We've just hold of a nice second hand Sunncamp and we have a couple of plastic grounds shhets but these aren't the most comfortable to walk on. Any preferences to rugs or a carpet anyone?

I have extra large picnic rugs, they wash fine. Carpet for my tent not worth the money. But, I saw an easycamp small carpet on Amazon last month and sent away for one. Great size, great price and great quality. Fits my bedroom pod perfectly, now out of stock when I decided to buy another for the other pod.even emailed Easycamp So now Im searching for new extra large rugs.

Must have something warm and cosy on the floor in my opinion.

Whatever is to hand - currently 2 old tartan wool things - that used to sit on the back seat of my parent's Hillman Avenger to stop our legs sticking to the plastic seats. If I was buying new, I'd buy a fitted carpet.

Yep carpets for us.....Off cuts from our daughters stair carpet to be exact. We have edged them with some tape. We have one in the 'dressing room' (we have a Sprayway 5 so we have a dressing room.!) One in the spare bedroom and a large one in the living area. We tried the whole blanket / tent carpet / picnic rug routine but it drove me made when I tripped over the rucked up bits. We also have a door mat.! :-)

The carpets just lays on the floor of the car when in transit and are so much warmer underfoot.

I always used picnic rugs until I managed to buy an Outwell Oregon 5 carpet for the Licata 400 cheaply off eBay.
Still use picnic rugs in the bedroom pods.
