Camco 44622 RV Wheel Stop for Tandem Tires 26-30 in

If you've got a tandem-axle trailer, you already know that chocking one tire doesn't always cut it. The tires can still shift and settle, and on any kind of grade you want both wheels on a side held together. That's exactly what the Camco 44622 does. It sits between the two tires on one side of a dual-axle trailer and fits securely between them, so neither wheel can roll forward or back.

The idea is simple. You pull it out at the ramp or the campsite, drop it into the gap between your front and rear tires, and snug it in place before you unhitch. Because it works against both tires at once, it holds the pair to each other instead of just blocking one wheel against the ground. That's the right approach on a tandem axle, and it's a lot less fumbling than trying to wedge two loose chocks into the tight space between the tires. No tools needed, just set it in place and go.

Here's why it matters. A trailer that isn't chocked leans on the tow vehicle or its own brakes to stay put, and once you unhitch, that safety net is gone. Even a slight slope can let a heavy boat or camper creep, and a creeping trailer is dangerous and hard to stop by hand. Blocking the wheels takes about ten seconds and removes the guesswork.

Fit is the thing to get right, so measure before you buy. This one is made for tires 26 to 30 inches in diameter with 3-1/2 to 5-1/2 inches of spacing between them. Most tandem boat and RV trailers in that tire range land right in the window, but spacing changes with axle and suspension setup, so pull a tape measure across the gap first. Diameter is easy to eyeball on most trailer tires, but the spacing is the number people miss, since it depends on how far apart the axles sit. If your tires are bigger, smaller, or spaced differently, it won't seat the way it should.

It's molded from hard plastic in bright yellow, and the color isn't just for looks. Yellow stands out against pavement and gravel, so you're less likely to climb in the truck and drive off with it still in place. Plastic also means no rust, which is a real plus on aluminum boat trailers and anything that spends time around water and salt. It's light enough to toss in a dock box or a tongue box and forget about until you need it.

This is the single, no-lock version, sold as one unit, and it holds the two tires on one side of the trailer. If you want both sides covered, or you're parked on a slope and want extra insurance, grab a second one for the other side. It also pairs well with a standard single-wheel chock if your rig mixes tandem and single axles, or if you just want a wheel blocked against the ground as a backup. Camco does make a locking version of this same wheel stop if theft is a concern, but the 44622 keeps it simple with no lock.

So who's it for? Boat trailer owners hauling to the ramp week after week, RV and travel-trailer owners setting up at a site, and anybody with a dual-axle utility trailer who wants a quick, reliable way to keep it put. Store it out of direct sun when you can, give it a quick rinse if it's been in salt spray, and a single unit will ride along in the trailer for a long time. For what it costs, there's no reason to skip chocking a tandem trailer the right way.
