I need a carpet for my Vango Breckenridge 600. I know its highly unlikely I'll find one as its an old tent and discountinued ( however a brill tent I want to keep )....Proper tent carpet to fit ( the nearest size ) im gonna be paying around £90-100!!! Shocking! What im thinking is I'll get 2/3 extra large waterproof backed picnic rugs and stitch them together!
Wat id like to know...is this viable? Would it be just as good as a proper tent carpet? Anyone have any other ideas, places were I can get cheap tent carpet or rugs?
Thanks muchly :)

I've no idea what size you are after, but the reno 4 carpet fits quite nicely in the bed pod of our icarus 500 (2011) which is 315 x 210. The reno carpet does have two corners cut away though! Now the good bit......
You can get them HERE for just £8.14 each..... so just get as many as you need to cover the whole lot!!
Just a thought!
Just had a quick glance at your tent dims..... looks like you'll get away with three reno 4 carpets..... less than £25!
Glad to be of help, Tubba, but I can't take all the credit, as I got the link originally from someone else on here 4 or 5 weeks ago, and took advantage myself.
Thought one might just be a little too small for our bed pod, but at £6 odd (at the time) I bought 2 just in case. Having now got a bigger tent, with bigger bed pod, I'm glad I got 2, as I lap them over to fit..... and get double thick carpet to 2/3 of the bed pod!! Happy Days, or nights, rather! :-)
For my Cabanon I got a "Outwell Minesota 6" carpet for the living area and a "Outwell Wolf Lake 5" carpet for the bedroom pod.
Took the carpets to a lady on the market, and she cut and trimmed them so they were both a perfect fit for the Cabanon. which worked out at £25 for the alterations.
The carpets were bought early 2010 as end of line items, so total spend was around £60.
The carpets work real well in the Cabanon protecting both the bedroom pod SiG and the tents ZiG, well worth the money and I have plenty of ofcuts from the re-sizing, should the carpets ever need repairing.
But the best bit is the luxrury that fitted carpets add to a tent, in a word indulgence!.
