Abstract: A portable entranceway carpet for a recreational vehicle comprises a carpet for the entranceway or doorway of a recreational vehicle and a storage container for the carpet mounted at a convenient location on the exterior of the vehicle, such that the carpet is stored outside the recreational vehicle at all times, and it is not necessary to bring the dirty carpet into the vehicle after it has been used in camping. In one aspect of the invention, the container is mounted under a door sill at the side of the recreational vehicle and includes a spring biased roller for supporting the carpet in the container. The roller can be unrolled from the container through a slot in the side thereof, and a latch mechanism holds the roller at a desired extended position. The latch mechanism is manually releasable to automatically retract the carpet into the container. Brushes mounted along the slot in the container automatically remove dirt and debris from the carpet when it is retracted into the container.
