crash down in the middle of the night!

[Wallace Craig]

Tom; I tried your numbers and they seem not to work; can you give any other
information about chocks.

FWIW the coach was on what I would consider relatively flat ground. I
had wheel chocks front and back of one front wheel. I had these wheel
chocks

After the big fall the front tire was actually on top of, squishing
the wheel chock. I wish I had taken a photo, but I was too upset.
The next day I ordered the chocks John Finn recommended!

Wallace,

If you go to www dot northerntool dot com. Item # 33171 is the ones I
had. Item # 451672 is what I have now.
I guess it was my own ignorance, but myself and the mobil mechanic
that was there were shocked that the coach rolled over the chock on
this relatively flat ground. He (the mobil mechanic) had the same
chocks, which he said he was getting rid of also!
