outdoor rugs
Who uses them and how do you clean them - how often? I bought an 8x20 to go under the awning. A friend had one and i liked it but now husband not so much. He is concerned how to store and clean.

- I got mine from LOWES... 9X12 Outside patio rugs... Easy cleanup with water hose... Around $50 I think...
I use them till they start looking bad and faded them move them to the wood pile to cover up my wood and go get another one...
Always like sitting around on the rugs with the lawn chairs swapping lies with folks... We used to put these inside our tent floor too back in the day. Perfect fit...
think I still have a picture on here inside out tent... Already payed my dues sleeping on the ground in a bedroll in the AZ high country back in my JEEP TRAIL days.... The bottom rignt hand corner is one of those raised beds that OZARK TRAILS used to have where you slipped in a air mattress. That got us off the floors sleeping big time.
We all looked something like this heading out somewhere back then...
Those were the days indeed

Good grief...spilled your bowl of Cheerios this morning did you?- We went and bought indoor outdoor green carpet scraps from a carpet place. They role up and we sweep them off. Shake them every once in a while.

I have a 9' x 12' patio mat that I purchased at Walmart for less than $50. It's made of woven polypropylene that's easy to clean and folds up into a compact package. You'll find it in the RV section.
We picked up one of these when we bough the TT. It was on clearance at the time for $25-$30, so I figured why not. DW is always trying to put it out wherever we go, but I don't care for it all that much. It is nice if all you have is a bunch of dirt/sand around you. Most places we've been to though just don't need it since FHU sites seem to have pads or good grassy areas.- I have a 9' x 12' patio mat that I purchased at Walmart for less than $50.

- We dont use them, we find them unnecessary, and yes its just another nuisance to clean fold and stash. If you need a rug under your feet...stay home.
- We like the woven poly prop. material style rugs. Easy to roll, dry quickly and easy to clean.
We found that a huge 8x20 foot size is just too big to handle and deal with.
We go with smaller sizes and don't care if it completely covers the area under our awning.
Check these guys out for a source. Good selection, many sizes and colors...good prices.
Awning Mats.com - any "good" RV rug can just be sprayed off with a hose. not those dreadful artificial grass Indoor/outdoor rugs however that will kill the grass and aren't allowed in most decent campgrounds.
bumpy - We have one that is supposed to allow air and water through easily - it feels somewhat like a woven plastic material and we use it under our screen room. It's easy to clean with a hose (although it is handy to have a bag to place it in in case you need to break camp in the rain). I'm not familiar with any other type although I know that there is a variety available.
