Hello all.Does anyone have direct experience with parking a 33 ft RV on a grassy area next to a driveway and if so, what is the best material to use over the grass and under the wheels?Is it 1/4 or 1/2 plywood, cut to a dimension greater than the tire? Or is something else better to distribute the weight of the RV over the grass. The driveway is not wide enough to park the RV and get our cars in and out of the garage.Any and all thoughts, suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated!Thanks all!G Man

What would you park your car on if you parked it on the grass over the winter?Unless you have very hard parked soil under the wheels, the boards need to be somewhat larger than the wheels to prevent it from sinking into the grass.Bill

I would purchase a couple rubber horse stall mats and cut them to fit. You can get them at most tractor supply or farm supply stores. I use them for jack pads and leveling blocks.

Thanks guys. Larger boards is a great idea. The cars will be inside the garage, the RV parked on grass next to the garage. The grass is hard packed but I like the idea of big boards.And rubber mats is a good idea too!Thanks again!

We bought a 2 x 12 board, had Lowe's cut it in half to make two 6' boards. We are on the grass on the side of the garage.

Make sure you wait to move it until the frost is out of the ground and it is drying up from spring rains. If not, you will end up buried in mud like we did our first spring. Ground looked ok, but as soon as motorhome moved, grass gone and gushy slimy mud right under the surface. Yuk - hope to never repeat that experience.

Yes, don't want to get stuck. I think that the rear wheels will still be on the concrete of the driveway and only the front wheels will need to be on the grass. The coach is 33 feet long.
