Parking on Hills
You
really should not park your vehicle,
with
a trailer attached, on a
hill.
If
something goes wrong, your rig could
start to move. People can be injured, and
both your vehicle and the trailer can be
damaged.
But
if
you ever have
to
park your rig on a
hill,
here's
how
to
do
it:
1.
Apply your regular brakes, but don't
shift into
P
(Park) yet, or into gear for
a manual transmission.
2.
Have someone place chocks under the
trailer wheels.
3.
When the wheel chocks are
in
place,
release the regular brakes-until the
chocks absorb the load.
4.
Reapply the regular brakes. Then
apply your parking brake, and then
shift to
P
(Park), or
R
(Reverse) for
a
manual transmission.
5.
Release the regular brakes.
