My first travel trailer that I bought used, was made in 1969 ,only had one axle, and was 12 foot long. I was younger and had no idea what I was doing.
I unhooked at the park, went inside and walked to the back of the trailer, as I got past the axle the jack on the front of the trailer came off of the ground and the trailer started to roll down the hill toward the lake ! WITH ME INSIDE OF IT !! I panicked ran toward the door on the front of the trailer and when I did the jack came back down and dug into the ground stopping the roll.
After that is when I learned about wheel chocks. lol
