We don't have an awning yet but it's on our to-get list. We want to get an outdoor mat for in front of the door. We've looked at various ones and now see what they are, what they're made out of etc. But there are various sizes, 8x20, 9x18 and various smaller sizes. Is there a perfect size mat that fits under the tipical awning that would go on a 26 foot coach? What are the dimensions of the 26 foot coach awning or are they all not the same.

As always thanks for your input.

I have a 6 x 10. it is too small. They are usually recycled milk bottle woven plastic. They really don' t need to be the same size of the awning.

The more dirt you can cover and keep out of the coach, the better...

I have a friend who gets a new sheet of astro turf every year. Use it, abuse it, toss it. Seems wasteful, and they weigh a lot more, and don't hold up well. The woven plastic ones seem to be the best bet.
