I am looking at having a parking spot built for my (soon to be new) 5th wheel. I want something that will last, but do I really need a 40 X 8 concrete pad built? Could I go with just a pad under whe...

sure you could. me, I'd do it right and construct a proper covered pad with an electrical post. and if zoning permitted I'd have a water and sewer connection
As Rich said, We have our house on a slanted few acres. We built a pad that has the rear end almost 4 feet in the air. It has concrete blockson the in the air end and then gravel and then dirt packed in. On top of that we have about 5 inches of concrete for the pad and then a building on top of that then another driveway to the street, Maybe 100 feet or so. When we were first plnning, we got some pretty werd suggestions. One went so far as to tell me we werent parking a 727 on there. But, we did it our way and very pleased with the result. We have an electric on a stancion, water and sewer hookups. The building is wide enough that we can open all of our slides and still walk around the MoHo. even store our lawnmower and other thngs in there. Build what YOU like and what YOU can afford. Just dont forget, the better you take care of that rv, the better it will work for you.
