Just bought our sunncamp mondial 1600 and getting together other bits and pieces along the way.

Hope we can draw on everyone's knowledge regarding groundsheets.The mondial has a SIG, but have noticed on this site that some still use a groundsheet. My question is should we just use a tarpaulin or should we use a breathable groundheet. All advice appreciated

Hi , As it is only to keep the bottom of the sig clean, a cheap tarp will do,B&Q builders tarps are the cheapest i've found, used them for years.

 the breathable ones cost an arm and a leg, and are bulky too.

Whatever you do, make sure that it's slightly smaller than the tent, as if its bigger, the rain will run in and make a puddle between  the two layers.

thanks all

glad 2 hear that the b&q tarpaulin would do the job.  Its so good that if there's something you're not sure of, you know that someone out there in UKCS land will have the answer.
