MAXXHAUL 80681 2 Pack Heavy Duty Rubber Wheel Chock Overall Score: 82 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Big Great traction Disadvantages Heavy Weight The MAXX80681 chocks weigh 16.60 lbs, which makes them the heaviest chocks in this review. Heavier chocks provide more stability, but they can also make removing and installing difficult. On top of this, the MAXX80681 chocks will add weight to your RV when not in use. Size Measuring 10" L x 8" W x 6" H, these chocks are real monsters compared to others in this review. They are wider, longer, and taller than most other chocks, so it's no surprise they are used on aircraft. These will do the trick if you're looking for chocks for bigger or heavier RVs. Material Made from heavy-duty rubber, the MAXX80681 chocks will provide good traction in all weather. This rubber is also oil resistant to prevent any slippage. The MAXX80681 chocks have a steel eye bolt which is great for attaching a chain or rope to, making it easier to remove them. Unfortunately, this is not included. Color The MAXX80681 chocks are black, which is great if you prefer a more discreet style of chock. Just make sure you remember to remove them before driving off. For the size of the chocks, we think it will be pretty hard to forget them! Price A pair of the MAXX80681 chocks are usually priced below $30, which is a bargain for the quality of chocks you get. The durability and weight of these chocks will easily last you a lifetime. 2. Buyers Products WC24483 Rubber Wheel Chock Set Overall Score: 84 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Lightweight Made from heavy-duty rubber Disadvantages Short attachment cord Color will fade in sunlight Weight The WC24483 weighs 6 lbs, which is great if you want lighter chocks that aren't overly light. These chocks are heavy enough that they won't compromise stability but light enough that they won't add loads of extra weight to your RV when stored. Size The chocks measure 4" H x 4" W x 8" L, which makes them appropriate for most RV wheels. Although their height is only 4", your RV will need to be experiencing some serious wind to be able to move your tires over them. Material The WC24483 chocks are made from heavy-duty rubber, providing excellent traction on roads or when parking your RV on an incline. The chocks come with a 36" nylon cord, making them easier to remove and keep together. Although the cord is handy, it's too short to stabilize wheels on either end of your RV. Color The WC24483 chocks are black with reflective yellow tape in the middle of all 3 sides. This is handy for locating or removing them at night. The reflective tape will fade in sunlight, so make sure you store these away when you're not using them. Price Usually priced below $40, you may think these chocks are overpriced. However, these chocks stabilize small airplanes, and we believe it's well worth it for that reliability. 3.

The versatile design provides a traction pad that is resistant to oil surfaces, too, creating a great grip on your tires and the road. The only downside to these chocks is the smell of the rubber.

However, it will also make them blend into the background at night. So make sure you remember where they are before you damage your RV.

What's not to like? 4. Valup Rubber Wheel Chocks Overall Score: 86 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Great for small RVs Long connecting rope Disadvantages Very lightweight Not ideal for larger/heavier RVs Weight The Valup chocks weigh 4.2 lbs each, which makes them one of the lightest chocks in this review. Their light weight allows them to be installed and removed with ease. They also won't add unnecessary weight to your RV when traveling. Size Measuring 8.3" L x 4.5" H x 3.9" W, the Valup chocks are large enough to provide solid support. Since they are smaller and lightweight, we would not recommend them for big or heavier RVs. They are, however, perfect for small to medium-sized RVs. Material Made from heavy-duty rubber, the Valup chocks are far stronger and more flexible than plastic chocks. Their non-slip rubber ensures that your RV won't move even on the smoothest concrete. Connecting the pair of Valup chocks is an 8" rope. This keeps the chocks together and will make removing them easier when you're ready to roll. Color The Valup chocks are black with red stripes on each of the 3 sides. This increases the visibility of the blocks and ensures you won't be driving off without removing them! Price Usually priced below $30, the Valup chocks are perfect if you're looking for a way to stabilize a smaller RV. For the slip-resistance, oil-resistance, and durability these chocks provide, they are well worth the price. 5. BAL 149.1053 28010 X-Chock Tire Locking Chock Overall Score: 84 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Best stabilizers Versatile Disadvantages Expensive Incompatible with jacks Weight Weighing only 11.2 lbs, the X-Chocks are fairly light for the metal material they're made from. Although they aren't as light as most chocks, they won't add too much extra weight to your RV if you're on the road. Size The X-Chock is extremely versatile and can extend to 10" while also being able to retract to 1 3/8". This makes it applicable to all RVs, regardless of weight or size. They are easily adjustable between sizes with a ratchet wrench that's included. Material Made from alloy steel, the X-Chocks are robust. Along with a rust-resistant coating, they'll last well regardless of the weather. The X-Chocks smooth design prevents unwanted friction between the stabilizer and your tires. They also prevent your RV from shifting if you're moving inside the cabin. Superior stability! Color The color of the X-Chocks is the sleek silver of the metal. Making them easier to find if it's dark, as well as noticing you've got them on before you decide to drive off. Either way, you'll struggle to damage your RV if you forget they're on. Price One pair of the X-Chock costs between $70 and $80, making it the most expensive chock option on this list. It does, however, offer reliable stability, unlike any other chock. The only downside is that most stabilizers are not compatible with jacks. Keep this in mind before spending this much! 6. Valterra A10-0908 Wheel Chock Overall Score: 80 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Best value for money Robust for plastic chocks Disadvantages Not suitable for bigger RVs 1 chock per pack Weight The Valterra weighs less than 1 lb, which is great if you're looking for lightweight chocks that'll be easy to move. However, this does impact its maximum weight allowance. Due to the structure of the chocks, it'll be difficult to reliably park a heavy or larger RV without damaging its structural integrity. Size The size of the Valterra measures ‎7.8" x 4.7" x 4.5", so it'll fit tires of up to 15". The chock has integrated grooves on the wheel and roadside which improves traction. However, these grooves are quite smooth and may struggle to grip concrete or flat surfaces. Material Made from polyethylene plastic, the Valterra chocks are surprisingly robust. Many of the other chocks on this list would claim that chocks made from plastic are unreliable and weak. Yet the Valterra chocks prove this wrong, with the polyethylene strengthening its stability and structure. Color The Valterra chocks are bright red for high visibility. Unlike other colored chocks with only a few stripes of color, the Valterra will remain bright even if left in the sun. Price The Valterra chocks are only sold in sets of 1, so you'll need to ensure you buy enough for your RV. Although this might be annoying, each Valterra is priced below $7, making it a great value. 7. Andersen Camper Leveler Chock Kit Overall Score: 86 Check Out On Amazon Advantages Versatile Durable Disadvantages Expensive Weight The Andersen Kit uses a duo design that includes a chock and leveler to easily level and stabilize your RV. Weighing just over 5 lbs for both parts of the kits, the Andersen Chocks work beneath your RV's wheels, so you don't need to worry about pushing them in to install them. You simply drive onto the first part and slip the second chock in. Size The Andersen Chock Kit is adaptable and can fit all RV wheels and sizes. The leveler part of the kit is about 18 to 20" long, while the chock and leveler measure 8" wide, which is great for larger wheels. Material Since the kit comes with a chock and leveler that need to be used together to enhance stability, you need both parts to be durable and flexible, especially under the weight of your RV's tires. Luckily, the Andersen Chock Kit is made from heavy-duty rubber, providing traction and durability. Color The red color of these chocks might put you off, but the bright color of the Andersen's Chock Kit gives these chocks visibility and adds a little fun. You won't forget them under your tires.
