I'm soon to be the owner of a Kampa Rally 260 (just waiting for it to arrive).

What I would like to know is....

A...Do I need an awning groundsheet?

B. If I will benefit from one, where is the best place to buy one from?

(reasonably priced)

260 x 250 size ( I believe)

THANKS in advance for any tips

in answer to your questions..

A - yes

B - B&Q will have a tarp that will do the job for a cheaper price than the camping suppliers

hope that helps & enjoy!!

are tarps breathable ?????

 

We don't use one if its a good pitch. We are quite happy without if we can and prefer to respect the grass. (don't like hard pitches). if we are pitches for a reasonable period we may run a lawn mower round the awning!

If you want one a tarp is probably good value for a short while. Some of the breathables generate a lot of worm casts.

Think I'll save my money and buy more wine instead

We bought the Kampa breathable Easy Tread Carpet. It's fine except the first time we used it at Easter when the ground was quite wet we did get wet socks when walking on it (no wormcasts or anything else though). Having searched on here I have found that it goes with the territory. It's good on hard standings though - makes it easier to walk on bare footed. Dry grass was no probem ! We bought the 250x250 for our Kampa Rally 260. I found that if you peg out the mud flaps inside first then the awning carpet fits over the edges of these.

Hope this helps,
