Advice on awning size

[Whittakerr]

Hi All
I’ve just been offered a great deal on an Isabella full awning. According to The handbook, the caravan, a Swift Challenger 570 (2010) has an “A” – “A” measurement of 1020. The awning I’ve been offered is 1015 and Isabella’s web site recommends 1025. As the caravan size is right in the middle of the 2 sizes I’m tempted to go for it.
What do you think?

From my personal experience i have always gone smaller than what Isabella say.
The measurement is on a perfectly flat pitch, im a bit confused on your awning size though as they tend to be 1000, 1025 etc ie unless this awning has been altered?
If the awning you are being offered is 1015 then you are 5 cms out which seems a pretty good match?

Awning sizes rarely fit to manufacturers sizes, Mine for once at 1050 was spot on. In your case there is so little in it I would say you will be absolutely fine. The increments often allow for 25 each way so 5 is well within. What a very odd size though. would expect 975, 1000, 1025 and so on. Never heard of an awning being 1015

Hi guys
The Isabella size is 1015, Checked it on their website.
I went to the caravan over the weekend and measured the A - A size, not the easiest thing to do, it was actually 1017. Anyway took the plunge today and collected an Isabella Commodore concept. Got a good deal on it and traded in an Inaca awning at a good price.
I got the deal from Lowdhams in Huddersfield. Seems like a good dealer but Huddersfield’s is not the easiest town to drive through! Hilly with narrow streets, some still had cobbles!

Sounds like you managed to get a good deal, if you look after it they will last for years
