Awning carpet

Posted on 09/07/2021 19:58 by margaret cleveland

For the first time ever, we have been asked not to have a carpet (even a breathable one) in our awning. Surely, a little area of discoloured grass is part for the course for site owners. Any thoughts?

I suppose it’s all to do with the look of the grass perhaps?   The groundsheet issue is just one of the reasons we will hardly ever use a grass pitch as I don’t like damp grass being trodden into the caravan. I honestly could not be doing with lifting the awning carpet every day or two!!   If we can’t get a hardstanding pitch, on a CL for instance, we don’t use the awning at all just a canopy.

Have you tried removing your outdoor shoes when you enter the caravan?

You have my sympathy   There seems to be a difference of opinion about what the purpose  of a site I.e is it for the benefit  of the paying customer  or the owner.  With a little care short term discoloration of a patch of grass should be easily  recovered and as someone who dislikes awnings without  carpet   idont  regard it as unreasonable to put something  down

I would not want to use a pitch where the grass is discoloured so it is for the benefit of the customer!
