Why an RV pad is not a driveway
A motorhome puts far more weight on far less surface than a car. A slab built for cars can crack and settle under it, especially at the edges and where the wheels sit. Contractors commonly give four inches as the standard for cars and five to six inches with rebar for RVs and heavy trucks, with the reinforcement laid closer and sitting on chairs.
What the numbers show
- Walkway slab The thinnest; wire mesh or fiber is common for foot traffic.
- Car driveway slab Thicker, with a rebar grid on chairs; builders disagree on some middle cases.
- Heavy-vehicle slab The thickest, with more rebar for the heaviest loads.
Slope, gates and the side yard
Side yards are narrow, and narrow slabs have to do two jobs: carry the load and move water. The slab slopes away from the house, a channel drain may be needed where water would pond at a gate, and the gate swing, the meter and the air-conditioning unit are planned around. The property line and any easement are confirmed before the pour.
Rules that are not about concrete
Parking an RV or a trailer on a lot can be a city or association matter, separate from the slab. In a planned community the CC&Rs often cover where an RV may sit and whether a side-yard slab needs architectural review. The lease governs a rental. No page can answer for a particular address; the city and the association do.
What an RV pad typically costs in Rialto
For a 12 by 40 foot pad of 480 square feet, 5 to 6 inches thick with rebar, broom finish:
| Starting point | Per sq ft | 480 sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Bare ground | $9–$13.50 | $4,320–$6,480 |
| Old concrete removed | $11–$17 | $5,280–$8,160 |
A channel drain, extra grading for a slope, steps to a side door and sealer are options. Market estimates, not quotes.
RV Pads and Side-Yard Concrete — common questions
How thick should an RV pad be?
Five to six inches with rebar is the usual range for motorhomes and heavy trucks, against four inches for cars. The plan and the vehicle's weight decide; the thickness table on the home page gives the typical cases.
Can a side-yard slab drain toward the neighbor?
It should not. Runoff is sloped away from the house and kept off the neighbor's property, and a drain may be needed where water would pond.
