Bus Parking Pad

The base itself is pretty solid. 

Compaction can be tested properly for very little dollars...a plate compactor can be rented now and ran for a few hours prior to deposit....and it will tell you in minutes what it really is....pre delivery compaction will rreveal what you better know....and your going to need it any way, ask them how long their compactor will be on site....20 minutes or 2 hours.

How much water are they using to compact pre and post delivery ?

Yeah, about twice as much.

Here is another thought, concrete all you want, the more the better of course,  BUT stop all concrete at the rear  axle. I used to own  land in Md, and one day the starter went out, just as I tried to move it to get ready for a trip. That was in our 05 Eagle, now there is no way  my belly would fit nunder that coach,  SO  I dug a hole under the rear below the engine, I slid in the hole unbolted the starter and my wife slid a plank down to me from above, I rolled the starter onto the plank and she pulled it up the plank like a ramp,   Re installed the new one the same only in reverse of course, pulled the bus front and backfilled the hole.  Thats one way, emergency PIT..

That was kind of my original thought, but now I am just covering the whole thing with the asphalt millings.  I do have 2 air compressors one that stays on the bus, so I can air it up without a problem, then jack it the rest of the way if need be.  But actually, the way it will be setup, I would only have to roll the bus back a few feet to be able to dig as well.

This is what the parking area looked like before it was packed down.  The 20 tons was way more than needed, but now I have a really thick parking area and not so much of a step down from my music studio.  Don't think weeds are going to grow up through that.
