Last year we bought a Coleman carpet - about £25 ish - far to big for our Oakland XL and set about measuring living area first, then had enough to make 2 runners for the bedroom.  Took a lot of patience and room!  I just pinned and machined it into shape with an edging tape (Hobbycraft) - having said that other members said that they just got some sticky edging tape and just ironed it on and worked perfectly. 

So just a thought - but you do have to have patience as they are rather large - good luck with that!

Is wall to wall fitted carpet really necessary in a tent?

I read somewhere (probably on here), that some people are using the cheap foil backed picnic rugs, as carpets. They are both cheap and warm, the foil backing keeps the cold out ( but don't quote me on that me old mucker).

Personally i don't use anything on the inside of the tent, due to having the dogs coming in and out all the time, it would be a mess in no time.
