Good find, I also noticed recently these at Camp Mania, about £15 each with delivery. I ordered two for our Samara 600 instead of buying the Evoque 600 carpet (exact dimensions as the Samara living area) as recommended by Vango (at £90!)

Thanks lidds0 that Merdian 10 carpet will be perfect as a replacement for the 7 year old Outwell carpet that we use in the Cabanon, as it is just about starting to show signs of wear.

Hopefully they will be OK, although I'm not expecting too much for £13 each. The reviews of similar are OK on Amazon and they seem to be the same style as the Coleman Da Gama & Coleman Coastline carpets.

We replaced our Corvus carpet at sports direct, much cheaper, also just ordered a gelert double seat, almost half the price it is on Amazon!

Thanks for posting. Was given an old carpet that had been used by dogs that I was thinking of restoring but at this price Im not going to bother. Will fit my Hi-Gear Kalahari 8 well.

Shame delivery to store is still charged at £3.99. 8% quidco though.

The Coleman carpets arrived today, very happy for the money. £28 to cover an area 430x310 in our Vango Samara 600. The Vango Evoque carpet of 440x310 retails around £85! OK these aren't the anti pill fleece material but they are soft all the same and for what we want they will hopefully be fine, protect the groundsheet inside and make it a little more comfortable. To be honest the backing is quite nice too so we may use them that way round instead so any dirt can been wiped away more easily!

They roll up in to stuff sacks and weigh 1.8kg each which isn't much at all. Quality not bad, more than happy for £14 each

For info, there were no specs for the Meridian 8 carpet when I posted this thread, so I estimated it on the size given on another website for the living area of the tent. Sports Direct have now updated their website, to specify this carpet measures 240 x 295cm (I thought it was 250 x 300cm).

Hope this doesn't pose a problem for anyone who purchased.

(Incidentally, I have no financial interest in Sports Direct, unless it involves a bargain!)
