the sun valley 8 groundsheet would be ok I think though not quite as wide. Also the carpet would be a similar size.

I think its because they no longer make the Indiana 8. My mate has one though and she puts down an eco groundsheet.

You could always buy a tarp for a footprint groundsheet.

I'm sure the Indiana 8 was replaced by the Sun Valley 8 but then the Sun Valley 8 changed in 2008. Maybe a footprint for the SV8 pre 2008 would fit. Failing that the SV8 2008 is just a rectangle shape or you could just get a tarp - but some of the cheap ones are not all that good. If cost is no object then pond liner is very good - it is good at insulating as well as keeping the water out (some cheap tarps let water through if the ground is really soaking wet).

We had one and put a basic B&Q tarp under the bedrooms and bucket groundsheet to seal that part of the ground sheets, saves having to clean the bedroom pods and groundsheet after taking it home.. I also added storm flaps to the back part of the tent using matching polyester, to keep the draughts out!

We found the SV8 carpet fits really well, especially as it has the hole for the 3rd bedroom clip.

Great tent though!! will hold up to a good strong wnd if pitched well!!

Have fun in your indi.

The Indiana has a riser/bathtub groundsheet I think which is probably why there are no extras plus as said it's been discontinued (which I think is a shame as it was a cracking tent).

I'm pretty sure it was the same size as the equivalent Montana models so that might be worth a look.

with a riser groundsheet you don't really need a footprint as you can detach the groundsheet from the tent unlike a SIG.

Taunton Leisure are currently selling the 2007 Outwell Indiana 8 and I saw one set up there with a carpet. Might be worth contacting them to see if they have any stock of carpets or groundsheets?
