A motorhome is the heaviest thing most RV owners will ever park, and the only part of it that touches the ground is four to six tires. When the coach is level and the parking brake is set, wheel chocks are the extra margin that keeps a loaded Class A or Class C from creeping on a slope, a soft shoulder or a driveway with a hidden grade. They cost a fraction of what the coach costs, which is exactly why it is worth buying ones that match the weight and tire size of the vehicle they are protecting.
Size matters more with a motorhome than with a small trailer. A chock that is only a few inches tall can be pushed up and over by a heavy tire, and a chock with a narrow base can skate across wet concrete under load. Solid rubber is the usual material because it grips by flexing against the pavement, resists oil and weather, and does not rust. Bigger, heavier rubber blocks usually hold better, and the tradeoff is carrying them around. A good set balances holding power with a weight you can lift without strain, because chocks that stay in the bay protect nothing.
This guide compares five rubber chock sets for motorhomes. We evaluated them on dimensions, weight, grip design, how the set is packaged, extras such as eyebolts, ropes and reflective strips, and price, weighed on published specifications and what owners report. They range from a pair of oversized 10 inch chocks to a four-pack of compact blocks rated for vehicles up to 8 tons, and prices run from $22.99 to $49.95.
Pay attention to how each listing states its rating. One set lists a 20,000 pound figure, another lists an 8 ton gross vehicle weight rating, and others give dimensions and weight without a stated limit. Those numbers are not directly comparable, because they are measured different ways, so a rating is best used as a check against your coach's gross weight rather than as a ranking tool. The sections below use named picks to cover the situations that matter most, with concrete answers for coach weight, budget, retrieval and dual-axle layouts.
One more consideration is how you plan to use and store them. Chocks live in a bay, a tongue box or a bag, and a set that is too heavy or awkward gets left behind. A rope, handle or eyebolt makes pulling a chock out from under a tight tire much easier, especially when the coach has settled onto it overnight. Decide how you will carry and retrieve the chocks, then match the set to that habit and to the weight of your coach. Chocks are a backup to the parking brake and transmission lock, not a replacement for them.
