We have a mat inside when it is wet and also take the toilet tent if we don't have the awning as it gives you somewhere to put coats to drip

We used to find it difficult in bad wather in our camper when the weather was bad, without the awning up.  I'd remove the carpet if you are able, and put muddy shoes in a crate under the unit.  The upturned welly idea is great, but they are pricy when their use is limited and you still have growing feet.  I also have a communal pair of welly clogs (cheers Cas), for trapsing to the loo/bins etc.

We used our 'rollapath' for the first time last week outside the awning, and it was worth its weight in gold.  We were on hardstanding with a grass awning pitch, not our choice.  This is another reason we bought a porch awning, great for shoes/coats etc.

We have used a couple of the useful suggestions on here but a big thanks to JanP who has just woken us up.

We have a toilet tent that we were looking to sell having a built in toilet with our FC - but we never gave that idea a thought.  Brilliant that will be used from now on - thanks JanP.

The toilet tent is a great idea!  We weren't going to get a toilet tent as we are getting a Pathfinder (who needs a loo 'down the corridor' when you've got en-suite!), but have added one to my camping shopping list so that we will have somewhere to coats to drip when then beast of an awning is in its bag (which it will be for normal week-ends - I can't see us fighting with that quanity of canvas for a couple of nights!!)

Happy camping (Earls Court TOMORROW!!!!)

The storage area under the camper is not high enough for coats. We have one of those three legged mini whirli gigs driers for coats and that fits in the toilet tent. We find the awning takes a while to put up and at least if the toilet tent is wet it is easy to put up in the garden and dry off so we have only used the awning when away for 5 days or so the rest of the time we use the underbed skirts and toilet tent
