Got an E-mail from CW that the BAL locking chocks are on sale 2 for $70. Seems like a good deal.

The family has complained a bit about the TT shaking when parked and set-up, but I don't know if these would help or not.

They do help, though they aren't the only answer. They made a big difference with our last trailer, a 23' HTT; less so with our current 34' TT.

I have one and it works great. Will get a 2nd someday. I had to modify it to get it to fit between my tires,

I saw the same ad and was I P.O. Paid $45 each for mine but I feel they are worth every penny extra I paid. Cuts down on a considerable amount of movement.

Seems I always buy things at the wrong time.

I wouldn't pass up this deal. They do a great job along with my stabilizer jacks and tire blocks. I bought mine more for when parked at home (driveway has a slight slope) to ensure it doesn't go anywhere if there was a big California earthquake (knock on wood).

I have a very heavy trailer and I dry camp offroad in very uneven terrain. The BAL chocks made a big difference for me. I've had them for 2 years and they perform/look like new.

Bought mine on sale at CW two years ago, bought the F-I-L a set for his B'day last year. They are great improvement in trailer movement. They also make chocking the tires a cinch (but please remember that they are between the tires before you drive off ).

I just bought a set myself and they really do help out, and easy to put on and take off.
