Wheel Chock Question..

[YamahaRacer447]

So I am looking into a chock for my Roo 2011 233s. I have seen BAL X Chock, Roto Chock and the yellow plactic triangle screw type. My question is that I noticed that alot do not fit due to the Roo having a small 2in distance from the duals. I was also reserarching and on the market to make my own using 4x4's and all-thread to save myself the $110.00 deneros. I am looking for what other "233s" users are using, thanks for the input.

Don't know about other Roo owners, but I built my own with a piece of 4x4 and some threaded rod. I did use Fir 4x4, because it is straight, and I think looks nicer. It was also left over from another project. I just held the 4x4 up where I wanted it to hit the tires, drew a line, and headed for the chop saw. Worked for me. Think my angle was around 31 degrees, your angle may be different.

I also made myself a set from 4x4's. Cut them at 30 degrees. A 36 " piece of all thread cut in half worked out just right. Haven't used them yet, but for the cost I think they will be fine.

I also made my own with 4x4's and threaded rods.
Cost me $12 and an hour of my time.
Been using them for 5 years.

I use the BAL 28012 X-Chock Tire Locking Chock. $77. These fit between the wheels on my 2012 Shamrock 233s. They are slimmer than others and fit gaps from 1 3/8"-10".

4x4 with threaded rod ,2nd season and works great... I do need to spray some lube on the rod from time to time as mine stay on the tires whenever it is sitting still... I think i used 5/8 rod ,not sure but the nut is the same size as the stab jacks and that helps as i use the same ratchet wrench to snug up the jacks and i dont need multiple wrenches for the camper...

X2 on the X-chocks. They fit between the tires on a 233S and do a good job. Have been happy with them.

I made my own with scrap wood I had around the house. Work great now on 3rd year.

X3 on the X-Chocks...have one for my 233s, hope to buy another one this year.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to lookin into getting X chocks now that I know they will fit with my 223s. However for 20 bucks I might as well attempt to make my own and see how I like it.

We bought our x chocks from Amazon, way cheaper then any other place. They are currently $76 with free shipping right now for a 2 pack. Occasionally they will offer them "used" for a lot less. We did that because it was only $50 instead and when we got them, the only thing wrong was the box was damaged. They were never actually used so we saved a ton.

I have x chocks and love them. You will not be disappointed.

Pair of BAL X-chocks on ebay, new, in box, $67.95, free shipping. Ordered a pair yesterday.

[YamahaRacer447]

thanks all for the help, think i made up my mind and going with the x chock, going to try them out at dover speedway when im camping there for the week, lot 10 if you want to party!

I used two basic hard rubber wedge chocks from Walmart. They just fit end to end between the wheels.

you'll end up finding out that simple wedge chocks won't help with trailer movement, like tandem wheel chocks will.

These are my home made units - made by my lil'bro.

Made aluminum checker plate and square tubing. Works great.
