Can a cracked driveway be poured over or does it have to be chopped up

This was an extension we added to accommodate our Motorhome, which we no longer have. It looks awful, so I'd like to have it fixed.
yrs, this can be fixed and not chopped up. The cracks need to be opened up a bit more though. Then filler concrete and a new skim coat. It can easily be done. (And don’t be bullied into anything else!)
Looks like your motor home was heavy! Or the concrete was cheap. If it was me I'd have it broken up and re-poured (making sure your foundation is "well" packed down. You could do what Hope Williams is say, but trying to match concrete is pretty hard and it may even look worse.
This will help you ...

You can fill the cracks with quickcrete if it is cement. It comes in a tube for easy installation.
I did my driveway by myself. (65 year old female) used a product called tintcrete. It’s all in prep work. 1st fill in cracks and spoors than do a complete thin Coat. Still looks good 6 years later.

This sounds extremely interesting and promising to me. Clearly, you'll need something that not just completely fills the space but also a material that adheres to each other.

I have seen people asphalt over cracked concrete.
Hi Susan, you can fix those cracks, hope this helps you out.
You will need to clean out all the loose debris first.
