Turn the ground outside your RV door into a real living space. The Lippert 2022115668 patio mat lays down a clean, defined area under your awning so you can step out without tracking in dirt, grass, or gravel. At 8 by 16 feet, it fills the footprint of a standard RV awning extension and holds up to sun, rain, and repeated trips through the campground.
Most campsite surfaces -- bare gravel, patchy grass, dusty hardpack -- are not comfortable to stand on and bring debris straight into your rig. This mat creates a defined, cleanable surface that stays put through wind and foot traffic and rolls up in minutes when you break camp.
The 70% PVS (polyvinyl siloxane) and 30% polyester construction gives this mat a tight, open weave that lets dirt and water pass through to the ground rather than pooling on top. The finished edges prevent fraying over seasons of use, and the gray colorway coordinates with most RV exterior palettes without showing every scuff.
PVS/polyester blend handles UV exposure, rain, and temperature swings without fading, cracking, or holding moisture against the ground.
Metal grommets at all four corners accept ground stakes (sold separately, part 2-2001) to keep the mat flat and in position on windy days.
The open weave and treated materials resist mold and mildew growth so the mat stays fresh between trips even if stored slightly damp.
A matching storage and carry bag is included. Fold the mat, roll it, and secure it in the bag for under-bed or basement bay storage between uses.
Cleanup is straightforward -- rinse with a garden hose or run a pressure washer over it to clear out embedded dust and debris. No scrubbing required for routine cleaning. Allow the mat to air dry fully before folding into the carry bag for storage. For stubborn stains, a mild soap and soft brush work well without damaging the weave.
The open PVS/polyester weave lets water and fine particles pass straight through during a hose rinse. Most cleaning jobs take under five minutes at the site, and the mat is typically dry enough to pack within an hour in warm weather.
Unfold the mat and position it under your extended awning or along your RV entry. For sites with wind or uneven terrain, ground stakes through the four corner grommets keep edges flat and prevent trip hazards. Stakes are not included -- order Lippert patio rug stakes, part 2-2001, separately to get the most out of the corner anchor system.
On hard-packed or gravel sites where stakes won't penetrate easily, fold the grommet tabs under heavy camp chairs or a table leg to hold the corners down without hardware.
At 17 lbs the mat is manageable for one person. Fold lengthwise in thirds, then roll tightly toward the carry bag opening. Most RV basement storage bays and slide-out-of-the-way under-bed compartments accommodate the rolled dimensions easily. The matching carry bag keeps the mat clean between seasons and protects adjacent gear from any residual ground grit.
Before putting the mat away for winter, rinse and dry it completely. Storing a damp mat in a sealed bag over several months can stress even mold-resistant materials. A full dry-out is the best way to extend mat life season over season.
