It certainly looks like it will get the job done

Recycling of waste tire rubber in asphalt and portland cement concrete: An overview
The rubberized asphalt mixtures also have shown good compatibility with two widely used sustainability technologies in asphalt paving industry – reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and warm-mix asphalt (WMA). In comparison with its use in asphalt paving mixtures, recycling of waste rubber in Portland cement concrete has not been so successful due to two factors: (1) incompatibility in chemical property between rubber and cement paste and (2) the significant difference in stiffness resulting in stress concentrations. Various methods have been proposed to overcome the barriers to improve the performance of rubberized portland cement concrete, some of which have shown to be promising.

Thanks everyone for commenting. Code wise from what I found out there is not an issue unless a neighbor complains. I went to my neighbors and talked to them about what I wanted to do and they were all good with it so I am confident all will be good. I am really glad it almost done, I plan on going out this weekend to get the concrete I need and two more 6' fence posts to finish the front chain link fencing and gates.

As for the rubber tires on concrete issue that is blasting around this thread is concerned....I am going to get a couple of 2X10's to lay out to separate the tires from the crushed concrete. That should take care of that.

How is that anchored to the ground? I like the look of that and install seems quick. Not sure if it would be snow rated for where I live but it looks good. Thanks for sharing.

You might take a look at hard outdoor rubber mats. This is one source but I'm sure there are many others.

There were two options:

1. Cork screw in anchors to the tune of $250 or:

2. 2' long rebar stakes - price FREE.

PDXDave, another good source for sturdy rubber mats is Tractor Supply or any large feed or ranch supply store. The mats are used in horse stalls, etc and come in various sizes. Your RV's new "home" looks great!

Gordon,
My comment was sort of tongue-in-cheek, not serious.
And I find it intriguing that someone would actually expect mixing waste rubber into cement would be beneficial, unless looking for softer cement...
Lot of advancements in Portland mixes over the years, but don't think adding asphalt is going in the right direction.
Joe

Hi Joe;
Recognized the comment was not serious and actually chuckled. But there were a lot of comments about driving on concrete so how can parking on concrete be bad. Driving on concrete the entire tire is affected the same way. Parking on concrete has one section that is subjected to the adverse affects.

While it may not make much difference it is very easy (and cheap) to take preventive action and avoid the potential problem rather than having to deal with it.

Nice looking area. My parking area is 110' from the house, so I just run a garden hose out to the trailer, along with a cable for the television. It works just fine, I just have to reel them in to the side of the house before I mow. The City Sewage Treatment Plant lets residence empty our grey and black tanks for free, so if we use the trailer in the yard, I just run it over there to empty it.
I park on my driveway, and built a 12'X16' deck, with a fireplace that we use pretty regularly during the summer. I just run a 20 amp service from the house to the trailer, unless I want A/C, then we use a generator. I'd love the money for a cover, but can't swing that. You have a good looking set up though, good work.

Thanks! It's only missing the front gates and it will be done. The weather turned around on us and is slowing things down just a little bit but I will have the rest of the gates and fencing up before too long.
