Hi All,
Anyone got any great ideas of what to use as some matting to put outside the caravan door under the awning? Just want something for when you are in sandy etc areas. Need something light weight that can be folded up to put in front boot.
We use indoor/outdoor carpet in our annexe when we go somewhere and set up for a week or 2 but dont want to cart this around touring.
Have seen a product at our local caravan dealership that is a bit like the grip mat you put in your cupboards but at $55 per metre means it would cost $220.00. Have thought about shade cloth and putting eyelets in the corners to peg it down.
Anyone use shade cloth or have you all come up with something else brilliant???
Cheers :-)

With our last 2 camper trailers and our current caravan, we have had made up to size and eyelets fitted to it for pegging out, and it works a treat.
My wife made the first one using her sewing machine and a mate has an eyelet punch, but when we bought the van we wanted a different colour so we bought the shade cloth and took it to an upholsterer who used an industrial sewing machine to make 1 piece to go on ground and 1 piece to go into the roll out awning. He then fitted reinforced eyelets to them for pegging down and only charged $60 for both.
For short breaks at
the beach especially in summer they are grat.

Typo error there, should read
"With our last 2 camper trailers and our current caravan, we have had shade cloth made up to size and eyelets fitted to it for pegging out, and it works a treat"
Bloody gremlins.
