    I know this is probably going to annoy and I don't  mean too but if you are looking for a top class awning that will put up to the weather -Isabella?They are definitely  worth the money. Best of luck.

    Yes they are really good quality but are so expensive, although we will need it for a few years so could be worth paying the extra? We are leaning towards the Dorema as they have a 2 year warranty. Thanks for your help

    I think they are definitely  worth the extra. I bought  my 1st Isabella 2 years ago after many years of caravanning. I too thought they were expensive and indeed they are BUT when you see the difference  in quality  you understand  why. Even the curtains
    are very well made. Have you looked at the 2nd hand market at all. Pre loved, eBay, Club classifieds etc  Just a thought. I bought mine 2nd hand but it has only been erected twice so was perfect. You might drop on one for the right price.

    Hi

    Don't go for dorema or Bradcot if your site has a sniff of a breeze. I know many wardens with isabella's but having spent many winters in Spain I went for an Inaca Stela. We are in north Devon and have had some proper winds last year. It is definitely a
    year round awning and in my opinion as good as isabella. If you'd like to talk wardens awnings we will be on site (Willingcott) the end of Feb.
