I have a pair of these levelers in the photo where you have to drive onto the curved black piece and insert the chocks under the now raised thin part.
On a slope, does it matter if…
- The van is facing down the slope or up the slope?
- The chocks are on the downhill or uphill side?
- I use the front wheels or rear wheels? (Parking brake differences?)
- I drive forward or reverse onto them?
I recently tried putting them on my rear tires in a spot I was reversed into an uphill spot. If I reversed onto them the chocks were on the uphill side but if I driver forward onto them the clutch would slip and I’d start rolling downhill even on 1st gear. I was also worried about my rear tires with the parking break applied not being on the pavement.
