This isn't the answer you want - I'd buy a cheaper one and spend the difference on more touring!

If you were going to buy an Isabella full awning for touring, long weekends and the summer 2-3 week break which one would you buy

I agree with 'chilephilly' above.  (I'd buy a cheaper one and spend the difference on more touring!)

If money is not a problem definately Isabella

It looks a lovely awning, but I wonder how practical I would find it for touring. Do you ever have difficulty in finding a big enough pitch?

We went to the NEC to but a full Isabella awning. We came away with the large porch with annex and canopy at the front.

It just gives us more scope to use what we want as we need it. We only ever really need a full one for our main holiday. But this porch setup is almost as big!!

Kev.

We splashed out on a Opus 300 to fit our new van and love it! Very straight forward to put up (has the carbon poles) and the extra depth makes all the difference. We picked up last year's model at 40% off. Was still £1k though! We intend keeping this van for a long time but Isabella do hold their prices quite well if we need to sell.

I'm not sure we could go back to any other make of full awning now! We do have a Kampa Rally 390 for weekends and short breaks although it doesn't take us much longer to put up the Isabella. It is more for the practicalities of drying the material if it has to be packed away wet.

I am with the majority here that a full awning is too much for touring or long weekends. a 2-3 week break is ideal for a full awning.

Not sure if you are aware, but Isabella also have a slightly cheaper range - Ventura
