Evening - appreciate it's a bit of a long shot but ....

I have a nebraska xl tent and would like to buy the footprint for it but it seems that they are all discontinued.  Having had a look around it seems that the Royal Pescara have nearly the same dimensions but again it seems no one has any in stock.  We are off camping at the weekend where we have a gravel site so think a groundsheet of some sort would be a good idea...any ideas anyone please !!

Many thanks

get a blue tarp which is larger than the dimensions of the tent and cut it shorter than the tent's base sheet?

alot seem to have had success at doing that and a lot cheaper.

the other option is fleebay or ad sites (like preloved)

One thing to think about from my experiance.

I used to use a blue tarp under my old tent to keep the underside clean etc.

What I had'nt thought of was when I arrived at site in rain last August, and it did'nt look like it was going to stop any time soon, so I laid out the tarp (which quite quickly gained puddles), then put up the tent.

On packing up, the blue tarp and bottom of the tent were still soaked, even though it had not rained again through our stay and it was starting to smell.

So yes, footprints are useful but not if you have to set-up in the rain.
