What Is an Asphalt RV Pad?

An asphalt RV pad is a designated paved area designed to handle the weight and size of recreational vehicles. Unlike temporary solutions like gravel or compacted dirt, an asphalt pad provides a smooth, clean, and structurally sound surface that prevents sinking, rutting, and uneven settling.

RV pads can be installed in:

  • Driveways
  • Side yards
  • Backyards
  • Dedicated parking areas
  • Vacation properties

They’re ideal for motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and even boat trailers or cargo vans.

Why Choose Asphalt for Your RV Pad?

Asphalt is one of the best materials for RV parking—and for good reason:
Load-bearing strength: Properly constructed asphalt pads easily support the heavy weight of RVs without cracking or shifting.

  • Smooth surface: Keeps tires protected and makes loading/unloading easier.
  • Weather resistance: Asphalt flexes with temperature changes and handles rain and freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete.
  • Clean appearance: Adds to your property value and avoids the mess of dirt or gravel.
  • Cost-effective: Asphalt typically costs less to install and maintain than concrete.

At William Stanley & Sons, we use commercial-grade asphalt mixes and industry-proven techniques to ensure your pad stays solid for years.

How Thick Should an RV Pad Be?

This is one of the most common questions we get—and it’s important. A typical driveway might not cut it when you’re parking a 30-foot motorhome. For RV pads, we recommend:

  • 4–6 inches of compacted asphalt, depending on vehicle weight
  • A solid, well-drained gravel base underneath
  • Optional edging or curbing for added structure and visual appeal

We tailor every installation to the specific RV type, ground conditions, and property layout.

What’s the Installation Process for an Asphalt RV Pad?

We follow a proven process to make sure your RV pad is strong, level, and built for long-term use:

Consultation & Estimate – We visit your site, discuss your needs, and provide a detailed quote.
Excavation & Grading – We remove vegetation or old materials and grade the area for proper drainage.
Base Prep – We install a crushed rock base to support the asphalt and prevent sinking.
Asphalt Paving – Hot mix asphalt is laid, leveled, and compacted using commercial equipment.
Curing & Final Walkthrough – We let the surface cool and cure before doing a final inspection with you.

You can typically park on the pad within 24–48 hours, depending on weather conditions.

Can an Asphalt RV Pad Be Added to an Existing Driveway?

Yes—this is a common request. If you already have an asphalt driveway, we can often:

  • Extend it to create a dedicated RV parking area
  • Widen one side to accommodate your RV
  • Add a spur or turnout for seasonal use

We match materials and grades to ensure a seamless look and strong structural integrity.

How Do I Maintain My Asphalt RV Pad?

Maintenance is minimal, but important:

  • Sealcoat every 3–5 years to protect against water and sun damage
  • Keep the pad clean of oil drips and debris
  • Avoid turning large RV tires in place (especially when parked)
  • Watch for signs of settling or cracks, especially near the edges

William Stanley & Sons offers maintenance services, including sealcoating and minor repairs, to help extend the life of your pad.

FAQs About Asphalt RV Pads

Can asphalt really handle the weight of a large RV?

Yes. With the proper base and asphalt thickness, your pad can easily support even large Class A motorhomes.

How much space should I allow for an RV pad?

It depends on your RV size, but most pads are at least 10 feet wide by 25–40 feet long. We can customize to fit your vehicle and available yard space.

Is it cheaper than a concrete pad?

Absolutely. Asphalt is typically less expensive to install and maintain, especially for larger areas.

Can I use the pad for other vehicles or equipment?

Definitely. Asphalt pads are great for boats, trailers, work trucks, and general utility parking.

What if my RV pad needs repair later on?

No problem. We offer asphalt patching, crack repair, and sealcoating services to keep it looking and performing like new.
