. While at Lowdhams Notts yesterday I come across the Isabella - Shadow touring sun canopy. Looked very strong and light and was advised the 3 metre was best for my Troll 540. Price is £139.00 plus £3.50 postage direct from Isabella, Does anyone have one or recommends a better one ? Thanks in anticipation . Paul.

Hello Paul,
I have the Shadow 240 for my Familia 310. They are really good and simple to erect.

I also have one for my Familia 320,it's a great piece of kit ,well made and very easy to put up and down.I use mine for short breaks instead of the porch awning.

Hi Paul, this is one of the best pieces of kit we've got. It is sturdy and strong even in very heavy wind and torrential rain...we usually drop the poles in the rain to allow the water to run off. We also bought bespoke wind proof netting for the sides and front and use is when touring all the time. We only use the awning if we are staying 4 nights or more. Buy it you'll not regret it

Thank you all for your views, I shall get one. Just can't wait for weather to improve to try van and awning out. Christmas outing was cancelled at last minute when I tore muscle in my back, all hitched up and ready to go. Now all empty and water drained and waiting to get fit for the big day again. Paul.

They have a Troll 540 at Lowdhams which I and the sales assistant measured and he said the 3500 would not be suitable because the awning rail goes horizontal around the corners instead of going down on other caravans and would pull out when under tension and although the 3 metre would be a bit short it would stay secure. Hope this makes sense. Regards, Paul.

This looks like a good buy too and at £75 with poles a good price

We didn't realise until we looked it up that Ten Cate refers to the company and not the type of fabric.
