I have just bought a campervan based on the FIAT Ducato with the auto gearbox.
I park this with its nose up to our garage which is on quite a slope. Yesterday when I first parked it there I had no problem. I just kept rolling and stopped when it looked like I was close enough (I wasn't but never mind).
Today I tried to move the couple of feet forward but just could not get my feet and handbrake to work together. All I managed to do was move several feet further away. I DID eventually park perfectly but it was far from controlled.
Is there a technique I have totally overlooked? Any tips gratefully accepted.
