Goooing to make somebody rich.
I been thinking or maybe it was dreaming, while wife drove.
Keeping grass, dirt etc out of the coach is sometimes a struggle. There's not enough room in the stairwell to sit down and take off the shoes etc.
I was thinking about a tube across the back of the stp or steps with holes or jets that would blast air across or through holes the step to knock grass and most junk off the shoes. A pressure switch or two switches would trigger it when pressure was put on the step, with a 3 second or so blast of air.
The pressure tank, that's already on the MHs might be big enough for two or three uses. There is a lot of room under there to put another tank and small compressor, if cost could be kept down. A simple tank and compressor in a sealed box with air fitting and wires and of course the air spray device. I got another one, of market baskets for pogo sticks too.

This is the exact same thing they used to have a Cyrtal Beach Park where you took your BEST girl and when she walked over it with her POODLE skirt on things got interesting

This could revive the art of girl watching - if skirts make a comeback.

An outdoor mat with heavy jute has been cleaning my boots off for 5 years FT. Simple, easy to use/store and cheap.

Hi All.

"No Thank You" Have yo put any thoughts at all, as to were all that dust and dirt is going to settle down to after you blow the bottom of your shoes or Boots off and the blown air resettles to ?. Bet some it will enter your Motorohme any ways. I don't think so. We think the Boot Brush or a Grass Type Out-Door Rug on the ground just before the steps will work better. We use an Out-Door Rug under our Awning, and a Grass Type Rug at the bottom of the steps, plus we remove our shoes before we go into the motorhme anyways. We also always have chairs under the Awning to sit on to remove our shoes. We wouldn't want anymore dust and dirt in the air than there already is. Why add to it ?Good Luck. Happy Travels.

I'm always looking for better ways to keep the dirt out of the MH. Currently, I take off my shoes at the front step and don't walk around the coach with them on. The kids are a different issue.

They run around outside with no shoes on or flip flops at best. Therefore, I put a flat bucket of water by the front door and ask them to wash off their feet before coming in. I put a towel on the inside steps so they can dry off their wet feet when they walk in.
