Default AT slips forward in reverse

Can anyone tell me if it is normal for my 2007 Grand Caravan to slip forward when facing downhill while in reverse.

Welcome to DF
What makes you think the transmission is slipping in reverse?

I was parked on a downhill alley facing downhill. When i put the veh in reverse took my foot off the brake it rolled forward and the only reason it stopped rolling is I applied the brake. Once i pushed the throttle it grabbed and went backwards normally but I was surprised by the forward roll.

?

As dodgecaravan2010sxt had said, it maybe normal. It is normal, Because you don't have enought RPM for the transmission to hold in reverse.
