Always chock your trailer wheels before unhooking not matter how level the site looks, especially when your wife is inside! Always, Always, Always.
Also, you cannot stop a four ton trailer from rolling by grabbing the tongue jack. It also does not stop the screaming from inside the trailer.
Now when backing the trailer in, I am not allowed out of the truck seat until my wife sets the chocks.
If you want to stop a four ton trailer from rolling you can grab:
The tong jack (Failure)
the safety chains (likewise)
the light weight steel cable that is hooked to one side (SUCCESS usually witin 3 feet) Yup, once that plug comes out of that break-away switch,, She gonna come to one screeching stop.
True story which I suspect Doug knows... Watched as a friend unhooked before chocking... Trailer darn near went marine on him as it rolled toward the lake (Stopped when the tong jack dug into the grass)
