outdoor rugs

[lovemytt]

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.

Mine is the woven plastic like kind and 8'x20'. Loose dirt falls through. Harder dirt or mud from rain stays on like if we pack up campsite when it is wet. It folds up easily and came with a bag for storage. I sweep off during the camping trip as needed. That's it!

I love it so much under the awning that I bought another for extending from that one to the screen room/picnic table. We have a no shoe policy inside our TT. At the campsite we all wear easily slip on sandals, flip flops, etc and leave on the patio mat by the door. Bringing food out for meals for example means we can leave the shoes off from camper to table.

Many parks will not allow you to use patio mats because they kill the grass. We have one but rarely use it.

We had one for a couple of years.
Seemed to always rain when we used it. I was always putting it up wet and nasty... I finally sold it in a yard sale.

Some of my favorite campgrounds have concrete areas for the picnic table, I just park with my steps about 6" from the concrete.

rv patio mats. I love ours cause of the poly material and dry time is short and clean up is a sweep or shake usually.
we have 3.

simple and easy to clean and store and I love them to the max.

you must have bought the magic indoor outdoor carpet if it didn't kill the grass.

I think you're on to something. Come to think of it, this whole "RV Thing" is a big pain in the can.

If you people really wanted to camp, you'd strip down to your skivvies, sharpen a stick, and walk off into the woods for a week.....otherwise, just stay at home!

I'm putting my trailer up for sale today. Thanks for helping me put it all in perspective. :W

Hahahahahaha!!!

We bought one of these for our trailer last year. Absolutely love it! We bought ours straight from cgear. Several sizes available. Easy to clean, packs up in a small size, water is gone is one quick shake, light weight, comes with tie downs.

I've seen most of the RV mats on the market and owned a few of them. A couple of years ago I came across a breathable one that the grass will grow through if left, sand falls through, light, easy to clean and dries very quickly. They are made in Saskatchewan Canada but I haven't seen them anywhere else even at Rv shows in Alberta. RV mat

We roll ours up wet or dry and slide it in this PVC tube

[Hank_MI]

We have the one from Walmart, woven plastic. It's easy to rinse clean, the water flows through it. Dries quickly because it doesn't absorb water. Folds up small and only weighs a couple of lbs. If you can't find room to carry it you're hauling way too much stuff.

I use one, but I definitely recommend waiting until a sell. They can get expensive and not sure it's worth it. I think I got mine from CW when they had them on doorbusters for like $20 or so. I wouldn't want to pay more.
