Hello everyone

Thinking of getting a carpet for my Ontario  8 as have seen some in other tents in camping shops and it looks really cosy.  I have four youngsters and wondered if anyone has one and if they are worth the money also if they stand up well to the adverage camping trip with kids ect ie do they wash.  Also any ideas about where I can get the best price on one.  Have seen one on outdoor megastore but they have the same tent by the look of it called by a different name and a carpet to fit it.  Is it the same do you think? Any advice appreciated

Best wishes Maria

I've just got the Kansas 8 from Outdoor Megastore, I ordered the carpet at the same time.

They sent me an Outwell carpet, and not the Khyam one, claiming it was exactly the same size, and would be fine. It was a lot smaller, and I was pretty grumpy with them.

They didn't have any proper Khyam carpets, I ended up ordering one from World of tents I believe.

As for the carpet - highly recommended, we needed the warmth, as we've been away already. It also protects the SIG nicely, especially if you've got chairs etc "indoors"

My two kids love it, and quite happily lie on the floor and draw etc.

Its quite big when packed though.

I got a free bag with my Khyam. I've now split the tent across these two bags. The flysheet, poles, pegs and hammer - ie everything needed to pitch are in one.

All the bedrooms, carpet, and a few folding storage things are in the other, the system works well. My 10year old daughter enjoys setting out the bedrooms etc, so I can just throw her the 2nd bag, and she gets on with it :-)
