5 Best Wheel Chocks For Steep Driveway in 2026: A Practical RV Guide

The Checkers large wheel chock is made for tires from 32 to 46 inches in diameter, which covers the big tires on a fifth wheel, a toy hauler or a Class A motorhome.

Compared with the 27 to 32 inch Checkers model, this one is sized a full tier larger, so it catches a big tire high enough to matter on a steep grade. Against the Vergo pair, the Checkers gives you a chock matched to a tire range rather than a generic extra-large size, which helps when your tires are in the upper 30s or 40s. The Vestil and HOXWELL are better for flexibility and quantity, while this one is the direct choice for tire height.

If your tires measure over 32 inches, this is the best place to start.

The Vergo Industrial chock is an extra-large molded rubber pair, with each block measuring 9.8 by 8 by 6 inches. It uses a nylon-enhanced rubber body, and the maker positions it as commercial-grade, with reference to OSHA 1910.178(k)(1) for commercial vehicles.

Against the single Checkers chocks, you get two chocks in the box for less than the price of the big Checkers, which matters because a steep driveway calls for a chock on the downhill side of each tire. The Vergo's 9.8 inch body is taller than the Vestil's 7.5 inch profile, so it catches a larger share of the tire. The HOXWELL gives you four pieces for more money, while the Vergo is the more affordable way to get a matched pair of heavy rubber.

The Vestil LWC-15 is a laminated rubber chock measuring 7.5 by 8 by 8 inches, with a reinforced metal handle and a curved face that matches the shape of a tire. The laminated construction resists tearing, and the handle is what sets it apart on a steep driveway.

Compared with the Vergo and the HOXWELL, which have no handle in the same position, the Vestil is the easiest to place and remove. On a slope, that matters because the chock has to be placed against a tire that may already be nudging downhill, and pulling it out later means freeing it from a loaded tire.

At about $40 it also sits near the middle of the price range, making it a sensible upgrade from basic wedges.

HOXWELL sells four heavy-duty rubber chocks with a polyfoam structure and a steel eyebolt, in a high-visibility orange. The eyebolt accepts a rope or chain, which is useful for pulling the chock free or tying two together, and the orange color stands out against pavement and gravel.

Because you get four chocks, you can block the downhill and uphill sides of both tires on one axle, or protect two axles on a tandem trailer, which no single-piece option here can match. Against the Vestil, it trades a rigid handle for an eyebolt and a rope, which can be easier on your back when the chock is low to the ground.

If your driveway is steep enough that you worry about a single chock failing, four pieces provide a built-in backup.

This Checkers chock is sized for tires from 27 to 32 inches, and it is built from the same impact-resistant material as the larger Checkers. The design uses an even weight distribution and resists weather and abrasion, so it holds shape in sun and rain.

Against the Vestil, the Checkers is the more precisely sized option for mid-size RV tires, because the maker states the tire range outright. At about $32 it is also the least expensive way here to get a chock matched to tire size, with a price well below the Vergo and HOXWELL sets.

Buy two if you plan to block both sides of a tire.
