I have a 2016 Passport Ultra Lite Express 199ML. I need to buy one of those "RV patio mats," and trying to figure-out which size. The brochure/specs that I can find for my Keystone says only that the awning is "10-feet," which I assume is its width along the side of the TT.

Does anyone know how far out it extends (i.e., "length")? I e-mailed Customer Service at Keystone and they said "Go measure it." I would except it's stored 30 miles away. I thought someone on this list might know.

Thanks,

We bought 2 of these a couple of years ago.
100% Polyester so:
It doesn't hold water
It doesn't rot or smell if it has to be put away wet.
Easy to clean.
Cheap but does the job.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose the mat you've recommended would fit under my awning that is 10 feet wide by _____ feet long/deep.

I know, I know, I didn't give the size. I would guess our TT's have about the same size awning. We put the 2 side by side so 12 feet wide by 8 feet out from the trailer and it's all under the awning.
Sorry I can't be more help.

BTW, if you get one full size mat think about the weight and where you will store it.

Polypropylene woven mats are wonderful. You should be okay with a 9x12' mat for a 10' awning length. They fold up nicely and are extremely easy to clean. Mine's 2 years old with 70 days of use. Still looks brand new.

Here's one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QU3HW4/ref=twister_B01JSS1N32?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) on Amazon. Come's with a carry bag.

Sorry, I wasn't fussing at you, still perplexed that Keystone can't or won't tell me the size of awning it installed on my 2016 Passport 199ML. I can call Ford Motor Co., give them the VIN on my Ford F-150, and they can tell me every option that was installed, with complete specs.

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered the 6x9 pad you recommended and it's waiting on me to pick it up at my local HD. I'll try that first, and if it's not big enough, just get another one. However, your 195RB has a 15-foot wide awning (according to the brochures) whereas my 199ML has a 10-foot. Your 195RB is listed as being longer than my 199ML, however.

Thanks again.

Strange, I thought my google foo was strong but you are right. Nothing on awning size.
I would have thought your awning must be more than 10' but I looked at pictures of yours and mine and spec's sy mine is 15' so...

I just bought a 16' LED rope and I thought it wouldn't reach from front to back. Now I know I'll have a little extra.

Is there a Keystone dealer near you?
Go look and pretend you are interested and take some measurements.
