Hi All

The OH and I were having a heated discussion in good old Go Outdoors the other day and we decided that in order to solve it we would see what you thought.

We have a Caplan 5 tent that we love but are wondering if we need to fork out £36 for a carpet for it to protect the flooring? We have used it for a few years now and are not sure if we need on or not.

Does everyone buy carpets for their tents? Or does it really matter, when looking at the carpet it didn't seem much cop, more like a picnic blanket - I'm now wondering if a good old cheap picnic blanket would do the job?

Can I have you thoughts on the matter

Much love

Laa

We're faced with a £85 cost for the Kampa carpet though

Take a look at the Utah 4 carpet here - We have a Filey and I bought a Utah 4 carpet and cut off one side.  £50 plus P&P

The Utah 6 carpet will cut down like this as well though you'll also have to shorten the remaining part...   £55 plus P&P
