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.
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:)
