I looked online and your tire spacing is what I have. These are designed for tires with spacing of 1-1/2" to 3-1/2"
All the best.

Also, after you're set up and put these on, retighten a bit later as the tires will cool off and shrink a bit.

Measure the distance between the two rear tires.

Measure the distance between your tires at the closest point. The Camco Wheel Stops give a range that each size (small or large) will fit. I think it’s on Camco’s website.
I’m gonna guess that small will work on your tt, but that’s a wag. The small worked on our 2703WS. 
The specs are on Amazon also.

My 2016 Mini Lite 2503S tires are 2-1/2" apart. I use the standard BAL X-chocks. They can go from 1-3/8" up to 10".
The extended version will go up to 17".

I see the reasoning, but then you have to (or certainly should) use some sort of alternative chock in the interim.
I do check the tightness after the tires have cooled and from time to time while camped.
Never had a problem.
One note of caution !!!!!! Do not forget to remove the BAL Chocks before moving the trailer. You could blow your tires!!!!
Cheers,
John
