(roads) is only permitted for a limited period of time.
►
Where possible, park a trailer in a closed area or an area
with a roof.
- The ground should be level, dry and solid.

Where possible, protect the trailer from being stolen and
from unauthorised use by third parties, especially chil-
dren.

When parking in a public area, make sure that the lights,
retro-reflectors and number plate are not covered.

tional supports) is not permitted - risk of tipping up!
