Camco 44470 Double RV Wheel Chock with Rope, Yellow

Chocking your tires is one of those five-second habits that saves you a world of trouble. Park an RV, a camper, or a loaded trailer on anything but dead-level ground and gravity starts working on it the second you unhitch. The Camco 44470 is a simple, honest answer to that. It's a pair of bright yellow hard-plastic chocks joined by a rope, and it keeps your rig right where you left it.

You get two chocks in the set, linked together by a length of rope with a handle. That rope does double duty. Snug both chocks against a tire, and when it's time to roll, you just grab the handle and pull them both free without crawling around on the ground. The same handle makes them easy to carry from the storage bay out to the wheel and back, and it gives you something to hang them on when they're not in use. No fishing around under the trailer, no bending down twice. Two chocks, one grab. That's the whole idea, and it's a good one.

They fit tires up to 26 inches in diameter, which covers the vast majority of travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups, and the boat and utility trailers you're likely to be towing. Because it's a standard chock shape, it isn't fussy about what it's stopping. Any standard vehicle or trailer tire up to that 26-inch mark works. Set one at the front of the tire and one at the back if you're on a slope and want to lock movement in both directions, or drop both against the downhill side and let them do the holding.

The chocks are molded from durable hard plastic with UV inhibitors built into the material. If you've ever had a cheap plastic accessory go chalky and brittle after a summer in the sun, you know why that matters. These are built to live outdoors. Rain, heat, campsite gravel, the bed of your truck, they take it in stride and keep their shape season after season. And they're light. You're not hauling around a couple of steel blocks here. You can set them and pull them one-handed without a second thought.

The bright yellow color isn't just for looks. It's a safety cue. A yellow chock against a dark tire is hard to miss, so you're far less likely to hitch up and drive off with one still wedged under the wheel. Small thing, but anyone who's dragged a chock halfway down the campground road will tell you it matters.

So who's this for? Just about anyone parking a trailer or RV who wants a little peace of mind. Weekend campers leveling up at the site. Boaters backing a trailer into a spot at the ramp lot who don't want the rig creeping while they rig up. Folks with a utility trailer sitting in the driveway. Even parked on level ground, a good chock is cheap insurance against a rig that decides to roll while you're loading it or hitching up. It's an inexpensive piece of gear that earns its keep the first time it stops a roll you didn't see coming, and at this price there's no reason to skip it.

A couple of honest notes before you buy. This is a standard double chock set, not the scissor-style chock that wedges in between tandem tires. You place these against the tire the way you'd chock any wheel. And it's built for personal RV and trailer use, not for commercial or heavy-duty applications. For keeping a camper, a boat trailer, or a travel trailer parked and steady, though, it's exactly the kind of simple, made-in-the-USA gear we're happy to keep on the shelf.
