CGEAR Multimat

[davemc]

Well we brought a cheap Aldi matt when we got the van. So far not very impressed it is too small anyway 2.4x3 so going to get a CGEAR matt. Only question what size?
Our 17" has a awning of 4.5 meters
Do you get a 4.3 x 2.4 to fit or a 5.3 x 2.4 and have extra out the front..
or bigger still
Is bigger more a pain to pack up. What did people get with their 17" and what did they think?

thanks

I got one. I have a 17. I love it. Wish I got the bigger one.

 

[davemc]

thanks @fishinglizard how much bigger would you go just looked and they have 6 and 7.5 which is as long as the van

Great bit if kit. We have two big and small, can't recall large size but small is 2.4 x 1.8 I think? Use both together at say Xmas when set up for ten days with awning and privacy extensions etc. use large by itself with just the awning and small when we road trip for just in front of the door and table. Purchased from Hannibal Safari

I would have got one the same size as the van the width is fine. The door on my disc 17 55 is at the front so when the mats covering the door it leaves a bit at the back. You can sought of see it in that photo. They work really well too. Expensive and i was a bit skeptical but really happy with it. Sorry photo would not load on my iphone. Got mine off ebay it was heaps cheaper than most other shops

 

[davemc]

thanks yeah looking on ebay one of the place you get free cheap UHF's.
Bigger not always better hence thought ask first

We went looking for a flooring mat a couple weeks ago. Seemed quite expensive, anyway on the way home we called into the Jayco factory spare parts shop and they had flooring they were trying to clear. Glad we didn't buy from the big stores as Jayco's price was below half of what the others wanted.

 

[davemc]

Hey Geoff, what brand flooring at Jayco.. decided we only going CGear this time rather this be not something we update.

Definitely go Cgear you get what you pay for, got the 6 the same length as the van and as long as you remember the way it folds back no problems.

@davemc we bought ours from ebay (the same site you suggest) and it was the cheapest cgear I could get delivered. Turned up very quickly and exactly as expected. Awesome bit if kit but yes they are expensive. We got a 5.2m * 2.4m with a 14ft awaning.

 

[achjimmy]

I find the bags big enough to put the CGear away with being anal about the correct folds? Check Hannibal Safari, when we bought ours they beat the ebay prices considerably but that was a few years ago.

Got the CGear 5.2 x 2.4. Great mat, had one of those rubber ones before, this is much, much better.

 

[relgate]

Bigger is better. We love ours and will need to get a bigger one when the starcraft arrives. Will probably hold on to the current one so we can have a double on longer stays

[davemc]

Thanks Jimmy yes cheaper to I add postage then around the same.
Might get 6m will wait to financial controller home just spent almost $200 on TV arm

 

[Ren77]

We have the 6 x 2.4. Very happy with the size of it

It is the Coast to Coast brand, from memory a 6m piece was $99. We looked at CGear and others but they only had green. My wife did not want green. Had to be grey or blue but not green, not green!!! Anyway Jayco had blue, matches the trim on the annexe she said.

 

[achjimmy]

well when we get our van finally I will have a coast to coast matt available to suit a 17'. its coming as part of the show package and I am not carrying both.
