I just got my new Cedar Creek 34 RSLA.
So far all is well.
I am using chunks of fire wood to chock the wheels.
I have purchased 2 different mechanical chocks from CW and neither fit between the tires.

($30 for return shipping)Never buy shoes without trying them on.

Any suggestions for chocking the wheels and stabilizing the unit would be appreciated.

Good Luck !

I use both kinds the yellow one that you put in front and behind the tires and also I use roto chocks between the tires I know it is most likely overkill but it keeps the wife from yelling at me about the trailer moving when she walks around inside I know using the chocks don't take all the movement out but it helps a lot

Ditto. Nothing fancy. less than $2 per chock and they have never failed!

I have a homemade rotochock (made from 2 sissor jacks) that I also use
just to keep the TT from rocking.

I use Rotochocks. They provide a positive lock on the wheels. Excellent product and customer service.
