Rdome floor

We're thinking about getting a rattan mat to use as the floor in the R-dome.  It will roll up nicely for storage and most of the dirt on it will fall through the cracks.

Just put a tarp on the ground inside the Rdome.  If you put a rug there, you'll be tracking home all the dirt from every campsite.  Many of them provide some gritty stuff that won't shake out of a rug easily.  A tarp is much easier to shake off and clean when you pack up and go.  It's also easier to stow and lighter.  If you need a carpet, just get a small one and put it below your step or carpet your steps.

I beg to differ, but if you prefer a tarp, by all means, feel free!

I have used both a tarp and the patio mat recommended above. It is not
carpet- it is woven polyester in a fairly open weave that does not
accumulate grit and water the way a tarp does. Once a tarp is wet, it
stays wet in my experience. It is impossible to clean, short of hosing
it down in the driveway at home.

The patio mat, unless recently rained upon, sweeps clean on site, folds
compactly into its case, (yes, bulkier than a tarp, but surprisingly
light weight), and stows neatly in the "basement" of our 177 alongside
the r-dome.

To each his own, but we definitely prefer the mat.

We also use a poly mat. Water goes thru it, easy to sweep up, pegs to hold down Dome go thru easily. My wife and I pull it up, shake it out, then folder it up into a neat rectangular pack using a Velcro strap it comes with. Stores great as a tight package.... Got mine at Walmart

Yes, Charlie, I chuckled over that as well!  I, too, assumed that it was a foreign ad writer.
