What are you using for the outdoor mat
So what have folks bought - assembled for their outdoor mat and outdoor setup for the area in front of your A-Frame camper -- door side areas...??
thanks

$10 Walmart automobile floormat set of 4. Great and easy to clean, but they are carpet and will hold water when it rains. They dry out fast in the sun.

similar to rvawningmats.com but available at Costco, but not likely this time of year, depending where you live they may not restock till next spring....from Costco they cost about $50...good thing about them is they dry very quickly, very easy to wash and they don't kill the grass beneath them.

Walmart 9X12 reversible outdoor rug. It's in the RV section for $48. plus change. Hose it off, dries quickly and folds up with a carry strap. We have one for under the awning and one for our screened room.

For years I have had the same Leisure Mat. Light weight, easy to clean & put away, looks good.

I use a long heavy duty canvas tarp; it easily sweeps clean, and folds into a small package.

High quality mats made by a husband and wife team. Materiel is also made in the USA.
Cost more than a Walmart mat but it will be the last mat you'll ever buy.
I visited there shop when I was passing through Lake Wales, FL.
Top notch operation.

I go to Lowes and buy some indoor/outdoor carpet the size I need. Usually 6'x12' for about 25 bucks.

Though OP was looking for opinions from those with A-frame trailers, I think this might apply:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Though now unavailable, I purchased this with the knowledge that it was a 5x8 mat and not 9x12 as advertised...and it is perfect for me. The material and construction works extremely well in rain/dirt/sand/grass applications. It brooms exceptionally well. And no cleaning before putting away...just broom the top and fold the undersides together then roll and you are ready for the next deployment.
And, BTW, the beige and brown colors match the trailer colors extremely well. And for $25 it was a no-brainer.

I use a reversible RV patio mat. It does not mold or mildew, folds up nicely into a carrying case that came with it, sweeps off or rinses off with water quickly and easily, dries quickly, is not supposed to kill the grass and is lightweight. It helps to greatly reduce the amount of debris being brought into the camper on footwear, even though we don't wear shoes inside the camper. The dog is notorious for bringing in sand, etc. on her paws, despite wiping them off first so the patio mat is helpful with reducing that problem.

Trailer Outdoor Rug/Mat
I have found the Trailer/RV Rug to be great. Last place we used it was extremely dusty and returning home washed it with soap and water on the driveway. Let it dry. Perfect again.
I also made a bag to store ours in this was a modification of an DIMPA IKEA bag and it has worked great. 1-P1160062.jpg2-P1160063.jpg
