Wheel Chock Parking Block Wedge 4 Pack

There is a lot on the line when it comes to parking your motorhome or travel trailer. A runaway RV can do lots of damage, from property destruction to personal injury or worse. The average net weight of RVs can range anywhere from 11,000 to 60,000 lbs, depending on class, size, and load weight. While your parked RV rolling away may seem like an unlikely scenario, it is possible if you rely exclusively on your parking brake and leveling jacks. In the case of extreme or shifting weight, brakes and jacks can sometimes fail, in which case your RV would no longer be secure. Because of this, parking blocks are recommended whenever you are parking your rig, even on level surfaces.

Wheel chocks, also called parking blocks, help to secure a parked vehicle by immobilizing one or multiple wheels based on the principle of gravity. There are no locking connectors or moving parts in place, just a wedge that disrupts the path of least resistance for the wheel. A wheel on an inclined plane will always want to roll to the bottom of that plane, while a wheel on the bottom of an inclined plane will remain there unless acted upon by an outside force. Brakes and jacks may fail, but gravity won’t. However, if you’re thinking to yourself that an old log or brick is a safe make-shift alternative, you should think again. Wheel chocks need to potentially withstand a tremendous amount of force, so the quality of materials is essential.

Wheel chocks are simple in design but can still vary in features and quality. These yellow chock parking blocks are molded from durable HDPE plastic into a traditional wedge-shaped block with high visibility. In addition, there is a wheel cut-out in the center for a more secure fit. The hollowed structure of this piece reduces the overall weight without compromising on strength. This set of yellow chock parking blocks utilizes high-quality materials and unique design features, so you can be sure they will keep your rig stationary.
