Best driving barefoot when its hot,,BUSBY,,

Surely that's not legal anywhere?

Surely that's not legal anywhere?

If there is no law saying it's illegal then it is legal, is there such a law in the UK?

Edit, I will answer my own question

He's most likely sponsored by NIKE.

Anyone tried the mats that wrap around the electric step?

I think I've got them on our Hymer, on the double step when we got the MH, I was thinking of taking them off, cos the step don't shut fully !!!

He must be a good mate, do you have to pay him to do that?

I really can't understand all this taking carpets out, storing in lofts etc. Horses for courses I expect, but I didn't pay 10's of £1000's to put my carpets away so that I might get a few quid more when I sell on, or not get them dirty.

I brought my motorhome to be my home. I'm lucky as when they built my AT they put carpet across the entire floor and built on top of it. It might mean I can't lift them, nor do they slide about, but it's fantastic insulation and so much quieter than my friends AT who has those studded ones. Reduces rattles too. I do use some nice rugs, the ones they sell for caravans and motorhome, which come out, get beaten and hoovered.

No if mine do get dirty, like the time mum drops half a mug of tea on them, then I simply clean it with foam vanish and Hoover. Job done

I do drive barefoot, I find the accelerator and brake pedals quite close, so barefoot is best for me. If it's colder, I'll wear trainers

With two dogs, carpets are not a great idea. Ours are in the loft.

@PP Bear , I know what you're saying, but just got new motorhome and the carpet was too light (colour) and not the best of fits. So as someone suggested on here, I fitted carpet squares, It now looks a lot better and a darker colour. Horses for courses.

We too have the fitted ones and they are getting messy even with no dogs. We have rugs but they keep sliding about. I hate walking on lino at night.plus it's cold at night. Getting the hoover out is impossible with no electric and only a 300 watt inverter so on our knees every few days to sweep them. Well I say ours. ... His.
You might say you can run a hoover on a 300 watt inverter but we need the battery power for other things.

You cant run a vacuum cleaner capable of getting up collie hairs on a 300W inverter. Our Vax at home is 3KW and we have two of them in case the EU rules make them unavailable.

i usually put clear polythene sheeting down, but this unsettles some people when i ask them to stand in the middle of it

Go and get some carpet squares from Homebase at Approximately £2 each lay them out like a carpet run and cut in so as to wedge them so no moving around. Ya a bit of a faff but we're had them down all last year and still great and keep your feet warm from that other floor covering. As I put earlier in the thread we did not put these down in last van and floor was a real mess very quickly and always cold.

@Raybreck , It must have been you who advised the carpet squares, I did go for the £3.99 ones, but hey, there's choice. I'm really pleased with it and just bought some carpet tape to stop a couple of them moving.
