Slip a lubed condom over it.

no. think about it.....the floor folds on top of each other. If there is a chock.....it will interfere.
You'd have to get something like a Pingle removable chock.
Wrong!
I fold mine in half with the wheel chock on no problem, it just doesn't close tight obviously, but still folds up in quite a compact size. (far too lazy to take pics)

Those pingle chocks are definitely sh*t and way overpriced.
Harbour Freight sells a pretty nice chock for the money, and it comes in handy off the trailer for oil changes/bike service too:
Currently I've got my HF trailer rigged up to haul a pair of dirtbikes (with dirtbike/21" wheel specific chocks), but what I did was add an additional crossbrace near the front with nuts welded on so that I can bolt and unbolt the chocks quickly (using little t-handle bolts). I'll have to take some pics to show what I'm talking about...
I used these removable tie down rings from Mcmaster Carr (available from other places and ebay too):
The HF trailer is definitely a smokin deal for the money, but you gotta spend a few bucks to get it properly rigged for hauling bikes.

Understood, I'd never buy one either.. but if you NEEDED to fold that trailer in half you'd have to have a removable chock.
For dirt bikes it shouldn't be too bad. Set up the wheel chocks so the center bike faces the back and the two outside bikes face the front.
There's a subway next to the HF, have lunch and leave your title in the trash, certainly don't take it with you when registering. Also there is a vin plate attached to the trailer with two pop rivets remove it before registering the trailer. (That way if they ask if the trailer has a VIN and you say no, your not lying.
)
I declared my HF trailer parts at the border with receipt in hand and all the customs guy did was ask me twice if I bought smokes or alcohol. Didn't have to pay duty on it...saweet!
Of course you can just not declare them at the border, it's up to you.
There may be concequences tho.
