I use non-slip matting for absolutely everything.  Put on shelves, between plates etc, under the fan heater on the floor, under the carpets to reduce the amount they move, under anything left on the benches when travelling like our 'bit box' (actually one of the rectangular vanity cases) for all the bits and pieces we need to hand eg torch, umbrellas, keys, hand cleanser, etc.  Always have a roll to hand.

Even use it at home to put under grandaughters car seat to make sure it does not move as our seats are quite slippy.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

I use strips of the non slip matting and weave it between cups etc. Same as Jean i line all the shelves etc. Tea towels are scattered between larger items like pans etc.

Wine of course, is kept in my 4 pocket wine bag which hangs on back of the drivers seat, can't have that getting broken.

I buy the non slip in rolls quite cheaply and also use it under rugs etc.

Hi there,

We do very much the same as everyone else has suggested and tea towels and non slip matting are top of our list too! We also have learnt to pack things in a certain manner now so that rattles are kept to a bare minimum!

It’s all a learning curve Christopher and you will find that after a few journeys away you quickly come up with lots of ingenious little ideas of your own to combat those annoying creaks and clatters or maybe it’s just that we all get used to them?

Enjoy your new hobby and don’t forget to wave?

Sue

Hi

Thanks for the tips, keep them coming

Having been a caravaner for 30+ years it seems this motorhomeing is a whole new ball game!

If you run out of non-slip matting there's always kitchen roll

BTW, once everythings "matted down"  can anyone tell me what it is that sounds as if its rolling about every time you turn a corner
