I wouldn't say an awning is a must for dog owners at all - we have 2 dogs and no awning !

 I agree though it would make life easier - apart from putting the damned things up and down - not an easy job if you have mobility problems (me) or are vertically challenged (wife). We are going to get one but it won't get erected if it's nasty weather at the time.

At the moment we manage ok by putting throws (tucked in) on the seats, as it's all very well telling them not to jump up, but not all dogs are angels who always do as they are told ! If they're very dirty they are towelled off outside or put in the back of the motor for a bit.

We use throws for the seats and bought some cheapish beach towels which we put on the floor. Just shake them when they get tramped in muck and put them down again.

Saves a lot of hoovering.

Pop them in the washer when we return home.

Yep we do that too ! Also have some of that squidgy non-slip stuff that comes on a roll (you know to stop rugs moving about etc) which works better for that than it does to stop the rugs walking about on the carpet.

As soon as I finish the 101 other jobs stacked up I'm also ripping up the caravan carpet & will put down vinyl or laminate flooring.

So you have better carpets than me and a better wife ... maybe I should try for a trade-in ?

(joking honest)  better say that in case she ever looks on here ...

I love dogs but they stink and moult, and I'm allergenic and obsessed with cleanliness so I admire everyones else's, instead of having my own. If we tried to get a dog in our caravan we would all get stuck it's that small.

I petted a gorgeous lab the other day only to be left with hairs all over my legs, sneezing and my hands smelt like Ghandi's sandals.
