Question about chocks

Hello, I just purchased a rockwood 2509s. I was looking at either the xchock or the onestep. Had anyone used the onestep and know if it will fit? The tires look pretty close together. And if I choose xchock, do I use just one or one on each side?

Thanks

X-chocks are my preference and yes, one per side between the two tires.

Seems more secure having 4 points of contact to the tires (two on each tire).

Ok thanks. And would I still use the ramp style chocks under the tires? Or would the xchock take the place of those?

I own the 23SS Roo and only use one. Typically on the side that is adjusted to level. Standard chicks on the opposite side.

I'm probably being a dork but I have them both so I use them both. I use the ramp style to hold the camper while I'm disconnecting and reconnecting.

I use one x style chock.
I place it on the right side of my trailer.
It's easy to see so I don't forget to remove it. I ain't crawling under my slide to install or remove one from the other side!
There's no exact correct answer. Do what works for you! Don't sweat the small stuff!
Happy Trails!

Always best to use chocks (of any kind) on BOTH sides.
I use the X-chock on both sides. They are the first thing in on arrival (after crawling out of the truck) and last thing removed before pulling out. No need to crawl under any deployed slide.(s)

There was a 13 page discussion on chocks/X-chocks here the last couple weeks.
**THIS** is the thread.

These wheel chocks would secure your travel trailer! But hauling them around would be a chore.
