RV gravel drive - how to?

I need to put down a gravel drive and parking spot for my RV and I'm looking for suggestions. The soil on the property is hardpack sand.

Should I put down a 1" stone bed 4 - 6" deep and go back over that with 3/8" chips (or crusher run)? Should I just put down chips and leave it at that?

This drive will be used fairly infrequently, but will carry my truck ~7,700 lb and the 5er ~9,000 lb. dry.

Any suggestions?
