I think they are basically a wedge you put under your wheel to stop the unit rolling on the slope!

Might be completely wrong though...wouldn't be the first time!

Levelling chocks are used under one wheel when you are pitched on a slope sideways.  Yes, they are a wedge which you (generally) have to tow the unit onto and are indispensible on an uneven site!  You then have a little chock to put behind the wheel to stop it slipping off the wedge - not that I could see this happening too often.

When we had a caravan several years ago, my husband made a levelling chock out of wood and the caravan never slid off this.

They are not expensive.  I think we paid less than £15 for ours from Towsure and it's made from very solid plastic.  I would'nt go away without this invaluable piece of equipment, it does save the wind down legs having to go up on tip toes!

Hope I've explained this ok!

Happy camping!

Sandy.
