 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 thisIt 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!
