    x chocks

    Does anyone use x chocks on their 2600RB? I will pick up my 2600RB next week and would like to order and have chocks with me if possible before I go. I do have the normal black single wheel chocks.

    Thanks

    I've used x chocks on my prior coach and they worked well. Be sure to get ones suited to the gap between your tires.

    I use x-chock style scissor jacks between the wheels on mine. They make a big difference. Just don't overtighten them since I hear they can bend your axle.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you know the distance between the wheels on your 2600 RB or do you know the model x chock you got?

    Best,

    Bob

    I use these. They're not the nice aluminum X chocks but they seem to work well. https://www.amazon.com/EPOARTIST-Sta...NsaWNrPXRydWU=

    I use the same ones. They fit the 2600RB perfectly. I put non slip tape on mine so they grip the tire better (more friction). That way, I don't have to tighten them too much for fear of bending the axles.

    Just noticed you have a Pro Pride. Ordered that yesterday. Interest free for 24 months. Already in the mail. Great people to deal with.

    I believe this to be interweb lore. Think about the weight of the trailer. Think about how much it would take to tighten your X-Chocks to even match the weight of the trailer. I think that something in the X-Chocks would give way well before you could bend the axle.

    I use them and don’t give it a thought.

    I use our X chocks and find they do help stabilize us.

    We have a set and use them. Their added stability is up for opinion just like blocks or no blocks under your stabilizers.
