A new Isabella Seed with Carbon fibre poles in the right size for Nigel's van can be got for £1900. Nigel is looking at RRP. which of course no one pays.
Better still Niggel get an Air awning. Don't have o alter it at all when you change van.

The thing I have always found with Isabella is the prices are pretty even across the board. Almost as if some price fixing is going on. Are OPEC involved in awning sales?
