Hi All,
I was thinking of moving my 26.5 MB, parked on a concrete driveway in my front yard, to pad of decomposed granite at my side yard. The driveway is needed as my kids are now driving and we are in need of the parking spaces. I have heard that storage over earth or permeable surfaces can be a problem as additional moisture leaving the earth can cause corrosion to the underside of the motorhome. Would not want that!! What do you think?
Thank you,
Matt

You live in a relatively dry climate, you should be OK.
Try to keep the decomposed granite from getting wet from sprinklers or other irrigation.
Look under the chassis occasionally, especially in the winter to see if any rust is forming.

"I was thinking of moving my 26.5 MB... to [a] pad of decomposed granite at my side yard".
I needed side yard parking for my 30' TT and so had a concrete drive installed from the sidewalk to the frontmost line of the house. I'm a cheap SOB and did not want the expense of another 30' of concrete and so left it as bare earth. It worked out okay for about ten years until I got my LD.
It was then that I finally capitulated and had a concrete pad constructed, 4" thick with rebar and proper drainage, leveled with a laser. Even had parking barriers installed to prevent colliding with the garden shed! :o ::)
