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
hailer
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
PARK
(P)
yet.
2.
Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3.
When the chocks are in place, release the regular
brakes until the chocks absorb the load.
