Chocks worked just fine, on a pretty good grade. The pic doesn't show it well, but the tail end was at least 2' up in the air to get it near level.. Confidence restored.

I inched my way a bit...

That's precisely the set I have, now $10 less than what I paid. Grmph.

Your analysis parallels my thinking. Under the pressure involved when starting a tow, just at one concentrated spot on a...

About 2.25". It does make sense that a wider face would be less prone to cocking sideways.

I do have a hitch lock. My reasoning for the padlocks is (a) the 16D nails are a really sloppy fit, and (b) I'd rather not arrive at the campsite one day to discover that someone decided they needed...

I wound up buying and using a lever-action set all summer, and was quite content with them--though none of the places we camped really put them to the test. They have holes to padlock them with, but...

South-central PA, on a small mountain near Harrisburg. We can see the capitol building when the leaves are off the trees.

While we're of retirement age, we both still work, so trips tend to be...

Not really worried about wiggle; stabilizer jacks should take care of that if need be. But I anticipate parking on some fairly sketchy terrain, so want to ensure I don't wake up in the middle of the...

Now that I think about it, it does make sense that it should be pretty much a one-time setting, as long as it's locked in. Any attempt to roll would be thwarted by the cocking of the "X".

Makes sense; thanks.

I probably wouldn't have needed to ask, but I've never had occasion to get intimate with axle/leaf assemblies--and the weather at this time of year doesn't encourage one to...

Thanks John, but that wasn't the thrust of my question. I have no doubt that they're quite effective.

What I'm really asking is whether the force applied horizontally between the two axles could...

X-chocks: Good, bad or equal?
