Hi!

We are awaiting arrival of our Gelert Albury 8 tent (I gather this is like the Gelert Quebec 8). As we are first-time campers I would like to make it as comfy and homely as possible for us and the kids and woul like a tent carpet.

Does anyone know the cheapest place for one specifically for this tent.. or if any others will fit ok?

Also same question for the matching porch extension/canopy type thing- where is the cheapest place?

Hope you can help, have seen a few things when searching on Google but guessed you lot might be able to help!

We have the Gelert Quebec and, on the advice of another member (Milly) we purchased the Khyam sun porch. I'm not sure if the Gelert Horizon canopy will fit - best to ring the tent manufacturers and double check as I was told it would not fit into place correctly.

As for carpet - I purchased an Outwell Minnesota 6 carpet from Ebay (seller: The Camping Warehouse) for £40, cut it in 1/2 and placed both parts in the bedroom areas, then I use picnic mats in the lounge area.

Hope that answers some of your questions.
