Camco 42876 Outdoor RV Mat 9x6 Blue Lattice

The Camco 42876 outdoor mat gives you a clean, dry patch of ground right outside your RV door. It's a full 9 feet by 6 feet, which covers a real living space under most awnings, not just a doormat by the step. The blue lattice pattern looks sharp, and the whole thing is built from UV-resistant material so it holds its color through a season of sun instead of fading out in a few weekends.

Camco has been making RV and outdoor gear since 1966, and simple stuff like this is exactly what they're known for. Nothing fancy. Just a well-sized mat that does what it says. The lattice pattern gives it a bit of texture underfoot and a look that doesn't clash with your setup, in a blue that reads clean rather than loud.

Here's the thing every RVer learns the hard way. Dirt, sand, and grass clippings track straight into the camper on your shoes and the dog's paws, and once it's inside it stays inside. A mat like this stops most of that at the door. You set up your chairs and your grill on the mat, wipe your feet before you step up, and the inside of the rig stays a whole lot cleaner. That's the real job it does, and it does it well.

The 9 by 6 size is the sweet spot for a lot of setups. It runs long enough to cover the span of a typical awning and wide enough to hold a couple of camp chairs and a small table without anybody standing in the dirt. Rolled out at a campsite, it turns a patch of dust or gravel into a proper patio. And when you're parked on grass, it gives you a place to stand that isn't muddy after a rain.

Before you buy, it's worth measuring the space you actually want to cover. Nine by six works under most standard awnings with room to spare. But if you run a longer awning or want to link the seating and cooking areas, some folks run two mats end to end. Laid side by side they give you a big, continuous clean zone with no dirt gaps in the middle.

Every corner has a loop sewn in. Those loops matter more than you'd think. Slide a tent stake or a ground peg through each one and the mat stays put through a breezy afternoon instead of curling up or sliding around. If you camp anywhere with regular wind, staking the corners is the first thing you'll want to do. The loops take standard stakes, so anything from your tent kit will work.

Cleanup is about as easy as it gets. Shake it out, sweep it off, or hose it down and let it dry in the sun. The UV-resistant material is made to live outside, so a little rain or a spilled drink isn't a problem. When the trip's over, roll it up and it tucks away in a storage bay or the back of the truck without taking up much room.

This mat isn't just for the campground either. It works great as a patio mat at home, under a gazebo, at a tailgate, or laid out at a sporting event where you want a clean surface underfoot. Anywhere you'd rather stand on something other than bare ground, the 42876 earns its keep. The blue lattice look is easygoing and neutral enough to fit most setups.

A couple of honest notes. It's a ground mat, so it's meant to lie flat on a reasonably even surface. On lumpy or heavily sloped ground it'll follow the contour underneath. And while the material shrugs off sun and weather, staking the corners is still the smart move any time the wind picks up. Do that, and this is the kind of gear that just quietly makes camp life nicer trip after trip.
