go to your local RV store and buy two plastic tire 'chocks'....tie a rope to them so you can yank them into the car from inside the cockpit when you are ready to leave . the parking brakes on most are ornamental. the new styles work good, the old styles were intermittent. some worked , some don't . mine works but not on steep grades, hence the chock for me- just like the planes use. i am always worried when parked on some incline that some yahoo will lean into the car or get into it as some goofballs have done and flick the gearshift out of 1st and into neutral and my turn key car becomes a roller once again. yep, chocks run about $5, come in different colors . like your aaa card and cell phone, don't leave home without em. bill
