Hi AA i can't speak for the Shadow but we have the Eclipse which we got as an extention to our Magnum 250 Coal.The advantage it fits to the van without the Magnum just like the Shadow.It works perfectly and is so easy to put up,just one piece of advice
if you went for the Eclipse get it checked out before buying.The one we bought from dealers in Bawtry had to be returned from CL in Lincoln due to fault.I hate to say this but i do think that Isabella's quality control as gone down hill and we are dedicated
Isabella fans.Steve

We bought a 4m one earlier this year just for short stays. Quick, light and easily erected. We have used it twice so far and it's been good for what we wanted to use it for. I would say that it does require some attention during heavy rain, we had to
lower the end poles significantly to get water to run off the awning as it seemed to 'pool' behind the front edge. Other than that it's been fine.0 -
Thanks for your replies.

We have had one 3.6 metre since 2002 and have been so pleased that we a few years back got a 4 metre one plus the front net.Often when abroad they are deployed each side.
In heavy rain I just remove the centre pole over night or if out for the day, as a quick fix that ensures no pooling. Lay the pole on the ground by the wheel and reset the guy cleat, a few seconds job eachway if needed.

We bought one at the Manchester caravan show, last winter. We used it this summer in France, and are well pleased with it. It's very lightweight, packs away to a very small bulk and is really easy to put up and take down.
The weather was really good, so I don't know how it would perform in the wet and windy, but as a sun canopy it is ideal.

Thank you to everyone who replied.

Well I've bought one, it will be used as an extension to our Isabella Minor porch awning (the caravan is long enough to take both), mainly for sitting under and cooking. It will hopefully save us having to take the full awning with us.

We recently bought a Shadow canopy with a sun visor for the front following a trip to France where we found our awning just too hot. we've used it a couple of times in the UK and found that it's excellent, in my mind quality materials (as you would expect
from Isabela) that easily stand up to our UK weather and easy to erect. Although we would take it down should the wind pick up but rain isn't a problem. We did look at a few before buying and felt that it was well priced and the better quality.0 -
Picked it up over the weekend, what a superb quality product, thanks everyone for their feedback.

Been to a site in mid Wales for 8 days, the weather was mixed but the Shadow took it all in it's stride.
