        "text": "A standard four-inch residential garage slab is insufficient for large Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels, and heavy toy haulers. Most RV buildings require a concrete slab at least five to six inches thick, reinforced with rebar and poured with a higher compressive strength concrete mix. Heavily loaded axles create concentrated point loads that crack unreinforced concrete. Proper preparation includes a compacted aggregate sub-base, perimeter thickened footings, and specific apron design at the garage door threshold to handle repeated heavy vehicle transitions without spalling or fracturing.",
