RV tires on cement
We are permanent campers and just had a pad poured. What is the best thing to use to put between the tires and Cement? Would those plastic blocks at camping world be strong enough for year round use?
TIA

- Birdnst, take the time. It has always been said..prove it up.
"Even though some people might not understand why,it has always been said..." - Do you store a good battery on concrete?
Why not?
It as been on tire manufacturer websites.
I will not take the time to do your investigating. Birdnst wrote:

- We all know it is best for the tires, to give them a regular workout. If you move it once in a while, IMO, it won't matter if they are on plastic or cement. If you don't plan to move it at all, keep them covered, but they will age out anyway.
Jerry - If it's permanent, why bother?
- Hi.. seem to me that it would be okay to park on the concrete. I think the rig ahold be moved some times so the tires will not get a flat spot... Jim2007.
- It makes no difference.
IF.....the tires sit with the full weight of the trailer on them for 24 months or more, exposed to the elements and never moving......they will be JUNK anyway.
It would be better to jack the trailer up and block it so the tires are NOT the support points anymore.
Even then, after about 4 years the tires won't be good for anything except maybe moving it to a different parking spot in the same park. - What is your reason for separating the tires from the pad?
