Camco EAZ-Lift 44661 Metal Wheel Stop for Tandem Tires, 2-Pack

If you've ever felt your travel trailer or fifth wheel rock back and forth every time someone walks inside, that shifting is your tandem tires creeping against each other. The Camco EAZ-Lift 44661 stops it cold. These are scissor-type wheel stops that wedge between the two tires on a tandem axle and spread them apart until both are locked against the ground. One piece of equipment per side, and the rig sits still.

Setup takes about a minute once you've done it once. You slide the compressed stop into the gap between your tandem tires, then work the comfort-grip ratchet wrench to expand the scissor arms. As the arms open, they push firmly against the inside face of each tire and tension the whole assembly. Snug it down, flip the lock, and you're done. When it's time to roll, you back the ratchet off and the stop collapses back to its compact size.

Fitment is the part people ask about most. The 44661 fits a tire spacing of 3 to 10 inches, measured across the gap between your two tandem tires. That covers the vast majority of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers running dual axles. If your tires sit closer than 3 inches or farther apart than 10, measure first. When fully compressed for storage, each stop is 14 inches tall, 4 inches deep, and 3 inches wide, so a pair tucks into a storage bay without eating much room. Because they collapse flat, you can carry a spare pair for a friend's rig without a second thought.

One thing to know: these work only on tandem or triple axles where two tires sit close together. A single-axle trailer has nothing for the scissor to push against, so it's not the tool for that setup.

Build is honest metal, not plastic. The body is zinc-plated steel, which shrugs off the rain, road salt, and campground mud that chew up bare steel over a season. The contact surfaces carry raised ribs that bite into the tread instead of sliding, so the stop stays put even on a slight grade or loose gravel. The ratchet wrench has a comfort grip, which matters more than it sounds when your hands are cold and you're setting these in the dark after a long tow. Little touches like that are the difference between gear you fight with and gear you forget about.

These aren't a substitute for chocking behind and ahead of your wheels on a hill, and they don't level the trailer. What they do is eliminate the fore-and-aft tire shift that makes a parked rig feel like a boat at anchor. Pair them with your regular chocks and stabilizer jacks and the difference inside is immediate. Walk to the fridge, someone rolls over in the bunk, the dog jumps down, and the trailer barely notices.

A quick tip from setting up a lot of these: check the tension again after your first night. Tires settle and temperatures drop, and a stop that felt tight at 5 PM can loosen slightly overnight. A couple extra clicks of the ratchet in the morning keeps everything locked. And when you store them, a quick wipe and the occasional shot of spray lube on the threaded rod keeps the ratchet turning smoothly for years.

You get two stops in the pack, which is exactly what a single tandem-axle trailer needs, one per side. Add the built-in lock and they double as a small theft deterrent when you leave the rig parked at the site. EAZ-Lift is Camco's towing and RV-hardware line, built for people who actually use their trailers instead of parking them in a driveway. The 44661 fits that pattern. It's simple, it's metal, and it does one job well.
