Having just bought our first Ocean, we're now thinking about mats and I know there are already endless threads on here about mats. However, my question is not just about which mats are worthwhile - I wanted to ask what people think about protecting the runners for the downstairs bed.
Do people find that over time dirt gets into the runners and causes a problem?
I was thinking of getting a removable mat or mats that would actually cover over the runners to protect them. However, if I look at all the threads on mats, it seems more common to have mats that are permanently stuck down and are cut around the runners.
We have specced the wood effect floor as I thought that, as well as looking nice, the smooth surface is also really easy to sweep clean regularly so it seems slightly silly to cover it all up with a mat. On the other hand, having started camping in the winter now, it's very cold! So I'
I thought a compromise would be the 2-piece campervan carpets mats where we could just pick one up to roll out the bed or bench drawer and could choose whether or not to have them in place in the summer. These would also go over and protect the runners. However, my other half is not convinced and thinks they will move around and it will be a pain to keep moving them. We have a portapotti permanently behind the drivers seat so it does make it difficult to know where to put the mat that you lift up.
