    Gosh - wish this post was here this morning! We saw one at Knowepark in Livinston today, it was either £110 or £150 but I can't remember the make. It looked similar shape to the Kampa Fiesta (but without the front panels obviously!). Commented on how it
    would be ideal if we were abroad. Sorry for not being much help!

    We`ve just bought another Isabella Shadow simply because its so easy to put up (five minutes), really its just a flat canopy on two or three poles depending on length but withstands reasonably strong winds without a problem. At first glance not that cheap
    but well made, carbon poles and very light to carry.

    One that lives rolled up on the van rail or one you erect on site 'One'?

    We had a sun canopy from NR Awnings for three seasons but it's finally given up the ghost. Coped well abroad but was very flappy in the british 'breeze'. We have just bought an Isabella SunShine and will be roadtesting it Scotland next week. 

    If you search for Isabella Sunshine here on the caravan club website you'll find the thread I started last year. We got some very good responses and advice.

    I just tried and you're right. No results. Another triumph for Club Together...

    Got a suncamp swift door sun canopy, lightweight and quick and easy to set up. Had four of us around the table in it, that's about the limit though, sides are a nice touch.

    I posted this originally in 2014

    I have a Fiamma Sunstore 340

    Not designed to leave on caravan when travelling but so easy to erect this presents no problem

    However : I will now share my "BONUS" use

    I have fastened a strip of awning rail over the patio doors at home and now the use of my "Sun ( rain ) Canopy" has been increased multifold
