Looking for a footprint for a Vango Monte Verde 900 - the size is 7.5 m x 5 m.

Cannot find one anywhere - looks like they are discontinued. Does anyone know of an alternative that's a similar (preferably the same) size?

I keep looking on ebay, but so far haven't found anything even remotely close.

I already tried using a regular tarp instead, which was bigger. However, it was much thinner, the eyelets for the pegs ripped, and as it threw it down with rain when we put the tent up, and the tarp was bigger, loads of water collected underneath, which obviously defeated the purpose of having it!

If I did use another tarp, it would need to be much thicker, but I don't want to spend too much (single parent, so don't have loads of money to spend on any more camping stuff).

I would consider possibly getting two groundsheets/footprints that are half the size, to put side by side, but I still haven't found anything remotely suitable sizewise!

Any useful suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thank you

The hi gear kalahari 10 footprint is close. The tent is 710cm by 400cm. The corado 8 would be a better fit but footprints for those are like hen's teeth.

In fact the vango amazon 800
footprint is a fairly good fit too.

I've got one for the 700 version but think its 7.5 x 4 so a little short on the width I think
