Re: Parking pad
Welcome Jim, I like and think what Nash is telling you is the best and cheapest way to go. But I am taking it one step further, get you a metal awning shed to protect it from the element. I don't know where you are, but a friend of mine got 12x21 installed for $595.00, but of course your would need to be bigger so the price would be more. Good luck and happy camping.

Re: Parking pad
I'm supprised no one has mentioned that you check your home owners assn & the city code , if you live in the city. Some will not let you park even on your own property ! I learned the hard way . It took 3yrs for the city to find me & that was after I spent over 4 grand. I almost moved to Alaska !!! Good Luck.

Go ahead (after checking with the POS POA) and install a service post with water, septic and electricity so your MIL can live outside your home. :clown:

Re: Parking pad
well I removed about 5 - 16 yard dump truck load of dirt when I dug out the hill on the side of my driveway. Once that was done I put up a stack stone wall, then I poured about 18 yards of concrete so I would have a place to park my MH. OH yes, I did have someone to say I could not do it. I kindly told them once they start making my house payment and paying the taxes, then at that time they could stop it from going in. Not a word has been said since then. I already had power ran out to it before I did the extra work. So mine is and has all ways been parked on concrete. I also in the winter put boards under the tires to get them out of the water and off the concrete. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Re: Parking pad
Good tips, thanks all.....can't wait to get on the road. While I'm asking things, anybody have any suggestions as to the best type of cover to get? I see lots of different kinds made out of different material. Any where from 250 to 500 dollars. What say you all? We're in Eastern Tennessee........lots of rain and heat. Thanks
