Depth for an RV pad
Plan on at least 6 inches of compacted stone. Heavier motorhomes, wet sites or soft soil call for 8 to 12 inches. Fabric under the stone stops it from pumping into the mud over time.

Size and access
Measure your rig with slides out and add a few feet. At 14 feet wide, check that slide-outs and the awning clear. Leave a turning area at the entry.
Drainage
Crown the pad or slope it slightly so rain runs off rather than collecting under the rig. Keep the top an inch or two above surrounding grade.
Ordering and delivery
If you haul it yourself, a typical half-ton pickup should carry only about half a cubic yard of stone, well under what the bed looks like it can hold. Crusher run mixes stone and stone dust, so it packs nearly solid when compacted in layers. The scale ticket is the real weight; tons per yard here is a planning figure.
