parking pad for 38 Foot Neptune

I am assuming that you have an asphalt driveway. Just dig out the asphalt areas, where there are craters, and pour a 24" x 24" by 24" deep concrete spot in the asphalt. This will handle the weight of the coach the next time. Add two layers of 4-#5 rebar at 90 degree angles to each other for additional strength. This will use a little less than 1 yard of concrete so the cost should not be that bad.

24" deep and two layers of rebar???????? It's not a 747. OP, after sawing the 24X24 pads (you can use a cheap blade on a circular saw) only dig down 6" and go get some bags of extra strength Sackrete form HD. Even on FL sand this is thick enough and no need for rebar. At least you will not have to measure where to put these pads. Might want to mark where you tires are to make it easier to reposition the MH.

That is why you are NOT a contractor. The OP is in New Hampshire and the ground does freeze up there from time to time. Pour it the way you are recommending and it will "heave" the first time the ground freezes.

I would just buy 4 stepping stones, should hold a 767 without any problem.

Put the stepping stones right on the asphalt And they will be recessed in a season or two

Stepping stones over a crater in the asphalt would probably break as soon as you started applying the weight.

At home I used crushed concrete gravel to make two 5x10' pads that support the front and back wheels and jacks. It was much cheaper than concrete and 4 yds of gravel was less than $200 delivered. Next to my concrete driveway I dug out the sod and shoveled the gravel myself. No worries about cracking or settling. A few shovel loads will relevel whenever needed. I used free oak mulch from a tree service between the two gravel pads so the coach wouldn't sink into mud if it happened to rain hard just before I was leaving or returning. Nothing fancy but it works just fine. Total length of the mulch and gravel is about 50'. Rain perks thru both the mulch and gravel. No mud and no puddles.

x2. The gravel pad is easy, and cheap. It does not heave or crack from freezing and is easily repaired when a spot settles. It's also easy to remove if you no longer need it or want to change the location.
I park our Southwind on gravel, it works great.
But, it doesn't look as nice as concrete. JMO

On mine I just open up the door and drive it in plug it in.

Unfortunately the ground in NH will freeze well below 24" unless it gets covered with snow early in the season. 24" deep is not going to stop it from heaving if water gets in. For some reason if they heave, they go back down come summer.
