My trailer has surge brakes on one of the two axles. My buddy gets use of a lake house from time to time. They invite the admiral and me to join them. Maybe because I have the boat?? Anyway, the house is on a steep down hill street. What's the best method for parking? I know to turn the wheel into the curb. I chock the wheels on the trailer. Should I allow the trailer to run down hill into the hitch so the surge brakes assist? Or should I chock the trailer and pull forward slightly to take the pressure off of the truck before setting the parking brake and putting it into park? I'm thinking the second way is best. I welcome your thoughts.
