we are changing the van in approx sept for a swift 620 special dealer edition. so we will be changing the awning aswell and we will need a 1050.

could you give us your advice on what make you have, how you find the pole system and quality etc etc?.

Hi jo anne

We have Ventura awning, have had Isabella in the past, but find the Ventura easier to put up, as the fabric is lighter weight, also have the IXL poles,we have a TA and found the full awning was not always needed for weekends, and porch was too small, now use a 950 awning which comes about3/4 along the van from back to front, plenty of space, and leaves an area at the front of the van to sit or have barbecue, bought our Ventura from e bay, never been used, and paid less than half the new price.Only extra you need to buy is a corner pole to fit awning to van.

we have the Apache awning where all the front poles are joined with clips, we find this annoying and would rather go back to single poles whith the colour codes on them. the quality of the awning is great. have spoke to a few people with the same style of awning poles and they have said the same

good luck hope you find the right awning for your need.
