Hi Zoe, welcome to UKCS.
There are bargain carpets here
http://www.campervanaccessories.co.uk/royal-reno-tent-carpet-p-9854.html?osCsid=5de842a231a376bad198f7fc100a1ea5
The Explorer measures 300x260
The Reno measures 300x235, bargain for £6.11

For the footprint I would get a cheap tarp and cut to size or fold under.

-------------
Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

I bought 4 carpets from the above website last year...the Seattle one I think. They are a bit like giant picnic blankets and are fantastic at keeping the tent cosy. Amazing for the price when you look at how much the 'proper' carpet for a tent can cost.

bought a lightweight groundsheet for use as a footprint for my little Lichfield, I'm now considering carpet as both parts of the tent have bathtub SIGs and muck is easier removed from an extra layer than inside the 'tub'

Currently considering using what's in the 'makes' cupboard, a length of black waterproof PU coated polyester for the backing. Thinking of then stitching to it - 1, a piece of towelling by each door for doormats, and 2, a length of poly fleece in the centre for 'cosy'  but not sure yet what to use as a non-slip backing

Will no doubt be stitching through the waterproof layer in criss cross fashion as it's not essential to stay fully waterproof



-------------
Still trying to get the packing right.

Hi,

There are some great prices on carpets. The manufacturers don't make it easy for you to compare living areas, obviously because they want you to buy the carpet specifically designed for the tent.

Can anyone tell me what the Royal carpets are like?

Thanks K

All the royal carpets weve had have been good quality in fact to my mind better than most other brands
