To asses the size of your awning , measure from ground to ground around the awning rail of your van

Hi Heidi.
Once you have determined the size for your awning I would recommend Buying a good quality second hand one rather than a cheap new one. Issabella and Trio been a couple of the best, in my opinion but That was in my caravan days.
All the best

Hi Heidi

According to the Isabella database, your van's A-measurement is 913cm.  If you bought an Isabella awning, their nearest size recommended for you is a 925cm.

Other makes have slightly different sizes available - you should aim for a size which is closest to 913cm.  Too big and it will be saggy and baggy, too small and you will have trouble pegging it down to the ground.

If you are buying a used one, I would recommend going for one of the top brands such as Isabella, Trio, Ventura etc,.  They last forever if well cared for because most people only use them for 2 or 3 weeks a year.

- By the way, typing in capitals is considered to be 'virtual shouting' in online forums, so it's best to avoid it - unless you intend shouting!!!
