we have an awning on the side of our Bailey Ranger and the ground sheet we have is letting in water when the ground is wet or it has been raining. Can someone please recommend a good ground sheet. Thanks in advance.

We have bought 60x60 interlocking floor tiles from B&Q £9.00 for 6. Really look good, comfy light and stack away easy.

Look out for interlocking tiles in Aldi. Excellent value compared with other outlets. We find them most useful around door on nasty hardcore like HS, YRPark HS pitches are awful. 

OP, you need to check that the awning sides are not draining down onto the groundsheet. Neatest trick is to fold awning skirts inside awning, and then lay groundsheet onto this edging. That way water should run down sides onto grass etc... not onto your groundsheet. If it’s a breathable one, and the rain is very heavy, water soaking into ground may well make things soggy, even under your awning. Cue pallets.......

I am unashamedly a warm floor in the awning person when the site permits an ordinary groundsheet. To achieve that I first put down the standard grey groundsheet that you can purchase from any good Leisure shop and they come in various sizes then on go the interlocking tiles. It’s a warm floor  and a soft one too. I went to Softfloor for mine - they can be found on the internet. However, many sites now demand breathable groundsheets and for me, If I like a site, the site is more important than whether the awning has a groundsheet in it or not.

If on hardstanding, buy a waterproof groundsheet that is slightly larger than the awning footprint, after you have erected the awning, lay the ground sheet inside the awning. even better if it has an internal mudskirt. tuck the groundsheet under the mudskirt, then put your carpet on top. the water cant get in and under the carpet.
