We have one now but it was years ago when we put it in. I do remember they used re bar to. How long do you have to wait till you can drive your coach on it . I have a Winnebago Sightseer with 22.5 tires.

Concrete has to have time to cure. Longer the better. bluwtr49 • View posts Green Valley, AZ Senior Member Joined: 09/12/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/16/12 07:01am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator When I was lookiing at a concrete slab, I also was told 30 days. Finally ended up using railroad ties instead. $400.00 total and 1 day.

Concrete Guy said for the cars on the pad wait five days but due to the weight of the coach he stressed waiting 28 days for a full cure of the material. 2006 Hurricane 31D aka 'Moby' the Whale FCC(SW) US Navy Retired 1980-2003 Stella my Navigator Bogart the All American RV Dog and Cocoui waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge imgoin4it • View posts Alamogordo, NM USA Senior Member Joined: 10/25/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 04/16/12 06:53am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Concrete is considered to be at 50% strength after curing 7 days and 100 % in 30 days.

Slab in 4-5 in", and uses wire mesh and fiber. Concrete company said to wait 7 to 21 days, but our company rep who installed the slab, saw the gasser, and was back at the slab every 1 to 2 days after completion gave us the ok after 10 days. He did mention "the longer, the stronger" rule, but said that we should be ok. Parked on it last Friday (10 days), and all has been well. 2013 Winnebago Vista 35B halibutman214 • View posts Oregon Senior Member Joined: 09/06/2009 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/16/12 07:41am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I don't care what anyone else does. I've been doing this for a LONG time and as much as concrete costs wait the 28 days before you park on it. Also be aware that many slabs now do not have rebar. As was mentioned they put fiber in the concrete. Ground prep is crucial however. 2008 Dodge Ram 6.7 Laramie SRW SB 2012 Keystone Passport 26BHWE 2009 Lance 830 with Tent foldout 20' North River Seahawk Boat 2005 Honda VTX1300 sd1209 • View posts elko Senior Member Joined: 09/16/2009 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/16/12 09:13am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Just to add to what others have said---- Poured 31 cu yds of new driveway and RV pad April 3rd....Concrete guy said give it 7 days for a car and the full 30 days for the MH (approx 20K lbs).....Too much money involved for me to push it and try to put the MH on it early.....
