I'm thinking you can look at the position of the rear brake linkage to see if the parking brake is actuated .
You might also look from inboard to see if there is a gap between brake shoes and drum .
I am away from my coach at the moment so I can't describe brake linkage position .
The owner's manual states that the engine has sufficient torque to break parts if parking brake is engaged when trying to pull away .
Having said all that , your coach will reverse . It would seem that the brake should hold in either direction .

Chock the wheels of course .
