Tom I don't use anything. I have parked all my coaches on concrete for years and never had a problem. I do however drive them every 30 days.

I don't used anything either. Just don't let it sit for a very long time in one place or you will get flat spots on the tires.

My slab is wrapped and it has always been dry regardless of the time of year. Even if I don't have a trip planned I drive it at least 25 miles each month. If I was NOT going to move the coach for several months I would put it on wood.

I have parked at least three motorhomes on the same concrete slab for months at a time with no flat spots or damage to the tires.
My Newell sat in the same spot for seven months. I run both engines about every two weeks.

I seem to be parking on dirt a lot lately, so not sure what to do.
