Hi Rex I believe the awnings for the new Conways and Pennines are made by Isabella.Also the ne w models which are to be shown at the NEC will have an acrylic cabin also made by Isabella.Good luck with your new camper, I'm sure you'll love it we do.Cheers John.

Hi Rex.

          Interesting what you say about Cabanon cotton canvas, why would Cabanon wait until 2007 before they launched the Cotton Biscaya and only for the 370 model, which was some time after the launch of the Biscaya range, I also notice the Cotton version was with sewn-in groundsheet when first launched, and then in 2008 they go to Zipped-in groundsheet, like the rest of the range, I can only think that the Sewn in version was too big a bag to pack, also from launch the Cotton version has steel poles, not Aluminium like the other Biscaya's, probably due to the Cotton being more heavy than the Polycotton/TenCate model. the Cabanon web-site does not seem to do their products justice, but I guess that encourages folk to go and look at them in the flesh.
