Park on grass? Wood? Concrete tiles?
We'll be leaving our MH and car hauler on a storage lot for various 4 week periods during this winter. All of this in southwest Florida. As the storage lots are in a grass area, I am considering parking the wheels on either wood planks or thick concrete tiles but unsure which would be best.
What would you do?

The soil in SW Florida (or anywhere in Florida) is all sand, so I wouldn't worry about parking it with nothing under the tires. It is going to be nice and dry under the tires, and no chemicals to leech either.
I live in Florida central and park my coach on the sandy soil several months a year.

I park our RV on plywood. Bought a sheet from a home center store. Rip it into 4 pieces and your good to go. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for your thoughts. Looks like wood is the way to go if anything at all so a trip to Home Depot is in the cards once down in Florida. Only a month away....damn time flies!

We use wood unless we have a concrete spot.

Personally, I would not be concerned if you are using it every four weeks or so but if it is a concern to you I agree wood is the choice. Your RV is a 2005 so if it has original tires I would think you need to be concerned about tire life and sidewall cracks.
