Hi,

Had our first Motorhome (Benimar Tessoro 413) for a month now and loving it.

Just wondering do we need grip mats and are they any good? We intend to use hardstanding wherever possible but appreciate that there may be the odd occassion when hardstanding is not available so will have to use grass pitches. Hear people say they are pointless and don't work when you really need them.

Would love advice from people with actual experiance.

 Hard Standings are not always the answer, I got caught at the delightful Old Hartley Site. The hard stands there were concrete rectangles but set into the grass so as I came off the H/S I was not doing enough speed to avoid an immediate settling into the green and soggy embarassed.  Fortunately the ( excellent ) warden had some stiff rectangular heavy duty rubber mats and, with a short pull from a mowing machine or similar I was straight off onto the road. Bought a set of the "ladders" such as PeeDee posted asap --  practised with them & they are very good BUT Mr Sod's law applied~~ not been needed since !!
