Well we have a couple of the DreamTime XL's, which of course come with the cover, but it's good now that you can get the cover on it's own, to upgrade lesser SIM's.

Also the cover will no doubt have the fastening straps, so that you can connect two SIM's together to make a double.

Although at £83 for the cover, that's only £36 short of the £119 that I paid for each of our to DreamTime XL's.

Hi Ellesbelles.

                     I take out the SIM so to give the covers a wash, and air the Foam insert, before we go, probably not required, or advised for that matter, but it's just part of our pre-launch routine now.

The DreamTime XL SIM section is slightly wider (76cm)  than the Basecamp XL (73cm), having just had a look at the SIM in my DreamTime it does appear to be a specific SIM as printed on the SIM section is "DreamTime XL 3408".

The DreamTime XL has 2 air valves, not sure if the Basecamp XL is the same, so that could be another difference, between the two SIM's.

I could not tell you the thickness of the DreamTime XL SIM section alone, as there is no way of measuring it, the stated 9cm of course includes all three components, SIM, Cover and Foam insert.

hope that helps.

Hi Ellesbelles1.

                       I got the width measurements from the ThermaRest (aka Cascade Designs) website.

So it's hard to say weather the DT XL SIM, is the same as the BC XL SIM, at a guess I would say they are, from your findings, could be worth putting a call into Cascade, to get the definative answer on that one.

DK,

They are bulky, but give a really good night's sleep.

On grass they are nearly as comfortable as my waterbed!

Hi Ellesbelles1.

                      They need telling about that, clearly both are 30" or 76.2cm in new money.

And maybe you are correct in thinking that the BC XL and DT XL, SIM's are both one in the same?.
