Very nice! I also have a tandem axle trailer, I thought I would suggest these to you:
They're great! Turn the screw and they put pressure between the tires and keep them from rolling. Doesn't matter what terrain you're on and takes seconds to put on.
I would like to go back to a smaller camper as ours at 29' is a pain to get a good scenic site at the State Parks. I don't like parking it out in the open. I like the backwoods surrounding campsites that are more with nature and away from everyone but the 29 footer can't fit many of these type of spots.
My previous Jayco Jay Flight 19BH did very well as did the 12' box pop ups. The pop ups opened up were the same 23' long as was the Jay Flight 19BH from bumper to hitch. Our current camper at 6' longer in length, really makes it harder to fit into spots.
I would really like to go back to a nice pop up but many have stopped making them. We do need the sleeping space for the kids so many of the smaller campers just don't work.
Those Pop Ups that are still be made and sold at dealerships (many won't sell pop ups because they make so little money on them and harder to sell with all the setup), are so darn expensive, they're just not worth it when they cost as much as a much larger and featured travel trailer. Plus we love our floorplan just wish it fit better into sites.

Some of the Bunk House models are well setup and don't have to be long. Bonus with them is you get an out door kitchen usually!
We didn't want the BH model because we don't need the sleeping space. The model we bought was the only one I saw with an outdoor kitchen with no bunk beds. It's a perfect fit for us. We were happy to come across it.

My tandem axles are too far apart for that. I will have to check if something like that is available for my setup! I like the idea. It's the "roll" in the TT tires that give the most shake in it when set up. But I could make something up that will do the same thing maybe. Hey, I'm a redneck...what can I say?

Glad it all worked out for you. It's great when you find the camper that works the best for you. Sometimes it's hard to find it.
Our 26BH is the same floorplan as our previous 19BH, but with an additional queen bed in front and more storage. This helped with our growing family. I had actually been eye balling the 26BH for quite a while when we had the 19BH but at that time didn't have a big enough tow vehicle.
When we had hail damage, which was only cosmetic, we used the repair money to upgrade. Absolutely love the 26BH floorplan and have no want to go with any other TT floorplan. I just get disappointed that many of the State parks have such small campsites on the outer edges, by the woods, that we just can't fit. So you can be comfortable while camping and give up the better sites, or get the better sites and rough it more. I don't mind roughing but my wife does. That's why we don't have another pop up besides their excessive prices.
I usually make my own kitchen away from the camper. I had the grills and tables that attached to the camper side but found for us, a separated kitchen in our screen house worked better for us.
With all of our stuff, we need all the storage space we can get and the outdoor kitchen took to much of what we need. They are really nice from what I've seen, some even have built in TVs.
This is what I use, not only do they chock the tire, they help stabilize the camper rocking (which is why I bought them). I use one and it works very well. Some people use one on each side to help with camper movement even more.
Also, don't waste your money on these plastic chocks as I have. They crack and break easily when setting them with a rubber mallet.
Camco wheel chock
These are the chocks you want and they're only a few more bucks each.
Camco Super wheel chock
You probably already know about all this but figured I'd throw it out anyhow.

Nice!!! How much were those? I just picked up a 4x4 ( chunk of wood, not a truck) and threaded rod to make my own. Maybe I should wait LOL
I think Wally World was selling them for around $50.
Well...seeing that like that....and being Dutch.......I wonder if I can adapt two older or inexpensive scissor car jacks to do the same way? Redneck mind kicking in!
