[Carl n Susan]

Like John and Dawn, we use the "snowbird" (or some other brand) type mat. We used to have outdoor carpeting. When wet, it was heavy and the dirt stuck to it. The final insult was when it blew out of the back of the truck (hard to believe how much wind is back there when the trailer is attached).

The "snowbird" mat allows water to pass through, consequently it is always light, and cleans up very well. They come in various sizes. We have a 9'x12' and found a 9'x21' in Yuma at the flea market. They both fold up easily and fit on the shelf in the front storage area (next to the slide pump). Susan sweeps and folds the mat while I am getting the trailer hooked up. She has no problems handling it by herself.

I wouldn't go back to the outdoor carpeting type mat again!
