Default Securing in my 5th wheel

Hey guys.........anybody have any suggestions on what kind of wheel chock set up I can use in my 5th wheel toy hauler.....I cant secure anything to the floor because of water tanks and wires so any info on a chock or what have you guys seen or heard about.....any help would be helpful! I bought a toy hauler so I could take the Harley with us while were camping but I don't want to be nervous hauling it around unless it's secure.


Thx Ross

RV.net is my favorite forum for all things camper related. Found this link in the toyhauler section. A chock that secures with straps.

Thx Cprhed.......I have that exact system right now lol but the plate bolts to the floor and with this particular model it has a gas tank for toys n such right under the garage so I can't bolt the base plate to the floor and I can't find anyone that will drop the tank either?

I purchased a wheel chock system that had heavy rubber boots on the bottom of the extended legs/frame so it doesn't scoot forward when your placing the front tire in it. It has a wide stance so it keeps the bike upright when you get off of it til you use tie-downs to secure it. I found it on ebay somewhere. It was not very expensive as I recall either.

DMetcalf might have your answer right there. I did ebay search for 'motorcycle wheel chock'. I found items like he described ranging from $45 to $300.

I would be more concerned about the tie down anchors being an issue if you can't bolt to the floor. but the wheel chock really only helps hold it up until you get it tied.
