Does anyone have ideas for the best wheel chocks to store my new Rpod 176? I'll be keeping it in my driveway which has a slope to it. Thanks for the help! ------------- Bryan |

The yellow plastic ones at Walmart are okay but the big heavy black ones are probably better.

The Bal wheel chock is a little pricey, but if you want to be sure that your Pod does not move I highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/BAL-28020-Single-Axle-Chock/dp/B001UGPEJA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1490176465&sr=8-6&keywords=bal+wheel+chock - http://www.amazon.com/BAL-28020-Single-Axle-Chock/dp/B001UGPEJA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1490176465&sr=8-6&keywords=bal+wheel+chock ------------- Rob & Becky 2014 Ford Explorer 3.5 SOHC V6 2015 R-179 Pod aka Piddle Pod "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain!!" |

Dang. I responded re chocks, but mistakenly in a different conversation, so I'll duplicate it here. Several years ago, a forum member described 2X4 chocks that held airplanes. A roughly 20 inch crosspiece with roughly 10 inch lengths splayed out at each end. They are heavy and bulky, but cheap.

| We had a bunch of bricks left over from a project at home, so I just keep several in the Pod for chocking. |

I have "yellows" from Wally World and black ones from Northern Tool, I like the black ones better, in my auto repair endeavors I have been using 2X4s,4X4s and bricks for years. My black chocks I put an eye bolt in the side with nylon rope and a wood handle to pull them out mo better. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Home Depot $15 each.. Done..Can't be beat. My driveway has a good inline to it, and the yellow plastic ones that came with my "VR starter kit" were awful. The pod could inch forward a bit until they "caught" on the asphalt. Scary. I bought the rubber chocks and they will hold a dump truck. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Buyers-Products-Company-Rubber-Wheel-Chock-with-Chain-Eye-3026984/204762799 - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Buyers-Products-Company-Rubber-Wheel-Chock-with-Chain-Eye-3026984/204762799

I like these they have a rubber bottom edge, once you place them and let the trailer roll on them you can't pull them out. https://postimg.org/image/66pgz7v5z/">  https://postimage.org/ - upload foto
