I just got back from our last trip of the year (probably) and parked the TT on its new gravel pad next to the house. It’s not a huge thing but it is a nice thing to have. Check it out! Have a great thanksgiving week everyone!Thanks!Jeremiah

Very nice and roomy.I also think that tires resting on gravel is much better than resting on soil.

What a nice setup. I would give anything to have my trailer parked at my house. Enjoy

I did something similar. Instead of a gravel pad, I got 4 3'x3' concrete paving blocks and embedded them in the ground so that they were all level relative to one another and spaced to match the camper's tires.A benefit of this is that I have a specific spot to aim for that positions my camper exactly where I want it, and more importantly, it results in a perfectly level placement. This is especially good when pre-cooling the refrigerator before a trip.

Mice are not as happy about running across a gravel parking area as they are grass so it will help keep the mice out of the camper too

Makes leveling automatic and when you get the tires onto the pavers, you know you don't need to back up any further.

It’s the little things! Gravel Pad for my TT!!

I do similar with the pavers. Bonus, less sinking into soft ground.

Depending on the gravel depth, it makes for better drainage away from the TT.

Trust me, this is actually very true.
