Hi Fellow GD Owners,

Just came home with our GD 297 RSTS Travel Trailer today.....about 34 ft long. Looking for recommendations for a nice set of heavy duty rubber chocks for in front and back of the wheels when parked. Also looking for reccs on what to put under the stabilizer jacks (do we use the RV leveling Lego-like blocks or Ox Blox?) TIA
 
We use the rubber chocks from Harbor Freight, price is right, just keep them outside for a day or two to let them outgas. We use the Camco yellow blocks, cheapest way to go, not really cheap, but cheaper and more adjustable than ones like the OxBlox, or Andersen buckets. Although we do have two Andersen buckets for the front legs.
 
+1 for Harbor Freight blocks, Northern Tool also has some decent rubber ones.
 
Another vote for Harbor Freight chocks (the large ones).

I tie 2 together so it is easier to tote around and also pull loose.

Am I the only one using a set on each side? I had a TT skew on me once because I only blocked one side - an unforgettable moment.
 
X2 on the Fastway. Love them. Adjustable for any space between the front and back tire so you have a nice tight fit.

Nope you are not the only one, we chock both sides too. Can't beat the harbor freight chocks, inexpensive and they work!
 
We use these from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHGBQXG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. If the trailer rolls over these I'm letting it go. They are a bit more expensive than the ones from HF but they weren't available at the time. We also use a set of X-Chocks between the wheels to eliminate any front to back rocking while we're moving around the trailer.

For the stabilizers I just bought a 2 x 6 from the BORG (Big Orange Retail Giant) and cut it into 10" lengths. I stack them into an old milk crate and keep them in the back of the truck. When I need them I can just stack as many as I need under the jacks. They will eventually dry out and crack but in the 4 years I've had them I've only lost one.
 
X whatever # we’re up to on the Harbor Freight rubber chocks. Inexpensive and solid. We also use the Lynx levelers when needed; easy to use and lightweight.
