Mel B Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was having a look through the Betterware catalogue that plopped through my letterbox the other day and noticed these for sale: http://www.betterware.co.uk/non-skid...twin-pack.html Not sure how good they would be for a motorhome, maybe for smaller/lighter ones?

kelly58 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Bread Tray's work for me and the only time I never used them I got bogged down all my own fault as it was lashing it down and I could not be bothered as I would have got soaked .!!

colin Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Mel your link doesn't seem to work for some reason. Lets see if this is any better. http://www.betterware.co.uk/non-skid-mats-twin-pack.html p.s. I saw some in screwfix t'other day, they don't look very grippy to me but does state 'bears 3.5t' http://www.screwfix.com/p/automobile-escaper-tracks/70867# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Mel, they look really good, and not too expensive at £10.00 a pair either, like others I always carry a set of 4 'cut-down' bread trays, but they are a bit 'Square' and take up a fair bit of space in the back box. So, next time the betterware lady calls around, she will be onto a sale ! ;-) Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 But as Mel says probably not much good for a MH as they are only 6" wide and 21 1/2 " long. They would literally disappear under many MH wheels. And the ones from Screwfix are only fractionally larger but, as Colin says, are rated for 3.5T. Although I assume that will be Max vehicle weight and not axle weight :'( Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There are plenty of alternative products on the market, including these: http://www.johnscross.co.uk/products/Fiamma-Wheel-Anti-Slip-Grip-Mats.html http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/caravan_accessories/product_36268/Milenco_Grip_Mat.aspx?aff=122 http://www.smartoutdoors.biz/prod_gripmats.html For the average motorhome I think one would be better off with a 'solid' one-piece grip-mat rather than a two-piece perforated version. I'd probably opt for the Milenco product as it's cheap enough and (if it's manufactured to the quality of my Milenco levelling-blocks) will be pretty sturdy.

pepe63xnotuse Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We've used these for a while now.. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Ground+Drainage/Ground+Guard+Single+Tile/d10/sd3226/p94411 ..although are they are on the bulky side.... (..we didn't have much success with those yellow Fiamma mats..other than just using them to park on initially...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedee Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Then there is Grip track which I have used for the past ten years. My set didn't come with a hammer and gloves and was considerably cheaper. The main advantage is easy storage. http://www.griptrack.co.uk/ peedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 We did look at those tracks Peedee(..due to their ease of storage)..but the 50odd quid,put us off... I did noticed that Towsure sell a cheaper version.... http://www.towsure.com/product/Grip_King_Anti_Slip_Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Depends what you want the product to do... "Grip Track" is marketed as a means to allow a vehicle to gain traction when it has initiially proven impossible to move off a slippery surface. It's not cheap and there have been negative as well as positive comments regarding its effectiveness. http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftoptitle-55609-goclaws-or-griptrack.html "Grip King" (pepe63 beat me to it!) seems to be similar in principle. http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/pyramid_grip_king__3106?utm_source=google&utm_medium=merchant The other products mentioned above are cheaper (or even free if one can source redundant bread trays), but they are really intended for prevention not cure.
