I'm not sure what a typical asphalt driveway should support, but this
RV weighed in over 12,000lb when loaded. It would sit in the same spot
for months at a time, and during the warm summer months, the tires and
front stand sunk into the asphalt and left indentations of 2-3 inches.
Of course, every time it was parked, it was in a slightly different
spot; so there is a rolling effect across the back of the driveway.
You would have thought after the first time, the tenant would have put
some 2x12 boards on the asphalt to spread the weight and not cause
additional damage. That's what I would have done.
