Hi. I have an Outwell Oakland xl tent, and love it. My only problem is that I didn't buy the carpet when I bought the tent. I have looked online but cannot find one anywhere. Does anyone know anywhere that still sells them, or a make/model that may be a suitable alternative . Cheers
I never managed to get the official carpet for my Vango Samara 600 but I did managed to pick up some Coleman universal tent carpets that together fit the living space perfectly. They were only £13 each from Camp Mania, not sure if they have any left though.

Both Vango and Kampa do universal carpets or failing that just trawl carpets for other tents and see if one has a living area of similar dimensions.

Fitted tent carpets tend to be quite expensive unless you can pick them up in end of line sales.
I have always used PVC backed picnic rugs which are pretty much the same thing although there are different qualities so be careful what you buy. It may mean having to buy more than one but that will normally still be cheaper than the ready made tent carpet. It will also mean it won't be fully fitted but who needs it to go right up to the walls of the tent when you don't walk right up to the walls?
as the others said you can just get plastic backed picnic rugs (you can pick these up pretty cheaply - ours came from primarni) - we use these in bedroom pods and the porch and do fine :)

We use picnic blankets for the kids bedroom pods, a Coleman for our pod but the living area took a bit of research. Comparing dimensions I found that an easycamp drive away awning carpet was a perfect match for our pescara.
It did take a lot of comparing and looking at diagrams but worth it.
I have just bought a universal carpet for our new Vango Inspire Airbeam tent and feel quite posh having a carpet in a tent but cant wait to try it out when we go to France next month.
