Capt, check out Ebay. We bought ours there (50 bucks) and it came with free shipping and a bag. We use it all the time. On the last trip, it got very dirty, just hosed it off in the driveway and let it dry. We store ours in the basement.

Here's a tip for those that like the mats. Look up dog supply catalogs, click on ground covers.......EXACT SAME ONE as the one's at CW and MH supply stores - but 1/2 THE PRICE!
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

bumpy is right. I just camped at a CG that would not allow the astro turf type of rugs, or mats as some call them. I use the woven type and they are allowed, so If you want to be safe or only buy once, spend the money and get the woven type and be glad you did

Just don't get anything with a nape that will pick up and keep burrs. You never get rid of them.

Usually black top/asphalt... sometimes gravel, or even grass.
I tried hauling things that I seldom used...
I'd take them out when I got home if I didn't use them
Mats outside were dumped long ago.
I wouldn't mind not having the awning...
I installed the little wrap around carpet on one of the steps... put a mat iside the camper... we wipe our feet... take our shoes off.

I use both. The astro turf is for boondocking , the good kind is for rv parks. I store em both on top in the travel box.

I use a cheap 3'x4' rubber door mat under the steps only.
Never saw the need to use an awning mat.

... Got a similar love hate with the camper mounted awning.

I've had several types and now I have the plastic fold up mat from wal-mart and it beats anything elses hands down. Light, folds up in an instant, It is light even when wet and can hose off and dry quickly. Will never use the astro turf mess again.
