Concrete Extension to Camper Pad


Like I said in the other post Scott and I didn't think this camper pad through all the way when we built. We had them make the camper pad the exact width of the camper and then thought that the length of the third car garage would be long enough for the camper to sit on. Well no such luck. Our camper hung off about three feet so the stabilizer jacks were in the dirt instead of being on the cement. So we hired a concrete company to come and help us out. The guy was really nice and Scott liked him and knew right away we were going to use him. He told us we could actually take the cement all the way to the house and could enclose in the gas meter. I thought it looked dumb just being there in dirt but Scott thought it was against code. So Roger(the concrete contractor) said sure I can pour cement in that corner and you won't have to worry about weeds growing up in there. He also said that the foot we left in between the house and the camper pad(left there because we knew we had to put a fence post in there for the gate) he would fill in with cement and make it all nice looking. He also rebuilt the side of the camper pad where we had started to have erosion happening. So after having to keep the camper on the street for 5 days we put it back in its spot and it just makes that whole area look so much better. We are totally happy with it.
