  • Advice needed Driving RV on grass to park

    Posted by gary on December 19, 2021 at 5:47 pm

    I recently purchased a Prevost marathon 2001 H3 double slide. It weighs approximately 50,000 pounds. My question is can you drive the RV on the grass if you put 4 x 8 three-quarter inch rubber pads 4 x 8′ long down and drive on top…?

    I recently had a lot of tree work done and there was a 60,000 pound 110 foot crane they drove on my grass with 4 x 8 three-quarter inch large rubber pads put down in front of the truck. It appears the grass and ground were well protected with no marks or impressions after they removed it. The crane was in the front yard on the rubber pads for at least eight hours

    Question is can I do the same for my Rv if I decide to occasionally park it in my back yard. .??

    thanks dr Gary

    If it worked for the crane, probably will work for the bus too.

    If you’re going to park on the property often, why not pour a concrete pad for the Coach and put in a shore power plug. Put a vapor barrier and crushed rock under the concrete pad.

    I would never park on grass for any length of time. Grass weeps moisture even when it appears to be dry. It will rust underneath almost as fast as salt. Geo.

    I agree with Geo. Same goes for storing trailer and cars. Concrete with a vapor barrier is the way to go.
