Turn the space under your awning into a clean, comfortable outdoor room. The Faulkner 53008 is a 9 x 12 foot polypropylene patio mat built specifically for RV camping: it drains fast, dries quickly, resists mold and UV damage, and rolls up into its included storage bag when it is time to move. Corner tie-down loops keep it in place when the wind picks up, and at just 12 lbs it is easy for one person to handle.
Whether you are parked at a full-hookup resort, boondocking on the desert floor, or tailgating at the stadium lot, the Faulkner 53008 gives you a defined, clean surface to walk, sit, and relax on. The open-weave polypropylene construction lets water and dirt pass through so the mat does not trap moisture underneath -- a big deal for grass sites where a solid mat can kill the turf and breed mildew.
The Modern Swish pattern in black and gray is neutral enough to complement any RV color scheme and dark enough to hide the inevitable trail of campfire ash and dog paws. When camp is over, shake it out, roll it up, and stuff it into the included storage bag.
Open polypropylene construction lets rain and dirt drain through, so the mat dries fast and does not trap moisture under your rig or on your grass site.
All four corners include built-in loops so you can stake the mat down in wind -- rug stakes sold separately.
UV-stabilized fibers resist sun fading and the open weave prevents the trapped moisture that causes mold and mildew growth.
Rolls up and stores in the included bag -- no wrestling with a loose 12-pound mat between sites.
The mat is woven from 100% polypropylene -- the same family of materials used in most quality outdoor and marine rugs. Polypropylene does not absorb water, so it dries in a fraction of the time a natural-fiber rug would. It also resists the mold, mildew, and rot that humid camping environments encourage. UV stabilizers in the fiber protect against color fading through a full camping season of direct sun exposure.
One of the most practical reasons RVers use a patio mat is dirt control. A defined mat outside the door gives everyone a place to knock shoes clean before stepping up. Dirt, grass clippings, mud, and gravel stay outside, which means far less sweeping inside the rig. At 9 x 12 feet, the 53008 is large enough to cover the full width of most slide-out decks and extend well past the entry step.
Unroll the mat, position it under your awning or in front of your door, and use rug stakes through the four corner loops to anchor it. Faulkner and other manufacturers offer rug stakes sized for polypropylene mats -- these are sold separately and not included with the 53008. On hard surfaces like concrete pads, the mat lays flat on its own; the corner loops are most useful on grass or gravel.
