     hi. i have been looking for a footprint for this tent but have been unable to locate one. and was wondering if there was any other footprints that would be suitable to use with this tent

Hi Julesy,

No the 400xp is unique in its shape and size and a footprint needs to fit under the inner tent otherwise when it rains water will gather between the ground sheet and footprint so the larger 600xp for example wont work.

Your best bet although a bit time consuming is to get a large builders tarpaulin and lay it on the floor then pitch the 400 on top of it, inner only, then mark around the tent so that the new footprint is just under the groundsheet and not extending out beyond the inner. Take down the tent and then cut the tarp about an inch outside of your markings, this is so you can fold and glue the ends over to the original line and then pop a few snap eyelets in the tarp on the corners and you have a footprint.

Hope this helps or if not happy hunting on ebay !!

  thanks.

      i have been searching for a few weeks now ,and looks like i will have to make my own footprint.........

Hi wondered if you found a footprint for the diablo 400xp as  I want one too but the thought of putting the tent up twice to make it is filling me with dread as took us an hour to put it up on our first attemot (I know these amateur campers!).
