• Recommended Heavy Duty Rubber Wheel Chock for 5th Wheel Trailer
  It is best to use a set of wheel chocks either between the inside tires or in front and behind of the outside tires but I would definitely use more than one per side. That said, I recommend the Buyers Products Heavy Duty Wheel Chock part # 337WC0888 over the MaxxTow Wheel Chock part # MT70073 and MaxxTow Wheel Chock part # MT70072 because it is heavier (10 lbs) therefore less likely to slide and it has more contact with the tire both width wise and height wise when compared to the MaxxTow...

• What Does MaxxTow Wheel Chock with Eyebolt # MT70073 Weigh and Does it Smell Bad
  I'll shoot you straight! The MaxxTow Wheel Chock with Eyebolt # MT70073 weighs 8 lbs. They smell not great honestly and it is noticeable.

• Wheel Chock and Lock for a Tandem Axle Travel Trailer
  Wheel stops such as # UF21-001070 are designed to stop rocking back and forth just like you said. For a wheel chock I would go with # MT70073 but to keep someone from trying to steal the trailer you could use a wheel lock, # WI490 or # RA-25.

• Wheel Chock Recommendation for Launching a Boat
  On a slimy boat ramp there really aren't any traditional style wheel chocks I would feel comfortable recommending for you. If you have a tandem axle boat trailer I would recommend the # UF21-001060 as this installs between your tandem axle tires and will prevent the trailer from moving. See install video. Your best option would be to have at least one other person help you launch your boat. One to sit in the tow vehicle to cover the brake while the other launches the boat.

• Trailer Suspension Lift Kit for 2017 Airstream Sport 22 Single Axle Travel Trailer
  A bolt-on axle over-under kit like # K71-384-00 and # K71-385-00 will typically give your trailer between 4 and 5-inches of lift. The exact amount of lift depends on the axle diameter and the height of the leaf spring stack. Lift will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the spring stack.

• Can I use the Curt Echo Brake Controller as an Emergency Brake
  Since a brake controller reacts to either the brake pedal of the tow vehicle being depressed or the internal mechanisms within the controller reacting to a change in inertia while traveling, they cannot truly be used as a parking brake. Additionally, not all trailer brakes have an emergency brake system on them, and those that do usually require a small modification. Brakes like the # K23-086-00 and # K23-087-00 both have manual parking brakes. These brakes utilize the 12V power from...

• Bottle Jack and Safety Stands for Use During Trailer Maintenance
  A bottle jack like the Powerbuilt # ALL620471 is the right type of jack to use for changing and rotating tires and other trailer maintenance work. But using wood blocks will reduce the stability of the jack and affect the safety of that process. Any trailer work is best done with wheels chocked on both sides. We offer rubber wheel chock products like # MT70073 and # MT70072 to steady the trailer while you work on it. If you like the Powerbuilt jack for its size you can use it along...

This product is excellent for reducing the rocking of your occupied trailer or RV but it is not intended as a safety device like actual block-style wheel chocks such as # MT70073. For wider wheel spacing the similar item # UF21-001095 is offered. Please refer to the linked video for installation details. Either kit...

• Can Breakaway System of Trailer be Used as Parking Brake

• Benefits of Natural Rubber Wheel Chock MT70073 Over Plastic Types
  A wheel chock made of natural rubber such as MaxxTow # MT70073 will certainly have an odor when it is brand new, and also for some period of time after use. Plastic chocks like # 288-02011 tend not to have this issue. You may have noticed that a new vehicle or a vehicle with new tires will tell your nose it is there when you enter the garage, for instance. Over time this odor fades. But on the other hand, a natural rubber wheel chock cannot crack or chip, will better resist stress...

• How to Safely Uncouple a Trailer on an Incline
  Whenever a tow vehicle and trailer are on an incline there will be pressure applied to the hitch ball and coupler. This will make it difficult to uncouple the trailer from the hitch ball. A trailer jack and/or hitch ball lubricant such as # 58117 can sometimes help. The tow vehicle and trailer should always be on a level surface when coupling or uncoupling, and wheel chocks should always be used to ensure the safety of those around the trailer and the trailer itself. We offer a number...

