People can be seriously or fatally injured,
and both your vehicle and the trailer can
be damaged if they begin a downhill tra-

However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it:
1. Apply your brakes, but don’t shift into
gear.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.

absorb the load.
4. Reapply the brakes. Apply your park- ing brake, and then shift to P (Park) for
