I have read the article on sub bases. I want to park a 3.5 ton motorhome on my drive using block paving. Am I right in thinking that the sub base depth should be 150mms? Thanks.

150mm minimum. What's the sub-grade like? If it's clayey, you might want to incorporate a geo-textile and/or increase the sub-base to 200mm

I will be talking to a contractor tomorrow. I will mention both these points to him. The sub-grade is clay. Thanks.

i might even be tempted to go for a rigid construction on this one
