We were using cheap runners and doormats for inside the caravan - having two water and mud loving spaniels it seemed for the best, but looked very untidy.

I thought of getting a carpet offfcut and some binding tape to make more fitted ones. I found a local carpet binding firm offering free carpet remnants if you pay for the binding.

Went in this morning, gave some measurements and chose a bit of durable carpet. Decided a template might help so came back and made a fully fitted paper template of the caravan floor.

Got a phone call at 5pm to say my two piece custom carpet with bound edges is ready for collection - total cost £59!! Happy

Well worth looking for a local carpet binder/whipper - seems a great deal to me.

4 trips out and our dog has turned the carpet into a mess, so we are looking to get a spare so we can shampoo and alternate them.

Our dog knows it's place, never on the beds, on the couch when we can't see him etc etc. Problem is, in the caravan the couch turns into a bed, so in the middle of the night, he, as anyone else would do, is fed up with a hard floor, and want to have some of that nice cosy couch, that is now a bed.

Waking up with a dog who has pinched all the duvet is not fun, particularly as he is a Lab Retriever, and weighs 40kg.
