Chocks

Chocks are a #1 must-have. They’re placed at the front and back of at least one tire (preferably both, especially on sloped or uneven terrain) to keep the Casita from rolling when hitching, unhitching and camped. Purchase sturdy chocks that have a solid or reinforced center. Otherwise, they’ll sink in soft ground or the trailer could roll over them. Plastic chocks, such as the yellow ones shown at right, should be tapped with a rubber mallet so they’re tight to the tire or you might find them in the next county after a heavy windstorm.
