We need a new awning and have decided to go for a full awning this time. As we spend five to six months of the summer away - although only in two to three week periods - what should we go for - the seasonal pitch quality or tourer?

    I would say that touring versus seasonal is a bit of red herring, there will be good and bad in both categories.  Isabella are probably the best overall quality, but are extremely expensive.  We had a Ventura Atlantic (made by Isabella but half the cost)
    and found it to be excellent in all conditions when pitched and tensioned correctly....  At today's prices ours would cost £1200 (1025cm with carbon poles) although cheaper options are available such as Bradcot and Dorema I don't know how they compare in performance,
    and I personally thought they looked a bit dated.  Get yourself down to your local caravan centre and enjoy debating the pros and cons of each option... happy shopping... Money Mouth

    Agree with above about Isabella but to expensive for the amount of time we use van so settled for a nr awning has served us well over the last five years, sadly no longer in business

    I have a Bradcot full awning and a Isabella minor porch, both faultless in my opinion.
