I am not even sure what these things are called, but I have seen many campers and caravans with a sort of cloth pegged down outside
the entrance under the awning. They seem to let sand fall through the mesh and they keep most of the dirt out of the camper.
Went into
BCF today to try to buy one and they don't sell them.
Can anyone advise which is the best type and where to buy them?
Cheers, Peter H

The stuff you are probably looking for is called annexe matting. Clark Rubber stock it, and (according to Dr Google) so do
BCF. There is also another product apparently designed to keep the dust down when helicopters land, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it is called.
Some people just use shade cloth and it seems to work fairly
well. It is also quite a lot cheaper than annexe matting.

we used 75% shade cloth(or there abouts) with our last van, but inherited a supposed proper mat with latest poptop. We also use ontop of that , in main traffic areas, the jigsaw rubber mats that majority of camping & multinational stores stock these days.

..... our mat is same width as annexe but extends roughly 4ft out the front, so most of the dirt etc doesnt make it into the annexe at all

Forgot to add it's expensive & very bulky, I bought one online & was shocked at the size of it, because of that I never used it, it's still sitting in the shed!
