I just got back from our last trip of the year (probably) and parked the TT on its new gravel pad next to the house. It’s not a huge thing but it is a nice thing to have. Check it out!

Very nice and roomy.
I also think that tires resting on gravel is much better than resting on soil.

What a nice setup. I would give anything to have my trailer parked at my house. Enjoy

I did something similar. Instead of a gravel pad, I got 4 3'x3' concrete paving blocks and embedded them in the ground so that they were all level relative to one another and spaced to match the camper's tires.

A benefit of this is that I have a specific spot to aim for that positions my camper exactly where I want it, and more importantly, it results in a perfectly level placement. This is especially good when pre-cooling the refrigerator before a trip.

Mice are not as happy about running across a gravel parking area as they are grass so it will help keep the mice out of the camper too

I did the same thing (and also a paving block for the front post). Makes leveling automatic and when you get the tires onto the pavers, you know you don't need to back up any further.

I do similar with the pavers. Bonus, less sinking into soft ground.
Depending on the gravel depth, it makes for better drainage away from the TT.
