Just wandering what the largest awning on the market is for depth. We need as much space as possible!

I was going to say I saw a big 3m awning on a caravan at Beaumaris last year - it was massive. I'm fairly certain the owner said it was an Isabella.

There are some wierd and wonderful shaped awnings, but if you are looking for the 'traditional' shape, then 3m is generally the biggest depth. There are a variety of awnings that come in this size: the Apache Buckingham; Pyramid Orion; Ventura Pacific 300; Inaca Mirage 300; Isabella Commodore Alpha Royal; Isabella Opus 300;

There are the odd one or two larger at 3.5m: Dorema President Vario 350 with the option of turning the front bit into a sort of porch; the Quest Palace (which looks a bit similar to the President in so far as you can indent one bit of it); Isabella Penta; Isabella Penta Concept; Isabella Forum;

Isabella have brought out a 4m awning, but as far as I can tell 1m of it may be a canopy - it's called the Isabella Vision Awning 2010 and they have them (or can get them) at Derby Caravans.

When purchasing a large awning, always remember to consider you would need to find a pitch which able to take it.

You can get isabella ones that are 350 deep, as well as the 3m orion ones.
Orion 3m doesnt appear to have a very good rep , I read they sag at the roof, not enough support and poor quality, but they are cheap .
The isabellas are very expensive and excellent quality, so I guess you get what you pay for.
I have seen some on seasonal pitches that have the option of using as normal depth awning or adding the extra depth on as well.
I wouldn't fancy putting one of these huge ones up for weekends , great for long stays or a seasonal pitch though.
