I went shopping yesterday for a tent carpet for my Khyam Ontario 8 and i cam home with 2 picnic blankets 2 travel rugs, A double airbed, a new mummy sleeping bag for the smallest of our children, and a brand new Vango Aplha 300 tent.

I still didn't get tent carpet, so i guess i am now using the travel rugs

i don't even need a nother tent, but we now have a small one for OH to go for fishing weekends with his brother, and for us to have romantic weekends.

i'm not sure how romantic a tent that has been used to store fishing equipment can be but you never know lol

When hubby goes shopping, i tell him to keep hands in pockets. Then he cant carry or buy anything.

oh i'll still get my tent carpet don't you worry finnboy

Will just take a little bit of time, and i'll just buy it and put it in with all the stuff we take with us, and then he'll never know, well not until we get there.

I know that next time i go i'll go on my own and that way i cannot be distracted at all.

Having said that i am very happy with all i got, although i want more before we go away.

we went away twice last year and i didn't have half of the stuff i have now, i'm beginning to think i may need some extra storage both for the car and at home.

i know when i looked the weekend, it was £50 also, but it is worth noting that the ontario has the same size internally as the quebec 8, indiana 8 and kansas8 so it might be woth searching for the carpet for those models also and seeing if you can find them cheaper anywhere else.

I think for now tho i would be happy with my blankets for the floor, unless of course i find one that i cannot say no too, which shouldn't be too hard

Have you been to camping and general at canvey island they have a huge display of tents including ours(i see we are the same), they have lots of things on offer at the moment, sadly tho our carpet isn't one them.
