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!

We use a small "Turtle Mat" which some friends bought as a gift the sailing boat we used to have.  So non slip it used to sit at the bottom of the companionway for in all sorts of sea ways!

I bought 1 mat and cut it in half to fit the lowered door step, I also use an old towel over the carpet as you enter the van proper, when its bad weather. I started doing this when we had a dog and have carried it on as the towel doesn't 'travel' like rugs do and its easy to lift and wash.

Thanks all...really helpful. After measuring we realised that without ordering some bespoke ("I saw you coming and hiked up the price") mat that we would just be better off cutting one to meaure. So ebay was our friend and £5.99 later, the job's a good un
