You are gearing up for your next big RV adventure and the family is packed and ready to go. While at the campground, you've noticed friends with these bright colored mats that seem to be so popular today, particularly with RV'ers and camping enthusiasts. If you have not noticed them before, these mats, in addition to looking pretty cool are actually serving several purposes, which we will explain here. Ohhh, that's what those things are called! Call them RV Mats, RV Awning Camping Mats, Patio Mats or just plain Camping Mats but regardless of the name, the purpose is the same - to keep your backside dry, to keep your RV clean and to not kill the grass at the campground. How are they made? RV camping mats are typically colorful, reversible PVC (plastic) mats that are made from blown and colored straw that is then weaved using a special machine into the colorful designs you see around the campground. In most cases, the mats are made in 3 or 5-foot panels and each panel is sewn together to get the final dimensions in increments of 3 feet: 6' x 9', 8' x 12' 8' x 18'and 8'x 20' are some of the most popular sizes. The seam that is created in each mat by adjoining panels is what makes the mats so easy to fold and store, which is perfect for RV'ing and camping when space is tight and packing must be light. Purpose of RV Camping Mats In the "old days" these mats were used in Europe and Asia as prayer mats. People would kneel on the mats and pray. A few American companies and others, have beefed up the mats and changed the patterns to accommodate the rugged outdoorsy theme many campers enjoy. The mats are used mainly to keep people from tracking dirt and debris into your RV. If you own an RV you know first-hand that every time someone walks in or out of the RV they always leave a little something behind, be it mud, leaves, dirt, etc. RV camping mats keep debris inside your RV to a minimum. Additionally, the mats act as a barrier between you and the elements. Ever go camping after it has rained 3 or 4 days straight? You go to "pop a squat" only to find your backside soaked in mud. Although most RV camping mats are porous due to their weaved design, they do act as a barrier between you and the elements. No more muddy messes, no more damp clothes! Most of the mats made from this type of weaved design are "Campground Friendly" meaning they will not kill the grass. Being "Campground Friendly" is an especially nice feature of these mats because any true outdoorsman's goal is to leave the campsite as it was when

are not your average "keep up with the Jones'" type of people. These are fun-loving road warriors looking for their next big adventure. These RV'ers usually opt for a more radical design, like patriotic themes, colored checks, purples and pinks. RV Camping Mat vs. Fake Grass Stuff We are always being asked how our mats compare to "the fake grass stuff" to which we usually reply as follows: If you want a very inexpensive mat-type product that will do an ok job for a season, maybe two, go to a local home building supply center and get yourself a nice sized rectangle of it. The fake grass is inexpensive and works under the right conditions. Add rain and you have a mess however. The fake grass tends to hold lots of water and in the rain, it becomes a heavy, water-logged mess. Additionally, the fake grass is solid underneath so it will ruin the grass at the campground. If you plan on using the fake grass as a mat, please check with the campground before you set out - you might not be allowed to use it at all. Fake grass is also significantly more difficult to lug around in comparison. Its bulky and not made to be a mobile piece. The fake grass better serves the miniature golf market where it can be placed permanently on the ground and water can pool up on it in the rain. By contrast, the specialty RV camping mats are lightweight and foldable. Large 9' x 12' mats fold to a dimension small enough to fit into any remaining space in your rig, where space is very limited. Not all mats are the same Last to note, please make sure your mat is UV stabilized. UV stabilizer is a chemical that is added to the production process to allow your mat to stay under the sun for long periods of time. Reputable mat companies add enough of this very expensive product during production to keep your mat looking good for a long time. Mats without the UV stabilizer tend to fall apart very quickly - in as little as just a few uses out in the sun without the added ingredient. You truly get what you pay for when purchasing a mat. UV stabilizer can account for almost 25% of the production cost of the mat so less scrupulous companies skimp on this very important ingredient in order to offer really inexpensive mats to the public. Customer satisfaction for these companies is usually not a priority. Enjoy your mat, hassle free! When camping or RV'ing the last thing you want is equipment failure to ruin your good time. When purchasing a mat, understand what you are buying and make an informed decision for years of trouble-free camping bliss. At the end of your trip, simply shake any loose debris off your mat and fold it up.

When you get home, open your mat and squirt it down with your garden hose to remove any stubborn dirt that would not shake off back at the campground. Above and beyond all, camping is a really great family-friendly sport. The folks at RV Awning Mat Inc. wish you and your family many happy and safe fun-filled adventures. Be sure to check out our ebay Store when you get the chance for a fair deal on a high quality mat.
