can't get a carpet for our vango aspen (vango don't currently make any carpets) so I did consider an outwell carpet but pricey and also wrong colour, didn't want green in a blue tent - so I got 4 standard sized navy picnic blankets from tesco and sewed them together on the sewing machine to make a huge rug/carpet which not only fits most of the floor area in the aspen but will also fit our sunncamp vario 600.  The blankets cost around £5-£6. each, however tesco also do a deluxe picnic rug which I think is 240cm x 175cm for around £7.....perhaps a couple of them would be suitable.

 Bundy,s, Have you not thought about what me n my mate did,

    Go to a carpet shop, and ask for a piece of thier thinest cheapest carpet they have (preferably roll end, Cheaper Still) Take it home , cut it to exact shape, roll it up and fold it in half, and either stick in boot or trailor, or wrap in poly and stick in roofbox or tie on roofbars as we do, My mate just got one for his kyham ontario 8 living area, measures 12ft x 11ft, it cost him £25, and it will last his tent out, ive had mine 3yrs now, and would,nt go away without it. (just a suggestion)

You can buy large pieces of breathable groundsheet/comfimat that can be cut to size. It comes in a variety of different colours and looks like this262It is very warm and comfortable underfoot and means you dont have to sweep up constantly because grass and other bits fall through the holes and disappear like magic.

Yes did consider cheapy carpet Bob, but wanted something I could bung in the washing machine or hose down if necessary...thought about possibility of proper carpet getting damp then smelly plus the weight....so picnic blankets it was for me!

I have got the breathable groundsheet mentioned above by Jo in my Aspen 700DLX. I have cut it so it fits perfect and i think it beats carpet hands down. Its warm on your bare feet, easy to clean, does not soak up liquid so you can just wipe any spills and comes in the colours mentioned. You need to go to a camping shop and have a feel of the stuff as the pictures do make it look hard, as where it is really soft stuff but very strong.
