Hi, I don't think it matters too much. It's easier to get in and out of the driver's seat if it's pointed downhill, and you could roll it to level to start it if it's pointed downhill , as well. That's my suggestion.

If it's at all steep, they are a lot easier to get in and out of pointed downhill compared to if it's pointed up hill steeply, you've not noticed that ?
