Which Awning?

[Stephen_5122599]

I am about to take delivery of a new Elddis Crusader Superstorm and will be buying an awning for it. However before I part with my hard earned cash I would like some advice on which awning represents the best value for money. I know Isabella awnings are considered to be the best but the price is a bit too high for me. The cheapest Acrylic awning I have found so far is Pyramid Corsican, has anyone had any experience of these, and are they any good?

Secondly what type of frame would you recomend?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Steve

Stephen, have a look at the Inaca awnings, in particular the Sands model. I have owned one of these for some time and they are quality products. The fibre frame is exactly the same as used on the Isabella products. We currently have a 1000cm awning for the Oklahoma and it was several hundred pounds cheaper than the Isabella. Only downside is that they are only available through the Barrons dealerships.

Hi Stephen

Definately Isabella if you plan to use the awning all year round for a number of years, we have Isabella full awning from 1999 away being enlarged at the moment, but we also use a Ventura awning 850 size as a large porch on our twin axle. I think the Ventura awnings are a susiduary of Isabella made in Poland, we like the FGlass frame.

I brought a new Corsican awning for my 6 birth elddis wisp 2 months ago with standard poles. It was about
