 Topic: Wheel ChocksPosted: 21 Mar 2017 at 10:07pm |

Does anyone have ideas for the best wheel chocks to store my new Rpod 176? I'll be keeping it in my driveway which has a slope to it.
Thanks for the help!

The yellow plastic ones at Walmart are okay but the big heavy black ones are probably better.

The Bal wheel chock is a little pricey, but if you want to be sure that your Pod does not move I highly recommend it.

Dang. I responded re chocks, but mistakenly in a different conversation, so I'll duplicate it here.
Several years ago, a forum member described 2X4 chocks that held airplanes. A roughly 20 inch crosspiece with roughly 10 inch lengths splayed out at each end. They are heavy and bulky, but cheap.

We had a bunch of bricks left over from a project at home, so I just keep several in the Pod for chocking.

I have "yellows" from Wally World and black ones from Northern Tool, I like the black ones better, in my auto repair endeavors I have been using 2X4s,4X4s and bricks for years. My black chocks I put an eye bolt in the side with nylon rope and a wood handle to pull them out mo better.

Home Depot $15 each.. Done..Can't be beat. My driveway has a good inline to it, and the yellow plastic ones that came with my "VR starter kit" were awful. The pod could inch forward a bit until they "caught" on the asphalt. Scary. I bought the rubber chocks and they will hold a dump truck. |

I like these they have a rubber bottom edge, once you place them and let the trailer roll on them you can't pull them out. |
