Hi Jim,

We have one that was made to suit the Eagle we had. I think it was 11' x 8'. It's a great product & like you, we are now wondering what to do when our expanda arrives. The C Gear site shows a 6' x 8' we were thinking of getting to extend on the one we already have but If i didn't already have one I would go with the 17' x 8'. I reckon you might as well cover the length of your van if you going to get one.
One thing we have noticed with ours is when you are wearing runners they tend to slip on the matting. Not a major problem once you are aware of it & I usually don't wear shoes when were camping anyway.

Cheers,

Paul

Hey folks,
I got mine off e-bay. 2.5m x 6m for $149. I just fold it under to suit the size I require.
Regards,
Turtle.

Love these mats. Had a bucket load of water while we were away, heaps of mud around the place we were staying, but nothing in the van. That was with 4 kids as well.
