Has anybody got the carpet for the Vango Palena 600 DLX? Just wanting to know what size it is. I currently have a carpet for a Khyam Ontario 8 - which measures 3.1m x 3.5m. Wondering if this will fit and save me having to buy a new one.

I have the same question roughly. Stupidly forgot to take a tape measure with me when we pitched it this weekend, but I think the Palena living room is probably about 3.5m x 3.65m (that is the width of the tent as shown on the dimension illustrations).

I pitched the tent at the weekend and I also forgot to measure the space in the living area. However I did put down the carpet for the Khyam Ontario, it didn't quite fit, there was about 30 or so cms of space not covered by the carpet down one side. Certainly something I think I can live with. I would agree that the space is about the dimensions you gave.

Thanks hulmerist. That is good to know. I will stick with picnic rugs for the time being but maybe keep my eyes open for a Khyam Ontario going cheap (or a Palena one obv!)

I have only just joined the site so apologies if you have found a carpet. I had the correct carpet but due to a roof bag malfunction lost the carpet on a trip. However according to the box it came in the carpet was 305cm x 375cm. I'm now using a Vango universal carpet which is slightly smaller at 260cm x 360cm but fits the lounge area well.
