Concrete driveway thickness??
I would like to park my motor home on a driveway that I believe is about 3 inches thick of concrete. I have a diesel pusher that weighs about 29,000. The greatest single tire bearing weight is 5500...

All I've seen, have cracked wherever it felt like it, despite having form/saw joints.
Often that means if they sawed the joint, they waited too long. Just the expansion/contraction from day to night can crack a slab.
Forming the joint is OK for DIY work but hard to get consistent depth with wet concrete wanting to reform into a single piece.
Spacing for joints, depends on thickness and reinforcement...a thin non-reinforced slab will require a lot of joints. It will also be more critical that you have the base well compacted.
I get what you're saying and must admit, I'm pretty much of an amateur, for pouring concrete. Then again, I've seen the same from would be professionals
