Consider going extra thick on the RV pad.  Like 12" thick with rebar along with the matt.  That pad will be around for a very long time and one has no notion as to what may be eventually parked there.

Yep ... A pit with power lighting and drainage?  How long is a semi?  Again, long term.  This is stretching things but how about a small safe space or bunker.  Now spending lots of money.  Good luck.

6-8" with a 4000 lb. or more mix should be plenty, after all, he's got plenty of sex rocks for fill.  :o Even Cliff will run out of money with you guys spending it for him. How about a deep well for an automatic sprinkler system in case a wildfire comes by?

LOL I am thinking about polishing the bed of Granite and calling it good ,I am going broke buying rock teeth for my Case 580M backhoe @ 2 sets a day

Guess that means the idea of digging a trench for the pit is out. Too bad, that would be way handy.

12" is a little much I think

We have 6" with rebar, have had over 96,000 lbs on it from one vehicle,  Number 4 bar at 16" or 24" centers for those who like tec specs

I don't exactly remember the spacing


6" is plenty IMO ???

Ditto on 6" slab. #5 rebar would help a lot.

It is not a work shop it is a insulated, air condition shop so I can park my Country Coach in when we are not using it with a 12 ft wide concrete pad to park outside too,The approach apron and 1st 10 feet of the building will be 7 inches thick the remainder will be 6 inches thick with # 4 rebar on 12 inch centers.I have a 80w x 100L x 24 H on the property I could convert to a  shop if I wanted to work  ;D and Scottsdale would stop messing with me plus I still have my place in Mohave Valley 40x60x18 .I bought this place sold it and to take it back this year or I would stay in Mohave Valley ( when it is cool that is )

Critical is compaction of ground before pour. My shop is 48 x60  Morton building. Roof pitch was increased for storage.15 foot ceiling, 12x12 doors. As long as I don't  get a newish Prevost, my 4905 fits nicely. 1" inch clearance above roof airs. Building has 9" insulation in walls and 12" in ceiling. Stays 72 to 73 in hottest part of summer. 32 in winter. If doors are kept closed.

Compaction is not a problem in this granite, I had to under cut the granite for a cushion, we go higher in AZ because of the heat rising
