  • I park my rig on gravel for long periods of time without moving. No problems.

    I am just ready to change out a set of tires because of age after eight years on gravel, moving the rig perhaps twice a year.

    Any water that gets on the gravel just drains down to the ground, leaving the tires high and dry, except perhaps for a wet spot on the bottom of the tire tread when the gravel is wet, but with no consequence.

    I don't use boards between the tires and gravel.
  • Our Southwind sits on gravel for months at a time with no problems.
    You won't have any problems or damage to your tires.
  • I also hear that gravel won't leach the chemicals from your tires like concreat will for long term storage. Just check for stuck rocks when you leave.

  • Well drained gravel will not cause any damage to your tires, even long term.
