Re: [A/S] jacks/stabilizer and wheel locks

The trapizodial wheel locks are nice, but maybe a bit pricy for me.  
I decided to do it on the cheap. <LOL>  

I took a 2" x 6" plank, cut one end on 45 Degrees, set the long side 
down on the ground, marked the board where it would fit in the space 
between two adjoining tires, cut the other end at 45 degrees, and 
checked for fit.  Then, I used this plank as a guide to cut 5 more 
pieces.  I screwed 3 pieces together and ended up with 2 trapizoidal 
blocks, each 5" wide.  These blocks rest on the ground, one on each 
side of the A/S, between a set of tandem wheels.  Works great.

Of course, a REALLY DETIRMINED driver could pull over the top of 
these blocks.  If I'm on a hill, I add chocks on the downhill ends. 

P.S. When pulling away from a site, I usually ask my co-pilot (or she 
insists) to look back at the site to be sure nothing is left behind. 
(Experience teaches many lessons <grin>.)