• Can a Trailer be Parked on a Driveway with an Incline
  Since your driveway is on an incline the trailer will have to have the wheels chocked so it can't roll. Or it will have to be coupled to a tow vehicle while it is parked. It is hard to beat a good rubber chock such as # MT70073 sold in quantities of 1. This chock has an eyebolt so you could hook a rope or chain to it to make it easier to pull out. I have included a link to all of the trailer wheel chock options for you.

• Stabilizing a Trailer Side to Side and Front to Back
  Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001070 fits a wheel spacing of 1-1/2 inches to 5-1/4 inches, but not 1-3/8 inches. I recommend using a couple of traditional chocks such as # MT70073. You could put one at the front of the front tire and one at the back of the back tire, or have them both between the tires to prevent tire movement. To help further stabilize the trailer I recommend using stabilizer jack set # UF48-979004. Each one of the jacks has a 6,000 pound capacity...

• Wheel Chock Recommendation
  By far the most popular wheel chock we offer with our customers is the Wheel Chock part # MT70073. This chock has way more positive reviews than the other chocks and is at a great price so I would recommend it for you. Two of these would work great. One in front of a wheel and one behind either the same wheel or a different one. These should work in nearly all conditions just as well as any other chock. I attached a review video for you to check out.

• Adapter to Move a 5th Wheel Trailer with a Dolly that has a 2 Inch Diameter Ball
  You would have to use a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter such as the Ranch hitch # AM3100. All of these adapters couple to a 2-5/16 inch ball but for use with a dolly and not actually towing the trailer it is possible that a 2 inch ball could be used. But I would advise using a 2-5/16 inch ball if you are able to use one with your dolly. Dollies like what you are describing usually do not have the capacity for heavy 5th wheel trailers. If you move forward with this then make sure the capacity...

• Wheel Chocks to Secure Trailer while Loading Heavy Equipment
  There is no brake controller with a parking brake function. Your best bet is to find a buddy to step on the brake pedal for you when loading equipment. You should also chock the wheels with wheel chocks like # HT38511 or MaxxTow # MT70073. I would go with The MaxxTow solid rubber wheel chock, which weighs about 8-lbs so it will definitely tend to stay put better than a lighter plastic type. It also includes an eye bolt to which you can tie a rope for easier handling.

  If you are looking for a way to reduce the front to back movement of an RV when parked stabilizers like the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001070 would be your best option. If you are looking for a brake to prevent a trailer from rolling down a hill when unhitched a wheel chock like part # MT70073 would be better.

• Trailer Jacks for Stabilizing and Lifting 5th Wheel Trailer
  When you need to remove a hub from your 5th wheel trailer to do wheel bearing inspection and re-packing you'll want to use a jack that lifts the trailer at the I-beam at the side of the frame. Scissor jack stabilizers like # UF48-979002 are not meant for lifting so much as for supporting a portion of the trailer's weight. You certainly CAN use a scissor jack to stabilize the trailer at camp. A safer way to remove your wheel and hub is the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620 or the Blaylock...

• Using Rack Em Wheel Lock on Trailer that is Parked on Incline
  I recommend using the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 with a wheel chock since you said you will be parking on an incline like the MaxxTow # MT70073. The lock will act as a theft deterrent and the chock will prevent the trailer from rolling away. The # RA-25 wasn't designed to stop the movement of a heavy trailer on a hill.

• Method to Secure 2012 Scion iQ in Toy Hauler Trailer
  The MaxxTow Adjustable Wheel Chock # MT70075 that you referenced does bolt to the trailer floor with included hardware but this is intended for motorcycles and is not suitable for your Scion. Also, you would need to go through the process of unbolting it each time its used (meaning crawling under the trailer). The same is true for their Self-Locking Wheel Chock # MT70271. If your transport is a one-time or occasional event you might instead consider a pair of basic rubber chocks like...

  To help prevent sway on your 2000 Fleetwood Tioga while parked, but the Ultra-Fab, # UF39-941705, is a stabilizer jack designed for travel and fifth-wheel trailers. What you can do is use the SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils # SSC-31 which will not only help as you drive, but keep your Tioga more level when you are inside.
