trailering wheel chock
I am buying a 5th wheel toy hauler to use in my retirement and plan to take the bike to various locations around the country and do my scenic touring on the bike rather than drive around. The trailer has tie down rings in the floor but I want/need to add a suitable front wheel chock that will securely hold the FLHTK in place.
I am not really interested in hearing the "true bikers" lament how that is not "true biking", I want valid info on strong suitable wheel chocks. I would like one that hopefully has quick release clamps so it could be removed when on site and be able to use the garage are for extra living space. I figure additional braced tie downs may be necessary. The trailer is a Keystone Raptor. I weon't say that money is no object, because it is, but I don't want a junky chock either.
Will pick it up next weekend and don't have any immediate trips planned so I have time to make it right.

Thanks, this weekend I found a barely used 2011 35' one. Looks like it never went anywhere and no vehicle went up the ramp. Got it for about 1/2 of new cost. I'm gonna like this thing. Now I just need to retire and use it. Come on summer. Anyone have a link to the Condor. I know I am lazy and could google it.

I have a 36 ft Dutchman 5th wheel Toyhauler. The garage has the E-track ty-down system. I bought two wheel chocks like the condor from Harbor Freight. Been working great for almost 15K miles of towing now. Here's a couple of pics.

Check out the framelocks at framelock.com. That is what I'm going with in my trailer to keep from using straps. Pricey but nice.

I broke down and googled the Condor site and saw the e-track, but is there another place to get them? Looks like a clean secure way to go.
