Benefits of Natural Rubber Wheel Chock MT70073 Over Plastic Types

Question

Question:

what would you recommend for a 14K pound with wheel. i was pretty sold on the big rubber blocks but all the reviews say they smell awful. That wouldnt work if i put them in my storage bin and they stunk up my RV. Will the Urethane ones keep my rig in check?

A wheel chock made of natural rubber such as Buyers Products # 337WC1467A will certainly have an odor when it is brand new, and also for some period of time after use. Plastic chocks like # 288-02011 tend not to have this issue.

You may have noticed that a new vehicle or a vehicle with new tires will tell your nose it is there when you enter the garage, for instance. Over time this odor fades.

But on the other hand, a natural rubber wheel chock cannot crack or chip, will better resist stress from temperature extremes and won't mind too much if you happen to drop it on a very cold day.

If it were my trailer I would still opt for the natural rubber for the durability factor. Also note that the MaxxTow includes an eyelet to let you attach a rope or cable which makes removing them from the RV wheels easier and safer too.

The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock #WI491KA-491LNP is for security and while it technically can stop your wheels from rotating it is not meant to stabilize a trailer to keep it from moving. What you would want instead is a wheel chock such as FloTool…
