CARAVAN RV CAMPING

Caravan mats may not seem like an essential item, but they allow you to enjoy the outdoors while helping keep sand and dirt out of your vehicle. If you’re looking for one for the first time or you want to replace an existing caravan mat, you’ll find that there are different types available and that they also vary according to price and weight. This guide will help you buy the right caravan mat that will suit your exact needs.

 

Materials

 

A caravan mat can be modelled of synthetic mesh, this is achieved by layers of weaving. That makes it durable and capable of allowing sand and dirt to fall through it. However, synthetic mesh mats must be pegged down to prevent bunching. If you’re choosing these caravan mats, make sure they’re made of breathable fabric to avoid destroying the grass underneath. Moreover, make sure it’s UV-stable and rot-proof. Camec and CGear make some of the best synthetic mesh mats.

 

PVC foam is another material used for caravan matting. It’s rubber matting that offers denser coverage and won’t require any pegs to hold it down since it’s designed to lay flat on the ground. Greater coverage means a softer feel underfoot, but the material isn’t that good at letting dirt fall through. That said, you can sweep the dirt off with ease. Remember that the softer feel makes the mat less durable on hard surfaces.

 

Size and colour

 

Caravan mats come in various sizes, and your choice should depend on how big your annex area is. They usually come in neutral colours like grey, blue, and green, and your choice should be basis your personal preference. There are also fun designs by DLG Australia if you’re looking to add some colour into your life!

 

Weight and price

 

The weights of caravan mats may have slight variations between brands. However, synthetic mesh mats are generally lighter than foam or rubber matting, which is denser. Be sure to compare the prices of one caravan mat to another. Your choice should ultimately be based on your budget and requirements. Don’t hesitate to invest in a durable mat, that will last through many of your outdoor adventures.

 

Where to buy a caravan mat

 

You can buy caravan mats online, but make sure they’re coming from the right source. Buy only from a trusted and reputable Australia-based company that carries a vast selection of high-quality mats from brands like MukMat, CGear, Camec and DLG Australia.
