Pouring of rv pad
Getting ready to pour a pad for the rv. I'm thinking 12 inch deep with 6 inch of some sort of gravel(3/4 trap rock or 3/4 process)then 6inches of 4000 psi concrete with wire mesh. The rv GVW is 35,700...

One question, why do you construct concrete pads for the motorhome? Because of the fact that concrete tends to crack and break p after a while, I went a different route. I created a pad made of crushed limestone rock, and inserted treated 4 x 4 wood pads for the wheels of the motorhome. The limestone bed is about one foot deep and on each side three feet larger than the motorhome. I also installed a water, electrical and sewer connection at the pad.
The advantage of the crushed rock is very good water drainage and no cracks in the material. Once in a while I have to apply a spot treatment for some weeds that want to grow in the rock.
This approach was also way cheaper than a concrete pad, because I could do all the work by myself and with the help of my trustworthy John Deere tractor!
