At home I used crushed concrete gravel to make two 5x10' pads that support the front and back wheels and jacks. It was much cheaper than concrete and 4 yds of gravel was less than $200 delivered. Next to my concrete driveway I dug out the sod and shoveled the gravel myself. No worries about cracking or settling. A few shovel loads will relevel whenever needed. I used free oak mulch from a tree service between the two gravel pads so the coach wouldn't sink into mud if it happened to rain hard just before I was leaving or returning. Nothing fancy but it works just fine. Total length of the mulch and gravel is about 50'. Rain perks thru both the mulch and gravel. No mud and no puddles.
x2. The gravel pad is easy, and cheap. It does not heave or crack from freezing and is easily repaired when a spot settles. It's also easy to remove if you no longer need it or want to change the location.
I park our Southwind on gravel, it works great.
But, it doesn't look as nice as concrete. JMO
