Having purchased a Virginia 5 at the end of last year, I've gone to buy the carpet and found the same as 'Scout79' ie it's now impossible to source. I've spoken to staff at Yeomans who told me that they're reducing the number of lines that they stock, deciding to sell the Vango Icarus 500 instead of the Virginia. As the Virginia was sold exclusively by Yeomans, there's nowhere else to buy it from. Staff in the store at the weekend checked their stock levels and stated that some stores are still showing stock. So, the best way to get hold of one is to drop in to a store and see if they can transfer a carpet for you.
Alternatively, they told me that the nearest match is the carpet for the Bear Lake 4. However, this seems to sell for around £65, significantly more than the Virginia carpet was selling for. Having had a look around, it seems that the carpet for the Vango Icarus 500 is a similar size, so I don't know whether this is any good as an alternative ?
