Rotochoks

[DLBurns]

Any body using rotochoks... . I am looking to get a pair for my trailer ( do I need one for each set of tires ? ) and would like feedback on the pro's and con's of these chocks. They ain't cheap!

BUFF, I have been using a set for about 2 years, I have 35ft. Triumph fith-wheel with good results! Mike Nielsen(doc)

I just bought a set but have not had the chance to use them yet. Rotochoks were one of the few out there that would work with the closely spaced dual wheels on my fiver. What I do know is that Newmar uses them to hold the rigs steady on the productions line. The trailer wheels are placed on pads that use air to lift them off the ground so they can move them along the line sort of like a hovercraft. Obviously they don't want them rolling off the pads. Since they seem to stand up to being used every day, that demonstrated that they worked and were durable as well. I would recommend one on each side.

I had a BAL scissior type chock that I used on my TT. The tires are to close on my fiver to use it so I was looking for a good alternative.

I see that Doc Neilson has used them for a couple of years now... must be pretty durable!

I want to help stabilize the fiver a little... . have a tripod in front and the rear scissor type jacks, hoping the dual rotochoks will lock this thing up so it doesn't feel like a roller coaster when we are moving around in it.

I'm interested in your findings, been thinking about a set myself.

Haven't ordered them yet... . we are going on a trip the week of spring break so I will have them by then and post my thoughts when we return.

We have been using "Chock & Lock" chocks for a couple of years now. We also tried a pin stabilizer and found they both provided about the same amount of stabilization on our fifth wheel. We chose the chocks simply because they took up less storage space.

I too have had them for a couple of years. Took the rock right out of the trailer. Simple to install, takes up hardly any room to store. A little pricey, but in the long run well worth the investment.



Happy RV'n. .
