If your willing to use one vestibule completely as storage you can easily store a couple of packs and keep them dry. have done it many times.

Just measured the width of it and it is approx 120cm but the sides are another 110cm each. so like shearer said I would have thought you'd be able to fit two side by side. The biggest problem is the slippery floor. You have to be careful that you pitch it on flat ground else the modern mats slide around on the silnylon.

Thanks for measurements, never know if you can quite trust the manufacturer ones. In saying that, our Exped mats are 65cm wide each according to Exped. So we need 130cm's. I should have measured them to make sure but I've just left for Aus again.

You're saying that the bath-tub floor can fold out flat?

Seems we'd be pushing it with the Double Rainbow and may go for one of the other wider models.
