I’ll investigate these chocks further. I like having a rope between them which saves once more trip around the trailer to pull them prior to leaving. https://a.co/d/ayxkDzk

On class A coaches, I highly recommend Level MatePro. It’s made in the USA…..some Chinese knockoffs are out there so beware….

This is cheaper than Levelmate, has lifetime warranty versus levelmate 1 yr(my levelmate failed after 2 years) and not as many features I don't use. Very easy to use.

Personally the plastic ones would be my choice for a light trailer like you have. Those big ones are too big for the small tires on your trailer and are designed for large truck tires.

I’ll do a little test and try it. This is a ToyHauler with a single axle so it can have pretty heavy loading on each tire.

Hey Mike, what is "pretty heavy loading?" You measure everything! Have you weighed your trailer? While it is loaded? You can easily do so at any truck stop with a CAT Scale. It is useful knowledge for managing your trailer loading and towing safely. Getting that wrong can be just as dangerous as the electrical risks & problems you teach us about.

You can also check the trailer's weight rating sticker. For a single axle rig like yours (mine is similar), each wheel is probably carrying a max of no more than abut 3,000 lbs. If it were rated for more, you would have two axles with four wheels.
