[Diesel-RVs] Re: Vapor Barriers Beneath Tires

I put down a 4' X 4' squares of 1/2" CDX plywood over a sheet of 10'
X 35' plastic weed mat so that tires rest on the plywood and weed
mat blocks insects and weed growth under coach.

Advantage: weight of coach causes a small bowel in the ground under
each wheel that retains a little standing water most of the time.
This puddle under the tires effectively blocks ants from crawling up
the tires. (Had ant problems before I tried this now none!)
Plywood keeps tires from tearing the plastic or sinking into ground.

Even if dry, the plywood soaks up insecticide and a good dose lasts
a long time to block insects during dry spells as crawling insects
have to crawl over several feet of plywood to get to tire and into
coach. I have our home insect control company spray the plywood
each time they spray the house.
