Hi,

Am thinking of getting a 3 metre deep awning & just wondered if anyone had had any problems pitching on sites with one? Or for that matter any other problems?  The reason we would like one is just for that little bit of extra space.

Am looking at either an Isabella Opus 300 or Isabella Commordore Royal 300. Has anyone got any experience of either of these models?

We bought a Isabella Opus 300 for our new caravan. We have only put it up a couple of times as a practice before we take it away this summer. It is our first Isabella and we are very impressed with it. We have the Carbon X poles which were easy to put up and tension. We haven't even bothered to colour code them as it is pretty obvious where they go.

We have mentioned that it is 3m deep to the sites we are going to this summer and no one was bothered at all. The size is also ok on both club's sites.

Ohhh that's the awning I am leaning towards. They look so spectacular. The only part that concerns me are the side ventilation panels as they are only half size & they don't roll up they just are pegged open. Would be interested to know if they let in enough air?

I would have thought you would be OK on most sites, but personally I wouldn't go any bigger.  I'd have one given half the chance.
