Hi - this is my 1st post here, so go easy! ;)
Love this site. It's helped us make an informed decision about which TT to buy.
So, I've just bought a the above BUT it doesn't have a ground sheet.
I guess I'd like to know what you use if you have an Atlantis (even if you dont) and also the size(s) of GS.

It's been 8-10 years since we've camped so quit a lot has changed with the equipment side, so I'm ready to be schooled!

Thank you in advance! :)

It depends on how and where you'll use your awning, I reckon.

If you're going to be using it in, say, the heat of the south of France, you might like to go for a breathable woven goundsheet (as used in caravan awnings) such as Isabella Bolon (pricey but tough and packs down quite compact:


There are lots of other variations on breathable groundsheet, the spongey type is soft underfoot and usually available off the roll at caravan accessory shops (or fleabay etc):

Or, if you're more likely to be camping where it's wet and muddy, you might like to go for a solid, PVC groundsheet:


In other words, there's lots to choose from out there so the choice is yours. When we had a frame tent, we used Isabella Bolon when in France but a solid groundsheet with the Bolon on top (so it acted like a carpet) in the UK.

Incidentally, you can cut the Bolon to size without fraying, so just go for the nearest size.

PS

I think your awning size is approx 4m x 4.4m, minus the porch bit?

I'd probably get 2 x pieces of groundsheet, one at around 3m x 4.5m (to put from side to side, tucked under the cabin if necessary) and a smaller one for the front bit (just overlap it).
