Great trailer & great pics.
I was not happy with the state of wheel chocks either. What I have done to help is a few things. I made my own, with teeth & a handle. They dig into the ground nicely & I have never had them move. even on soft downhill grade. I also made a special jack for our camper that works great & accomplishes a few tasks. #1) I can change a flat tire & be back on the road in 15 min or less, & #2) I can put it under the axle of camper & lift either side to level & then block it. Instead of driving up onto blocks & having them move.
For the jack, I used one or these: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-1-2-half-ton-trailer-stabilizer-jack-96406.html . I then had a rectangular piece of 1/4" thick steel welded on top (all the way around & where the holes in stock jack are (I think they call them rosette welds). I then had them cut a 3-4"long, piece of 3" ID, 1/4" wall tube. Then cut that in half length wise. Used 1 half of that & had them weld it all the way around, on top of the flat 1/4" wall plate. The U cups the axle on our camper perfectly, so there is no danger of it slipping off the axle when a semi truck goes by & rocks your trailer, if you are on the side of the road changing a flat. I use my 18v Ridgid 1/2" impact wrench. It raises the camper in seconds. Our camper weighs 3500 lbs max, so we are well within the jacks 5000 lb capacity. I works really well. So much easier that trying to stack blocks & driving up on them & having them slip or slide. All that stuff takes up room, thats why we got the custom cap. A place for everything & everything in it's place. Our 2 ARB coolers go in the back on my home made bed slide . Hope this gives you some ideas if you want to build your own. I used a lot of scrap lumber to make the blocks & chocks.
