Awning mat

Money well spent!

Years ago we had a mat that was like artificial turf. Washable with hose and always looked good. We thought we were all posh! LOL

Next we bought a woven mat. It was plastic. It did not breath well and really made a mess of the grass. One of the worst things was that it shredded easily due to the weave. I was not sad to see it go. The mat is available today and I can't understand why. They are at every show.


This year we bought a mat for under the awning of our trailer. The one we bought is excellent. It breathes, allows water through and does not damage grass. It is very plain, no pattern. Sweeps great and folds up nicely. We bought one 8x18 at around $165 Canadian. Totally reduces any sand, dirt, grass etc from the TT. I am trying to remember the name.

It was money well spent!
