Caravan and Motorhome Mats

Caravan and Motorhome Mats: Your Complete Guide

Cleaning caravans and motorhomes is an unwanted part of owning a home on wheels. Even though cleaning will always be necessary, taking certain steps will reduce the amount of times you have to do it. This is where a good set of mats to stop dirt and moisture at the door play their part, but there are some more suited to life on the road.

The ultimate dirt stop matting system for a caravan and motorhome is to combine an outdoor mat with an interior door mat. Quality caravan mats and motorhome mats are your first line of defence against dirt, mud, and moisture, helping you maintain a comfortable living space wherever your travels take you.

Types of Caravan and Motorhome Mats

Interior Caravan Mats

Interior mats need to work efficiently in tight spaces. Unlike traditional homes where you might take several steps on an entrance mat, caravan doorways offer limited space. Your mat must be highly effective at trapping dirt and moisture from the very first step.

Look for absorbent caravan door mats that hold dirt and moisture within the mat structure. Machine washable options make maintenance simple, allowing you to restore your mat to peak performance without hassle.

Our Shades Custom Heavy Duty mats and Velour Microfibre Ultra Absorbent mats excel as interior caravan mats, offering exceptional absorption in compact sizes.

Outdoor Mats for Caravans and Motorhomes

Outdoor caravan mats serve as your first defence, removing heavy mud, sand, grass, and grit before anyone enters. These mats need to withstand British weather, stay secure in windy conditions, and cope with varied terrain.

Effective outdoor motorhome mats feature scraper nodules that dislodge stubborn dirt from boot treads. Drainage holes allow rainwater to flow through rather than pooling. Consider storage requirements – can the mat be easily rolled when you’re on the move?

The Rubber Ramp Mat and Rubber Fingertip Mat offer robust outdoor performance with convenient roll-up storage.

Made to Measure Caravan Mats

Standard mats rarely fit the unique dimensions found in caravans and motorhomes. Narrow walkways, stepped areas, and irregular spaces all benefit from custom-sized matting.

Made to measure caravan mats can be ordered to your exact dimensions, ensuring complete coverage along walkways and living areas.

Motorhome Garage Mats

Motorhome garage areas have to take a lot of abuse from heavy equipment and luggage that is moved in and out of this area. It is a good idea to protect the floor of this storage area and let a mat take the worst of the wear and tear.

Roll mats can be cut to size and you can further cut them to fully line your mobile home garage space as needed.

They can easily be removed for cleaning when needed.

Our Fine Ribbed Rubber Roll and Heronrib options work excellently in these spaces.

Creating the Ultimate Caravan Mat System

The most effective approach combines outdoor and indoor mats working together. Place a robust scraper mat outside your door to remove heavy dirt and mud. Inside, position a highly absorbent mat to capture remaining moisture and fine dirt particles. This two-mat system dramatically reduces cleaning time and keeps your mobile home cleaner for longer.

What to Look For when Choosing Caravan Mats

Absorption Capacity: Your mats should hold significant moisture without becoming saturated quickly.

Ease of Cleaning: Machine-washable mats offer the greatest convenience, ensuring they remain hygienic throughout your travels.

Durability: Choose materials that resist wear, maintain their shape after washing, and won’t deteriorate when exposed to outdoor elements.

Anti-Slip Backing: Mats should feature non-slip backing that keeps them secure.

Storage-Friendly Design: Consider how easily mats roll and how much storage space they require.

Maintenance and Care of Caravan Mats

Machine-washable mats offer the simplest maintenance, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and allow to dry completely before replacing. For non-washable mats, vacuum regularly and shake outdoors to dislodge trapped debris.

Outdoor rubber mats can be hosed down and left to dry in the sun. Regular cleaning maintains optimal performance and extends mat life.

Protecting Your Investment

Your caravan or motorhome represents a significant investment that deserves proper protection. Quality mats are a simple, cost-effective way to preserve your mobile home’s condition while making life on the road more comfortable.

Whether you’re looking for hard-working outdoor caravan mats, highly absorbent interior motorhome mats, or custom-sized solutions for unique spaces, choosing the right matting makes every journey cleaner and more pleasant.
