Being the owner of a cocker spaniel that always seems to be wet and muddy I know how you feel!!!

We have had loads of throws but they always seemed to snag or be full of hair and took ages to dry after washing, I bought a single quilt cover that matches the upholstery, split it down the middle to make two and hemmed them to neaten them up. They dont seem to hold hair as much and are quick and easy to dry

Similar problem having a king charles and beige seats - we got some cheap throws from Asda and have washed them after most trips, they are on their 4th year but was thinking we are ready for some new ones.
We also found it quite useful to keep a couple of puppy training mats in the van. We get the dog to paddle about a bit on it on the way into the van and it soaks the worst of the mud out of his paws - or if he is really wet make him lay on one for a while.

Dunhelm Mill shops do a nice fleecy throw thats quick drying for around £10, several colours to choose from including beige and chocolate, they are big enough to cover a standard 3 seater settee, and will easily cover the six foot front benches in a caravan, back rests and all!

They also do an online service if you cannot find the right colour in your local store.

fleecy throws keep hold of all the hairs which drive me dooolally !! store 21 do the polyester sort with the fury topside and fleece underneath - these work better for us with our hairy huskies :-)

Hi. The very cheapest fleecey throws from IKEA are useless as they grab every hair and hang onto them forever. But they're bigger, better blanket sized ones for about £10 are fab

looks like a 13 kgs is ok on CCCamp sites as the max is 15 kgs secured to the caravan and a short pipe in use.
