Indispensable Wheel Chock Leveler

We purchased this leveling block initially as a way to prevent our Scamp from rolling forward in our garage when parked.  It is a large curved plastic wedge that can be inserted in front of one of the wheels on the trailer and will act as a wheel chock to help prevent the trailer from moving in a forward direction.  We use it in our garage at home just as a safeguard.

We discovered, however, the primary selling point of this device on our way up to Lake Tahoe.  We stayed overnight on a residential street in Oakland in front of my sister Hilary’s house.  The street is significantly sloped side to side and our Scamp trailer sat at a pretty large angle which would have made living in the Scamp uncomfortable.  After inserting this wedge in front of the Scamp tire on the lower side, I drove the Scamp forward on the wedge until the Scamp was just about sitting level (this was at about the maximum height of 4 inches that the wedge allows).  When the Scamp tire was at the top of the wedge (don’t go too far or you will either drive off the end or the tire won’t be resting firmly on the wedge), and being satisfied of the height, we inserted the second part of the wedge on the trailing edge.  The result was a nice level trailer and comfortable place to spend the night!

Note:  The Red/Yellow Trailer Lock Wheel Clamp pictured is a separate purchase.
