Awning mats

[Monica M]

I bought a set of weight plates to put on the legs of the awning... which in turn holds the front of the grass mat down. The back side is held in place by using the wheel chocks around both sides of the tire. Since there's four weight plates... made for the Quik Shade, I put two on each awning leg. It's not going to go anywhere! And, I got them at half-price at the end of camping season.

Hey Donna great idea! I ordered a mat from here http://www.rvawningmats.com/rvmats/pc/9x12...-Combos-c18.htm the price was right, but the shipping brought the total up to $77 , but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. Can you do me a favor and post pics and a description of how the awning legs work. The awning looks so compact, I just can't imagine any legs being in there. I haven't had a chance to open it yet, so if you could give me a little tutorial I would really appreciate it!

I took a Scrusher shoe/boot brush and attached it to stock door mat. I use it alone or with awning
mat.

Monica, I don't have a Scamp awning. Mine is a Horizon case awning... like they put on the Casitas: Horizon Case Awning

We use a snap-together yoga/exercise mat from KMart. Then we put down a patio mat on top. That way, we kind of have a carpet with a cushion.

I used a piece of thick vinyl upholstery material - you can get it for $5 or $6 a yard, usually about 4 or 5 feet wide - I just put a grommet on each corner and clamped it down with regular tent stakes. This is a very good alternative if you want something that you can roll or fold up and store easily and its fairly lightweight, and EASY to clean. I also use a small plastic grass mat right in front of the door to get the loose stuff off my shoes before entering the camper.

I actually found out that I have to order the "wand" that released the awning, so I will order it Monday, no biggie, weather here is perfect, but the awning gives our Eggs a more "homie" feeling IMO. Can't wait to get the mat and be able to have my awning too!

Make sure your awning wand isn't stuffed in a closet or hidden on board some where! "been there done that"!
