When at home base, we park on a concrete drive in a rural commercial/industrial/storage park where we rent an office/garage (40'x40') with water/sewer and 200amp electric. We full-time. I do repairs/maintenance on RV and toad there. Son parks there year-round in our older RV.
My concern, when parking semi-long term, is protection under the RV. Moisture from ground/gravel can and will deteriorate the underside. I place a tarp (or 2) under the full length of the rv, if I end up on ground/gravel.
We are from the mid-west (rust belt) and moisture is a big issue.

I park on either a Concrete driveway at home or on the concrete floor at our Storage garage (Individual 48'x14' garage in a commercial RV storage facility). I am nit aware of the concrete tire attack issue. Can someone please direct me to a discussion on that or give me a quick summary? We have had our 2005 MH for a year and have put 12,000 miles on her traveling around, don't know if that matters. We are out camping at least once every month for at least a weekend (or longer).
BTW, your pad construction is looking good!

Parking on concrete is not a problem for tires.

Progressing slowly. Old tree stump set us back a bit. But it is now removed and pushing forward.

Concrete pad at home 50 x 14 6" with mesh and rebar. Use stall mats under tires because concrete is fairly new.

Yes it is. Moisture migrates from the concrete year round traveling up around the tires creating dry rot. Moisture is harder on the rubber than the sun.
A nonporous pad like a plastic placemat or cutting board or galvanized or aluminum metal roof flashing like you get at the local lumber/ hardware store is ideal to stop the moisture from migrating up around the tires.

The pics below show the storage area we rent when it's not parked in front of the house coming or going 
Since it slopes toward the front a bit, I used 2x10x10' treated boards for 'runners' for the front that has my 'stop blocks' nailed in and levels it out a bit...
As far as Asphalt ? the last pic is just me turning onto the road in the texas heat that's indentations from ONE pass
