Backing Up
When backing up your portable restroom trailer, put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. To turn left, move your hand left. To turn right, move your hand right. Back up your portable restroom trailer slowly. Because mirrors cannot provide all of the visibility you may need when backing up your portable restroom trailer, have someone outside at the rear of the portable restroom trailer to guide you, whenever possible. Use slight movements of the steering wheel to adjust direction. Exaggerated movements will cause greater movement of the portable restroom trailer. If you have difficulty, pull forward and realign the tow vehicle and portable restroom trailer and start again.
Parking
Try to avoid parking your portable restroom trailer on grades. If possible, have someone outside to guide you as you park your portable restroom trailer. Once stopped, but before shifting into Park, have someone place blocks on the downhill side of the portable restroom trailer wheels. Apply the parking brake, shift into Park, and then remove your foot from the brake pedal. Following this parking sequence is important to make sure your vehicle does not become locked in Park because of the extra load on the transmission associated with towing your portable restroom trailer. For manual transmissions, apply the parking brake and then turn the vehicle off in either first or reverse gear.
When uncoupling a portable restroom trailer, place blocks at the front and rear of the portable restroom trailer tires to ensure that the portable restroom trailer does not roll away when the coupling is released. An unbalanced load with too much weight in rear of the portable restroom trailer may cause the tongue to suddenly rotate upward; therefore, before un-coupling, place jack stands under the rear of the portable restroom trailer to prevent injury.
