Sand

[RickA71]

Rolled into Laughlin, NV yesterday for a 3 month stay, I thought I was prepared for everything until I met the sand. I'm from Texas and used to sand but this sand seems to stick to everything here. We are sweeping twice a day at least. Is constant sweeping the only answer or do any of you with more experience have some tips?

Here on the west coast we do a lot of Beach and Desert camping.

The best mat that I have ever used for keeping sand at bay is one of
These

Check out the video.

Make a deck out of catwalk material the sand will drop through it

Take your shoes off when coming into your camper.

Baby power on your feet will keep sand from sticking if your barefoot. A patio mat really helps. A 5 gallon bucket of water next to the door outside, or a hose works. I've been in Florida on the gulf coast for 9 months and know what it's like.

Having a toy hauler every other day or so when camping I drop the door down and use my cordless leaf blower to clean out the trailer 😉

That's funny because I just told my wife I was going to go buy one.

We are tracking it in constantly. I don't know how to post pics on here but we have a trail of rugs from the truck to the camper. My problem is that I can't sit still so it's mostly me doing it.

I used to live and work at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
Sand was a fact of life. It gets pretty much everywhere. Lots of rugs and lots of foot wiping before entering, but it still gets in. Yes, sweeping and vacuuming is what's needed. Also shaking out those doormats every day.

Come on out to the California coast where it's also humid and you'll REALLY find out where sand sticks 🙂

Do you mean it gets tracked in or it gets blown in?
