Hi all,
I have just git my first caravan and I got a second hand awning with it looks. I am having a few issues being that I have no instructions and I have never put one up. The make is isabella capri lux.
What i need to know is what bit of the awning do I feed on as there seems to be two parts that could fit the big beed with fabric round it and the other just below it a small white bees like a soft plastic?
And I can't seem to get it to go past a join in the rail on the top any help would be great.

The larger bead goes into the awning rail and the smaller one takes the fittings into which the poles fit.

This might help. You can download the instructions.

I think there is a video on Youtube too.

The youtube video link below should be helpful in to erecting an awning. However, make sure you don't feed the awning into the rail inside out so make sure that the manufacture logo is on the outside and the curtain rail attachments are on the inside.

Awning rails become grubby inside over time spray some furniture polish in the channel and it will slide through easier, if it still get stuck at a join in the rail its likely that the rail has been removed at sometime and now is slightly out of align, so try sliding in from the other end of the caravan. Slide the awning round until it looks even at each end. the Isabella is a great awning and you should have with it 3 little blocks probably grey in colour these you slide on the other bead one at each end other in the middle these are what you attach your poles to, the hook on the pole hooks into the slot on the block when you padjust the pole to its tension the block is pressed against caravan wall

If it gets stuck in the same place there may also be a blob of sealant in the channel. It will cut away with a sharp knife

Thanks all. I finally got it in and found that the awning was short by 1m so waiting to get another one. The issues with the rail was sealant so managed to get it past. Thanks again everyone.
