Hi Fenboy - well I said I'd report in after this weekend and let you know how we got on with our Colorado 5 footprint!!!!

We put ours under the bedroom and it fits perfectly and therefore when putting the tent away today the underside of the bedroom was fine and we were able to fold the tent onto it still keeping it clean . However I must say that I've learned from this weekend (the ground was absolutely saturated and muddy) that I'm tempted to buy a huge tarpaulin or a footprint to go the length of the tent so that the tension straps on the living room side don't get full of mud (as ours have). 

Also can anyone help me as to why the water would be coming down the side door zip and through the gap between the tent skirt - onto the ground sheet and soaking it around the sides (I mean puddles)!!!  Carpet was soaking - Wondering whether its because we didn't have the tension right?

we have an outwell norfolk lake which has a zig but not in front porch area, we use a blue tarp from Johnstones paints it is just big enough for the full tent and comes with eyelets so you peg it down without holing it. do a search via their website for local branch and but one, got a bonanza at mo so going cheap.
