I quite fancy one of the canopy's but at 290 quid I couldn't face it having just shelled out for the awning, perhaps nearer the summer months when I can sit out and enjoy it.

We have a Swift Charisma 2011. We checked with Isabella guidebook to see if the Magnum would fully cover our window before purchasing it. Check with them via your local supplier, they will have a list of vans it will fit without cutting across a window.

We've had ours for about six years now and love it. I can put it up on my own (smirk), although a bit of wifely help at certain points speeds things up. It fitted our last two vans perfectly (waiting to try it out on the new Valencia, but it looks quite workable) and gave us loads of room for the bits and pieces.

There's a YouTube video on the Web showing how to assemble it - just google for "Isabella Magnum video".

Alternatively, just chuck all the bits on the ground and look bewildered - you'll make lots of new friends!

Glad to hear you love your Isabella. We are away at the moment and like you, found it to be quite easy to errect. Hubby thought the instructions were a little disappointing for an Isabella, but the quality of the design meant we easliy worked it out. I helped by pole passing and pointing to where the table and chairs should go. lol. Hubby worked out curtain clips fix to grey material strip above window, he had to use a pair of pliers to close each one after trying with his fingers, which got very sore. I popped the little round discs into the curtain holes (from the back of the curtain) and then popped the disc into the already attached curtain clips. VOILA!!!!! and there we have it. Thankfully Isabella have provided spare clips and discs. I must say it looked the business when we had finished. I know  its a large expense, but we view it as an investment. Only one gripe, the wheel cover has three poppers. What do they pop on to????. If you click onto my image gallery we have downloaded a couple of pics that may help.

Hi Tabatha. I'm not going to even bother with the wheel cover, I've invested in a draft stoppa, looking forward to trying it out next weekend. Pictures useful for curtains, thanks and I see you have the quest sandringham chairs like us.
