Hello, having had a caravan and whipping up the carpets almost instantaenously, we did the same in our new M/H and our Mini Schnauzer slid over the flooring! He stood trembling and not moving for what seemed like the full weekend. Back down went the carpets! I have to say, I do prefer having them down - it makes it feel a bit more homely BUT of course, I now need a mat at the door to wipe feet on to get any excess dirt off before entering. I can't seme to find one that isn't too big - has anyone purchased one and if so, a link or photo would be GREAT!

Most big general stores sell rubber backed mats in varing sizes, got mine in a factory outlet and I have seen them in Wilkingsons and the Range. They are always on sale at any of the motorhome shows.

Unfortunately the ones I've seen in stores and on amazon are too big and we aren't near a M/H show. I wondered if Autotrail made them - I shall look

We bought the small rubber backed mat from a superstore and cut to the exact size with big scissors, made to measure!

I did the same as CnJ. Mine came from Asda and was very cheap.

I got a small mat and runner from a caravan dealer's shop, (Highbridge) 10% off with my CC card too. They are a bit narrower than some others on offer elsewhere.

We bought a rubber backed one from Ikea and cut it in half. Two for one!

Dunhelm, Aldi, most carpet stores sell mats. We have one of those dirt trapper ones at door of MH, none slip, waterproof, about 18 inches by 24 inches, so perfect size, or easy to cut down Cleans up in washer a treat as well. Dunhelm, £9.99. Other sizes available. Happy

My dog is not keen on uncarpeted floors either. I have lifted the carpets in the m/h and put down the rubber backed dirtrapper mats that can be washed in the machine, cut to fit.

We bought our pooch the doggy ones (available in most good pet stores) the type with paws on etc mainly to combat the mud and wet when needed but also works well when we do not have the carpets in. Not sure of the make but the longer ones run at about £24ish. We have a small one that fits the door instep perfectly then a matching runner for inside. Works perfectly for us and the pooch and easily thrown in the washing machine when needed too which is a bonus.
