I just had my piece of junk Marathons replaced and the tire dealer put on BF Goodrich Commercial T/A's which are much better made and a 10 ply tire. The problem is that the only size was larger then the Matathons and I just got home and noticed that the BAL wheel chocks wont fit any more. I only have 1 1/2" between the tires and wanted to know about the roto chocks and how they work compaered to the BAL?
Thanks for the help.

Rotochoks are the best you can buy. They are made in many sizes. Talk to Pearl at Rotochoks and she will take care of you. I've had a pair for four years and they are excellent!

Best wheel lock I have seen, and Pearl will treat you like a King. Best there is.

I agree with the others, the only down side is they take a little longet to install than my other ones I have.

Rotochocks only way to go. Mine suddenly don't fit any more. Mor Ride changed some things, because they didn't want the tires so close together. Now I have to much distance between the tires. I'll call Pearl and see what she says. I need to measure the distance, just been to lazy to get over to the storage building and do it. Memorial week will be the first week out, so I'll get it done.

You can add our names to the list in favor of RotoChoks. They also sell front jack handles that are great. They were jsut trying them out when we got our chocks 4 years ago and send them for free, fntastic. Now they cost $15.

Well I called Pearl this morning and ordered a new set of Roto Chocks for our 5th wheel. She's great to work with and we even talked for a while. They should be here in about a week and I'm excited about trying them out.
Thanks for the help!

Have used both - like the Roto-Chocks best. They will work with very little clearance between tires.
