Try camping at a beach. You'll get it.
Have for years, no issue.
A door mat and a boot tray. Put a half inch of water in the boot tray next to the door mat. Step into the water, sand drops off immediately, wipe your clean wet feet or shoes on the mat.
Best of all, mat stay clean too.

Like I said camped the whole Baja peninsula and it's nothing but sand, camped on beach at Sea of Cortez and the Pacific ocean, door mat was all that's needed, even the dog shakes off before entering the rig.

I don't put my mat on grass, but I hate grass. Kids and dog track the mowed grass in, a constant battle. Plus when its wet with dew in the morning my sneakers end up soggy.

Wow, it just amazes me the trivial stuff that bugs people. When your RV is on a grass site, the grass under it gets no sunlight and little to no water. Does the grass die under your RV?

I always wondered what market the owners of parks that are nothing but gravel and dirt parking lots were chasing. Now I know.

That must be some super super grass.

Addy15 wrote:Well, we were on a grass site last week and I thought the same thing; no need for the mat. Maybe they had just mowed the grass there or something, but I started getting big clumps of grass coming in on the bottom of the shoes. Yep, the mat went out right away...
We were there three days; the grass underneath the mat was fine when we left.
That must be some super super grass.

I'd be grateful if you were to take your own advice, but you can't have everything. DB.

Do you mean there is a way to correct for when I post the same thing twice?
