a gas powered leaf blower?

I was driving down El Portal here in San Clemente about a week ago and saw a guy doing exactly that!!!:lol:
All 4 doors and the hatchback open and he's standing there blastin' away with the blower. I laughed all the way home....

He must have been beach camping :yes:

OK, time to get serious: Jim, since you have a new girlfriend, waste no time in training her to clean and clean and clean the camper.:o:o:o:o:o

Been nice knowing you.:lol::lol:

I have some copy-cat Astro-Turf door mats that have holes through the bottom for outside the camper. When you pick them up the sand just poors through them so they are really easy to clean. Inside my camper, just inside the door, I use the real Astro-Turf mats that have a solid bottom. 90% of all sand that gets inside ends up in the Astroturf mat and it is really easy to pick up and take outside and shake off. It's an idea that really works. Astro-Turf mats are great!! The copy-cat Astro-Turf mats also work well to stand on when showering outside.

Rich, are your outside models commercially available or did you fabricate from the inside type?

I bought one at Home Depot several years ago, the other I purchased in Baja, I believe in LaPaz. They are both different, but knock-offs of Astro-Turf.

Jim not trying to be a wise ass but he only way to keep something clean on a camping trip is to leave it home ,just waittill you have a inch of sand and give it a clean sweep and clean it good when you get home and have acess to a shop vac

Just dealing with LOTS of sand myself - BUT in a house,living in the desert in a house makes you feel you live in a CAMPER.
YOU have to get used to it, that the sand is EVERYWHERE.
And yes SHARKS - it can be a pain in the .....neck, if you find it also there, believe me!!:lol:
