2021 Pinnacle tire spacing for X-chocks

I just ordered x-chocks but read that some fifth wheel models have less than 3” spacing between the tires. The X-chocks I ordered need 3” or more.
Can someone tell me the tire spacing on the 2021 Pinnacles?
Thanks!

I have a 2016 Pinnacle and I bought a set of BAL X-Chocks from Amazon. They will retract to 1 3/8" and expand up to 10". These work great on our Pinnacle. The first BAL X-Chocks I got from CW and they would not fit between the tires on the smallest setting. If 3" is fully retracted, you may have an issue fitting them to the Pinnacle. I'm getting ours out of storage next week for our first camping trip of the season. If you haven't gotten an answer by then, I will measure the distance between the wheels on mine.

Agree with ETCrockett, if 3" is fully retracted you'll have a hard time fitting them. I have a set BAL X-Chocks that we used on a previous trailer and can't use them with the Pinnacle.

It's obviously personal preference, but with the 6-point leveling system I haven't found that we really need them, there's enough motion to be uncomfortable.

x- choks

I have a 2021 Pinnacle KPTS and use x- chocks without any spacing issues. I also use regular wheel choks and only place the x-chocks after leveling.

So your x-chocks retract to 3” or wider? The ones we ordered just fit 3” and wider but on the 2021 Pinnacle photos the space looks much larger than3”.
