Sorry for posting again about this issue, but i'm struggling a bit.
Does anyone own this tent carpet and could you give me the exact dimensions - i can't find them anywhere on the internet.

I have looked at the dimensions of the tent to get an approximate idea of what it might be, but as i'm new to this i'm not quite sure if my figures are correct. I can't afford to pay 63 quid for the proper one, but have seen other carpets on ebay, and want to choose the closest possible in size.

The carpet is 255 x 335 cm with a small split along the back edge in the middle where the inner tent clips to the floor.

Hi

You might find a 2011 carpet will do the job, ok it will be about 6 inches to narrow dow each side but you should be able to find one for about £30 if you look hard or ring around a few vango stockists.

Remember when buying another make's carpet to check out the floor plan of the tent as they sometimes sell them with a width and a length dimension but fail to tell you if they actually narrow at the front. If you check out the floor plan of the tent you will find out whether the carpet is actually square/rectangular or not.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
