They may make a great product but I cannot at all imagine that would be a good idea on a 5th wheel. Even bicycles bounce a lot on a trailer hitch mount on the back of a long 5th wheel... the wheels on 5th wheels are quite far ahead to limit the pin weight, so there is a lot of frame behind the wheels (long lever arm).
The other thing is how many slide outs that new rigs all seem to come with. That will reduce any potential "monocoque" benefits from one piece sidewalls that older units have. I really think using a product like this for a large motorcycle is a recipe for a bent frame. (and a google search reveals that there have been a lot of bent 5th wheel frames with products like this)
On a diesel pusher? The Mighty Hauler sounds interesting.
A 5th wheel? Not me, no sir. If I did want to haul my Harley, I'd invest in one of these -

But, back to the OP - they indicated they have a toy hauler, so they are really asking about wheel chocks and tie downs inside their Montana. Hopefully they have a plan now
