I use a peice of industrial carpet, the kind you see as "runners" laid out
in stores...rubber-backed... I often leave it on top of my rear bed to keep
the dog mess down.. especially when they are wet.  When I camp it slips
under the cushion. The rubber backing keeps it dry and doesn't pick up
sand...
