We don't have a rug, just a ground cover and I had to split it to be able to get it in the tube. Works great.

Ground cover is a vinyl woven fabric that lets water thru and is much thinner than the outdoor carpet like Astroturf. Supposedly won't kill the grass like the rugs, etc.

I saw that and you're not getting off that easy. Looks like a rolled up newspaper. Certainly you have a pic of it somewhere. You probably have a mod for it that it rolls itself up.

Mine is a nylon type carpet - no rubber. I bought it from Lowes. I like it better than the RV mats that are out there because it actually gets sand/dirt off and water runs right through it. When on concrete or asphalt it does stay damp after a rain but it dries quickly. The sand shakes off of it pretty good. Most of the time I just bungee it to the rear bumper to transport.
One mistake I made with it was using it on a winter outing. It rained which changed to snow but the overnight temps dropped well below freezing. The wet carpet froze to the asphalt pad but I was able to get it lifted off. Then I had this very flat, very stiff 6' X 9' mat. What a picture that musta have been watching me haul this thing around my campsite. I brought it to my outside shower where I was able to melt it down to roll up.

ID:	71251. Just installed my 5x5 sewer carrier. I cut mine 74" long and used the gutter inside as a tray that pulls out. Up next 1/4x1/4 screen on the front grill.
