  1. A bit late, too, but I'm on Lake Livingston, Tx, just west of the Escapees office in Livingston.  By on the lake I mean it.  I can open my back window and cast into the lake.  I pay $350/month, plus electricity.  Paved roads and concrete pad. My elec bill runs from $45 in winter to $175 in July and August.  There are a couple of parks near me, not on the water, for $275 to $300, plus elec. There are a few other parks for less, but most are a bit sketchy. 

  2. Thanks for all the inputs.  I guess I'm just conditioned to chock something, even if it's wrong :)  I spent many a year as a volunteer firefighter, and it was SOP to chock first and ask questions later.  

    I did get the tires on the platforms, and, with the tranny in Neutral, let off the brakes.  The Rambler creeped just a bit.  So I engaged the AutoPark and got out.  I did chock both rear tires to the rear, and one on the front side.  

    Overkill?  Almost certainly.  But I'll snore better.

     

    Thanks Again!

  3. I am fulltiming in a '97 Holiday Rambler Vacationer.  16,500 lbs on the Chevy chassis.  It has the AutoPark that is much maligned.  I am currently in a park with fairly level gravel.  I have built 4 inch platforms to keep the tires off the ground, large enough to spread the weight.  It occurs to me that I should chock it well.  I do use the levelers to stabilize it, but they aren't extended much.  

    My question is How many tires should be chocked, and which end?  I am thinking that one very well chocked tire would be sufficient to prevent movement.  Two might be better, but only a few percentage points better.  Because of the hose and cable connections, I don't want to chock the rear.  Would one front tire being very well chocked keep you from lying awake at night?
