Caravan DIY: tunnel boot addition!
One of the most annoying things about tunnel boots is that smooth hard floor — everything slides around, bangs into the sides, and anything wet just sits there. Tim fixed ours with a piece of marine grade carpet and it cost next to nothing. The key things he found: - Marine grade carpet is the right call — solid backing, handles moisture, pull it out to dry if something spills - He went with a neutral grey that comes in sizes wide enough to match the tunnel boot exactly, so minimal cutting - Measure twice, cut once (yes, the kids' chalk came in handy for marking the line) — and check your diagonals if you don't have a set square, because two equal diagonals means a square cut every time - The leftover carpet became a doorstep mat and a step mat, so very little waste Fitted like a glove. Genuinely one of those small mods that just makes the van feel more sorted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzWtGRLhvgY Curious what others have done with their tunnel boots — are you running carpet, rubber matting, something else? And has anything survived a proper wet-weather spill? PS do you like the thumbnail? hehe:)

Intro
Hey Margie — really enjoying scrolling through this group. I'm based in San Antonio, Texas. No big lap of my own on the horizon (caravanning is a completely different world than anything I've done), but I'm genuinely curious how it all works — the budgeting side especially. I run a small solo-travel community in the US, so watching how you two have built the planning/budgeting side of this is interesting to me from a totally different angle than most people probably read it. Following along to learn. Congrats on the growth so far — 315 members is no small thing.
