Walmart sells a cheap yellow wheel chock that is really handy for parking on hills. I keep one in the 77 westy van and use it when I'm parked on hills and especially when I'm parked on my driveway. They are easy to kick under your front tire when you leave, and only weigh a few ounces. I find if I really reef on my parking brake and leave it for 7-10 days, the rear shoes seem to stick to the drums and I have to almost rock the van to break them free.
