We full timed for several years and had a nice patio, easy to clean and store. We let it go when we sold our 5th wheel. We just bought a used motor home and now we have to start all over finding the things we need (want).We don't care for the large weave mats or the grassy ones.. We like to be able to sweep it or hose it off.An suggestions?ThanksBarb

We have the same situation.We had a great mat and sold it when we changed motor homes.Now all we can buy are mats that last about a year and then start to decompose.Seems a new rule in Canada.Would love to have the old mat back. It was great and lasted for 10 years and was still going strong.

You can sweep the weave mats easily and they are better when hosed off as they dry faster.

I bought a 6 X 9 reversible patio mat through Amazon for $30. Haven't had it that long, but it cleans up really well (with a broom). I looked it up and it's an Amazon fulfillment company called Smart Camping World.It is very light weight and supposedly has UV protection. Guess we shall see.

Check the thread just above (by Loulou) - lots of info right there.

I had a long talk with one of the Mat Vendors ,last Winter in Yuma! The problem is that We are after an inexpensive Mat like everyone else.
Inexpensive and Quality do not go hand in hand!

The importers are trying to keep the mats to a price point that is attractive to the consumer.

The result is that the Mats are garbage!
