Need help with leveling ideas for motorhome

Why tear it out.. just fill over the slab.

You could pour over the existing slab with regular concrete until you get to the thin ramped area. Anything less than 2" will pop but they do make a product that can be poured thin. It's expensive but won't just crumble like anything else.

If it were me I’d.. use landscaping blocks to build up my retaining wall and then back fill with gravel over the existing slab. Then pour a new slab meeting the existing drive.

That is too steep and in the wrong direction if yours is like mine.
You need the rear wheels contacting the ground or you don't have any braking at all!

Your manual will tell you not to completely lift it off all 4 tires. In fact, they expect you add blocks like you are discussing
so you have contact on all 4.

No it’s not.. you were tearing s*** out and adding time, materials and money to the poor clients bill!

Frankly
Don't do anything.
Chock all four tires and don't stress over it.
Have a beer, let's ride.

Could you use semi ramps like these or would they be bad on tires in the long run? HEAVY DUTY SEMI TRUCK SERVICE RAMPS - HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED

Yowza!! That seems to be the ticket. Not sure the boss will go for that and not sure how I'll get them, but it's worth investigating. Thanks Kilo!!

I think they'd be hard on tires if you left it there all the time, but really I'd need them for getting the slides out and running the fridge for a day to get ready for a trip. Then I could pull out and leave. Maybe even put plywood on them, cut to fit to keep the tires from getting between the rungs.

Yea I was going to say bolt some 3/4" plywood on top to help save tires. Make sure if you do its attached. I'd hate to see you go skidding off the other side.....

You could potentially even bolt them down to the concrete. They look to be the most cost effective solution thus far.

yeah could use some inset thread concrete anchors to keep it from moving around, just bolt it in when in use and take out bolts when done with minimal impact on appearance of driveway.

lol i didn't realize where they were made until I saw they are in imboden AR only about 1 hour away from me.

So, we got it levelish by turning across driveway. Fridge running and pulled smaller slide out and loaded. Put leveling jacks down to just touching to give it some support. I’ll make some better steps/ramps from 2x10’s later, but this is working!
