- JIMNLINExplorer IIII camp in muddy areas sometimes but I sure wouldn't store my RV in mud.
Storing a RV long term vs camping for short periods is apples vs pickles. - lat471ExplorerIn the storage lot it's parked on gravel. When I go camping it's parked on gravel. No issues.
- Al_FrescoExplorerI park my class C on the type of door mats made out of used-tire strips. They allow for good drainage into the gravel base and provide tire on tire contact.
- Clay_LExplorerThe Michelin Tire Guide says to use something under the tires so I do.
I use thin flexible cutting boards I get at Walmart. Easy to store and cheap to replace. - 2012ColemanExplorer IIUse wood to keep the water off and tire covers to keep the sun off.
- noe-placeExplorerI park my utility trailer on treated wood also. Keeps the water off but still doesn't protect them from sunlight, etc.
- skipncharExplorerIF your tires can't take gravel you would not be able to use MOST campgrounds and even a few RV parks. No reason gravel would harm any tire.
- fla-gypsyExplorerMine have been sitting on gravel since 1998 with no issues.
- campinginthewooExplorerI park my TT on 2x12 treated lumber and my drive is gravel.....not sure if it makes a difference but it's nice coming home and I'm level when I park....:B
- gboppExplorerI have stored our 96 Southwind, tag axle, on gravel for several years.
No problems with the tires. The gravel drains and keeps the tires from sitting in water.
I don't put anything between the tires and the gravel.
