Hi
we are new to camping, well not been since i was a kid, and my family has just purchased a rather large (scary) campus breckenridge deluxe with the 3 bedrooms, from a 2004/5 Now i would really like a footprint, one so i can see on a pitch where its going and 2 to make it easier to pack away.
i cant find any for this particular tent, but just wondered if anyone knew of a tent thats similar in the design and that would proabaly fit? or any ideas on how to make my own thanks
any help will be apprieciated

They're only made out of tarp, dead easy to make your own, & won't cost the forty quid most manufacturers want for one!
Try a search on the forums here, we were only discussing it last week, I think.

Hi and welcome
I can only echo what nutgone has said. Chances of you getting one are slim to say the least. You can pick up large tarps from Ebay in loads of differnt sizes

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

B&Q tarps (the blue ones) come in a range of monstrous sizes and are cheap in comparison with manufacturers products.
Cut to size (around 10 to 15 cm smaller that tent footprint) and where you need to make some extra pegging points (assuming you will have removed some of the reinforced holes through cutting to size) just gaffer tape each side of the tarp for a bit of re-enforcement and then make a slit with a Stanley knife. Alternatively buy a proper hole making punch and eyelets for a better finish.
Whole job can be done in under 30 minutes.

I have just made a footprint for my gelert zenith 8 man . My recommendation would be to double turn the edges then as you go along stitch it. Makes a far better job, takes a bit of time but worth it...

Lidl this week are doing a Tarp in dark green 4m x 5m, similiar material to a FootPrint, but only £7!.
I use these for our tent, to help protect the ZiG, if the Tarp is a real mess when breaking camp, I just bin it, as I got a bunch of them from B&Q same size for £2 each a couple of years back.
