OVERALL WINNER
ISABELLA

Price: £1527-£2142

Opus
Our Awning of the Year must be the Isabella Opus, which the company launched as part of the celebrations to mark its Golden Jubilee. The Opus is a full awning which comes with the company's CarbonX frame and is designed to fit caravans with ground-to-ground measurements ranging from 850cm to 1175cm (27ft 10in-37ft 8in). It has a number of features that make it unique and lift it above the competition. These include the new IsaFix frame clamp, and windows in the front panel which vary in number depending on the size of the awning. Additionally, they comprise a combination of horizontal and vertical panes, while the curtains are horizontal, venetian slats sliding on vertical cords reach from above the windows to the ground. At present, only one colour combination is available.
