parking pad for 38 Foot Neptune

So I bring the Neptune home, use the stabilizer jacks to level the rig and leave craters in the driveway. Happy to say I have two driveways )so this isn't the "main one"...but given that this may happen again, I am thinking that I might want to pour a concrete pad for the rig or sections for me to position it for the jacks.

Anyone spent that kind of money? We will probably leave it in the driveway when camping this summer....sort of a "break out another thousand" type question.

Thanks in advance for your indulgence.

    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.

    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.
