Wheel Chocks

Has anybody ever used Maxxtow Towing Products 70072 Solid Rubber Heavy Duty Wheel Chocks. Just want to know how they worked out.

I have used Camping World's small yellow chocks and never again. I have a new solid rubber pair now I paid about $15 a piece for. Work great. They are from NAPA but not sure of the brand. Any solid rubber pair should be good.

Best thing that ever happened to me was when the yellow chocks blew out of the truck on a trip . Ended up buying a pair of heavy rubber . I actually got them from HF for about $8.00 each .

I bought the heavy rubber ones from Layton Truck Equipment, $9, I think. They had some huge ones for the big rigs too. The yellow ones are so bad people must have stopped buying them, because Walmart now has the same crud in black. You can fool some of the people...

I made my own from a scrap piece of 4 x 6 treated post. It was an easy cut to make on my band saw and I won't feel bad if I forget one at a campground.

I just got the HF ones also. Our plastic ones broke rather easily I thought, so I didn't want to buy another set. Rubber ones seem much stronger and more durable.
