Parking on steep driveway

Another thing to watch out for is bottoming out due to the steep driveway. Have someone watching for you so you don't damage your dump valves, stabilizers, etc.

I just bought a new hybrid trailer, upgrading from a popup trailer (2007 Starcraft Antiqua 215SB - about 4000lbs dry). And I may need to park it in my driveway, at least for a little bit. But my driveway is quite steep. Would it be safe to park it in this driveway using X-chocks and some tough rubber chocks on the front wheels?

Note: i don't actually have snow right now, it's just a picture that I happened to have on my phone :)

I am not able to see your picture, so I don't know how much slope your dealing with , however, I have to park my TT on a sloped driveway and I have a 4x4 post that runs horizontal behind the tires on the downward side, held in place by two vertical 4x4, set in concrete in the ground (this is a back-up).

I have Roto-chocks on both sides in between the tires and using the roto-chocks the trailer does not move at all when I un-hitch from my truck, even with the slope and cranked up on the tongue jack to get it off the ball.

X-Chocks and wedge type chocks in front of the wheels will hold it.

Whatever you do make sure the hitch is secure on the ball and locked in place before removing the chocks when you hitch up.
