Hi All, I have just noticed this new air awning from Isabella. It’s the Isabella AIR X-Tension. Here is the link https://www.isabella.net/uk/for-motorhomes/x-tension
Looks really good to me and I was hoping it might work with the Eriba awning rail height. No mention of the weight on the web site. The connection part appears to rise up towards the main awing area so my thinking is the the Eriba entrance for should not rub. Be interested to see your comments. Could this be the Ultimate One ?

Hi Colin. 2 things that struck me about the “tunnel” section. First is that its not that deep, so in that way if differs from most. Secondly the material appears a lot better quality than others. So for both those reasons I think it might not be “flappy”. As for the price, if it ticks all the boxes, how can you put a price on happiness.

This is so similar but without any tunnel. But do you need a tunnel as this is only £320

Isabella sell the tunnel section separately at £100 To me it could mean that a tunnel specific to an Eriba might be coming along?
Installation would be easy, just thread the tunnel into the awning rail then fasten(zip) ? to the inflated awning, easy and no weight lifting required!
The price is expensive though as with all Isabella products, but not far off a Walker touring that I use and much less marital stress to erect!

We have used CIT Camping in Walton on Thames for tent/awning/windbreak repairs and alterations etc.. Highly recommended, and they can post stuff. Give Martin a call there.

Hi Colin, If you look at the info on the Isabella web site, there is quite a list of different vehicles they make the “tunnel” for (inc a VW camper). So my thought/hope is that one of these might be a similar profile and height to the Eriba. Then like you say it all becomes very appealing - when you think of how easy it would be to set up. I will endeavour to call them and see if I can get any further info and maybe some details regarding the different profiles they make.

I feel the shorter the tunnel the less sag, also once zipped to the inflated awning it could be tensioned easily by moving the awning away from the van prior to pegging down.?
Isabella did sell a tunnelled inflatable for camper vans which name escapes me, at the time this was shown fitted to an Eriba on their site, however it was deep from front to back and very heavy.
There must be a sizeable market for Eriba owners and if it just requires a Eriba specific tunnel to be developed then fingers crossed it may happen!
Also with it being a “domed” roof my wife likes the idea of a pendant light in the center, priorities!!

Well done Colin, sounds promising its a great idea, one awning and variable tunnels to fit. I will keep a look out on your postings.
I also have a nice Troll if they need to confirm fit or just to test it out,no fee expected.

Just noticed the footprint dimensions, 330 x 250 depth this would fit our 2019 Troll not sure of other models?
Also I assume they will take into account the awning rail height might have to be variable according to year of manufacture.?
