I have a WW SL2805 5th Wheel. It's new and not been used for hauling yet. I bought it to camp with motorcyceles, full sized street bikes. I'd like to configure it to haul 2 street bikes (1 touring & 1 sports bike) & perhaps haul more bikes on a temporary basis.
I would appreciate a recommendation for type & brand of wheel chocks.
Recommendation for a removable mounting system. (meaning that I can remove them and use the floor).
Any advice concerning drilling mounts in the floor.

My neighbor makes these: EZ Chock.
I haven't used them before, but the product must be decent enough, because he's doing well enough to quit the "day job" and support his family with his chock business.

There has been a few threads on this forum about wheel chocks so a search might help a little.
Here is the link to one of the major players in the wheel chock business. http://www.condor-lift.com/products.asp
As for mounting, whatever brand you get, don't trust just the floor in the TH. Put something under the trailer such as a 1/4 steel plate.

We don't ride or haul bikes, but our camping family friends do. We sometimes meet them at the Dunes on the Oregon Coast. I think this is what they use in their toy hauler. Hope this helps some.

I dont use chocks at all, and dont need them, this is what i do.
I use a set of tiedowns on the front of the bike pulling it forward from the bars, then i use one tiedown wrapped around the rear wheel pulling backwards...
Bikes are secure and have never moved using this setup. I have 6 d-ring's in the floor of my hauler, 3 in the back near the ramp and 3 forward near the first cab...
I can haul 4 bikes like this, 2 facing forward, 2 facing backwards.

That's fine for dirt bikes, but I'd use chocks for street bikes.

Hi all,
We haul two Victory Motorcycles both 1500cc. We use BikePro bike chocks, they work really well and are removable once we get to our campsite. This way we don't break an ankle tripping over them 
Cheers,
Leslie

Check out the Condor PS1500 or SC2000. Expensive but very nice; works well, solid.

Only dif with a street bike is that its heavyer, so using the pegs sounds like a good deal to me. If you secure a bike by pulling it from the front and the back, it stays put quite well, and i dont have to jam down so hard on the forks to keep it still...
