I was thinking about this and a question came to mind. 1st, I had assumed you were on a nice level paved surface. I also assumed that you place chock blocks on BOTH sides of the tires. I use 4 chock blocks when I set up, 1 behind, and 1 infront of both tires. IF you don't chock both sides, I would think that would be a big help. As far as being unlevel, I do the best I can, but being unlevel would make the situation worse. Just a few thoughts I felt might help.

Yes, I am on a paved concrete pad, but there is dirt surrounding it.  I was thinking I could put the anchors out in the dirt area.  And yes, I also had the wheels chocked front and back, but the chocks were blown away!

You might want to check out the BAL Single Axle Tire Chock. Since it locks onto the tire, it can't blow away. I have one and it works great. The tire can't easily roll when this is locked into place although with enough force, even it can be moved some. One for each side would be a lot stronger than using the cheap plastic chocks that don't grip worth beans.
