Maybe not ghetto but you sure will get a lot of curios looks as well as a great conversation piece :J

You'd be much classier with one of these. (We have the smaller one in white.)

I did mean the inside of the PU.  The floor of the PU gets pretty cold and while we do turn on the heater it would be nice I think if the floor had some rugs or something.  We have a lot of old (still good) bathroom rugs(matts) that we could use.  They would be easy to clean and I think would fit just right.

Our original flooring was sticky with age - so I have some of those woven-rag mats I use in front of the beds and door - that way you have something to catch the dirt and sand and can shake it out the door.  

Even tho we put in a brand new linoleum floor, I'll still probably use those little rag rugs - they catch alot of junk and wash well when I get home.  I use them both inside and outside, and if they get too messy, I can just toss 'em in a plastic bag until we get home.

Our new to us pop up is like new inside, but we still went out right away and bought area rugs for the inside.  I'd rather wash the rugs then have our twins trash the cushions when they climb around on things.  We make them take their shoes off outside, but man you have to just see their socks to know they still can get dirt everywhere.  :)

When I was a kid, we had big problems with a cold floor in the bathroom. Dad solved the problem by having thick carpet installed in it. Mother really liked it alot and had carpet installed all the way into the house.......

How does having rugs on the floor keep the twins from trashing the cushions?:)

:) Well, I guess I should have said, the cushions will get less dirty as they trash them!

I see no one got this but me.  I'm well aquaited with the Sears and Roebuck tissue.  February in SD is pretty serious cold floor not to mention cold seat.  At least no bats or flys crawling up.

I did, and guess what I even used the mat that goes around the base of the toilet inside the camper (talk about ghetto!!! lol but we needed mats and didn't want to spend any $$ on a new runner right now...)  

Anyway, I only have 2 mats (wish I knew before we moved I had about 20 old mats) so when it was cold, we used them infront of the dinette.  Now we still have them in the camper and use them in the doorway to help catch the dirt.  Keeps it much cleaner inside (providing, I don't dump them inside the camper :rolleyes: )  We take our shoes off (most times) before going in, the 6 y/o is really good about it, but the 3 y/o, not so much... besides, he loves his crocs without socks and I think his feet get dirtier than his shoes... and there is always that time you have your lace up shoes on and need to grab just one more thing out of the camper...

I bought long, berber-like mats to put on our flooring....to catch the dirt, keep our tootsies warm, etc.  They do have the rubber backing on them, so they don't move around, no one slips.  They work great, easy to shake out, wash, etc.

We're from the LBC!:-()  It is Ghetto!;)

We have bathroom mats inside our PopUp!  They were purchased new at Target when we purchased our PopUp to color coordinate with the interior valence curtains and upholstery scheme.

We have two long runners, and one small rectangle.  We do cold weather camping and they cover the entire floor.  I figured they were very plush and they came with built-in non-skid backing!!
