parking on hill

[trcothorn]

Up until today I’ve always stored my puma travel trailer at my in-laws because I never thought it was possible to keep it at the house due to the extreme slope. Well I managed to park the thing in the backyard and I’m curious if this looks to be acceptable to anyone else. I used 4x4 blocks of wood as chocks behind the rear axle, and drove in 1.5 foot stakes to keep the blocks from moving anywhere. I also used rubber chocks behind the front axle, and I finished it off with xchocks. It didn’t budge an inch when I decoupled from the ball, and I lowered the nose down as far as possible. It’s still at an extreme angle, but I don’t plan on turning on the fridge or extending the slide while it’s parked like this. Any problems keeping like this until I can build up a more level pad? We are planning on building a level pad at some point down the road.

thanks

I've had those exact same chocks slide on surfaces a lot rougher than a planed board with water on it, so headslap all you want but if I was going to have my trailer on that incline I'd make sure the chocks can't slip. The screws aren't going to hurt the rubber, are easy to remove, and even if the chocks do eventually need replacing they're like $10 each, a small price for piece of mind that my 5 figure investment isn't going to go racing down a hill and possible cause 6 figured worth of damage to something else.

I would be fine with it if were my own. Good job. Bigger chocks as you back in for it ro set solidly against? Drain as inwinterizing because on that grade you cannot drain tanks well it the weather turns? Hows the ground, solid enoigh to back in and pull out if it gets rainy?. Mud on the tires looks like the land is soft.
