I use plastic leveling blocks for side to side, and blocks of wood beneath each stabilizer on the corner. I currently use x-chocks between the tires but am on the lookout for some rotochocks. The chicks between the tires really keep it from rocking.

The only trouble is getting her to stay in there for the whole trip.

Doh! Darn autocorrect!

Psst - you need a set of these to go with your screen name.

There are two sizes, one for tandem tires up to 5.5" apart, and another for tires up to 10" apart. I've seen some trailers with the tandem tires more than 10" apart, so I don't know what they're supposed to do.
My axels are spread quite a ways. I'll have to measure this weekend, before I look at the chocks.

That's a great DIY idea. I was just about to drop about 125 bucks on a set of these. Thanks.

I can't take credit for the idea, originally found the idea from rv.net.

I do exactly the same thing! I have two bags of 10 each bag I think and also have half a dozen 2X6's about 15 or so inches long. The orange blocks are not that terribly expensive and are really light and easy to store in the bags they come in. They lock together like Leggo blocks so stay put very well.

I use a set of Camco "lego" style blocks for leveling under the wheels and on each corner jack. I have a big honkin chunk of timber for the tongue jack and a set of the homemade in-between the wheel locking devices.
