I bought 4 of the larger, rubber chocks. They have worked well for me.

x2 Jack! Tie a rope to the handle to make it easier for the DW to grab them while you sit in the air conditioned truck waiting on her!
That's what I do...is that wrong??

X2 on the fastaways posted above.
For me the best also, locks against the wheels and stops movement right away. Trailer is secure and won’t move a little like regular chocks.

Yeah but you throw them in the truck bed behind the tailgate anyway. The rope leash is a great idea! Duh! One of the few things of value I’ve found at harbor freight...

Second that! Love my roto chocks! Using them on the 3rd unit. Holding up very well.
Unfortunately they closed down. From what I heard the couple retired and the children didn't want any parts of the company.

I only use chocks when my trailer is parked at home. Camping I use the BAL x-chock. I have been using mine for 4 years and they are my favorite way to anchor my camper.

So I decided to just stick with the old rubber ones.
