I would suggest measuring the van to determine the length.  Measure from the front of the van, where the awning rail starts, to the back of the van, where the awning rail ends.  Then add a few extra cms on, because the awning flares out slightly from the van - and that should be about right.

You normally buy breathable groundsheet off the roll, so you can always buy it a bit over length and trim it down.  The rolls usually come in 2.5m width and 3m widths, which is coincidentally (!) the standard depths of awnings.

Or you could take the awning out of the bag and measure all the way along its front panel, at the bottom edge, (where the mudwall is)

You could also give Bradcot a ring, as they would undoubtedly know the ground dimensions of their products.

- I think I bought 5.5 metres length for mine, having taken telephone advice from Dorema, which turned out to be a bit generous.  Luckily, I didn't trim it (just folded it under) and have since bought a longer van, so it still fits.
