Since most pitches are grass, and dog paws act as a magnet for it, has anyone any tips for something to put on top of the carpet that can be easily shaken but which

a) doesn't creep or runkle
b) goes under the lower cupboard doors / fridge door and doesn't get tangled in them grrrr!

Look forward to hearing your suggestions since this forum is a veritable oracle of wisdom !

Its just S.W.M.B.O insists I hoover the damn thing out when we return from outings :O(

I bought some of that plastic matting (from Homebase £9.99 a roll, bought 2 rolls) with the plastic 'spikes' underneath which stops it from moving about.  The matting runs the length of our van (no cutting to fit required) and another piece across the back (just some minor fitting) so it's a T shape, if you understand what I mean.  It can be swept easily when you're out in the van and, when we get back home, comes out easily so we can hoover - yes, we do like to do this and keep the van clean!

We have 3 dogs and I fitted this matting at the beginning of this season and it has made a huge difference.  It certainly works for us.

I have done exactly the same thing as Jazzycats. The site I go to tends to get quite muddy and the vinyl runner means that I don't have to worry about traipsing mud inside. It's very easy to sweep or mop out though it can be a little noisy from the dogs claws when they walk up and down it at night (my dogs sleep under the bed at night)

Thanks Jazzycat and Harpmaker I'll give that a whirl. Any idea how I can convince S.W.M.B.O to use the hoover??
