I've used them in a building. They are nice and quiet. Sweep well. I have the plain grey ones under the mattress in my TD as well

I have them in a few trailers,they are great!

I found some for the Casita that have Carpet on them too!
Both insulate,cushioned and carpeted they are the real deal.
No pics of these right now though.

Same here. I have 1/4” thickness interlocking mats on the metal floor of my trailer and they prevent condensation and take the chill out even when camping in the winter.

I use them a lot outside the drop but ours are camping ones with holes in them to let water through. Great for high traffic areas like the galley and seating spots.

have used them under the mattress for years now - just a bit more insulation along with the added support and with the thinking that if it 'ever' does happens (more like !!WHEN!!) - say a flat tire out on the open road somewhere OR just having to get down under the trailer/truck for whatever the reason ?? - there is a mat too lay/kneel on at anytime and if a panel or two gets ruined? - from Harbor Freight they are so CHEAP to replace!!!!! (and yes with age, it has gotten ever more 'painful' kneeling down these days and some sort of knee pad works SO NICE!!! :thumbsup: for the $$$ they are so cheap and work so good!!! (May go back to having 2 layers just to have extra.............................................. :thinking:

Forgot to mention I have 2 layers of these mats in my trailer also. And a few extras in the basement if I ever need replacements.
