Water is a different matter. Any anchor you put in by hand is going to struggle with water forces great enough to move the RV. First saturated soil is typically much weaker than dry soil and more importantly once the water gets to 2-3ft and is flowing...
Yes, this is what my guts have been telling me - anchor won't hold in soft soil covered with water.
It's not going to be 3ft above the ground. In this particular place - maybe 2ft max. Barely to the top of the beam, likely less, considering 4" pad. It does leave ditches deeper than 1.5 ft when water is gone, - hard to explain - streams make their way, digging into soft soil. The flow height around my pad - before it started digging in - was under 1.5ft above the ground during the heaviest rain in several decades. Though, weather records get broken as time goes by.
