What’ about the Isabella Shadow ??. We have just bought one and will be trying it out the coming weekend. For longer stays we use the Vango Hex Away.

hi Monoboard
We have just used our newly bought lightweight SunnCamp Swift Verao 260 Low van awning that fits really well on our Troll for 3 nights in a windy West Ayton C & M Club site near Scarborough and it held up well.and looked good. It was quite easy and quick to put up.
It is very lightweight but only cost £159. For the two of us there was plenty of room. We took our Isabella Shadow with us just in case but were happy with the Swift

PS I will post some pictures later in the week.

That Sunncamp awning looks just the thing. On the Sunncamp website it is even shown on an Eriba which earns it extra points! It says there that it's designed to fit into most fitted wind out blinds. I'm not sure if our van has a suitable one. I attach a couple of pictures and wonder if anyone knows. I'm not able to get to the van at the moment.

Hi Monoboard
I am no expert on this in any way but I seem to recall that the next one up from the Swift 260 was 330 and was too long to fit on our 540 troll so would be too long for your 320.
We found that the 260 was a good size for the two of us and bigger than our other AL Porch Awning. We took some photos on site last week but I think they are on my wife's phone and she is out at the minute.. When she is back I will try to post them.
I would stress to you that it is a lightweight awning. We will probably be switching to our Kampa for our next trip to Wales, when we are staying for a week and so it is worth the time erecting the bigger awning.
Cheers

I thought a lot of canopies had a 4mm awning track groove in them. The Summcamp has a dual size awning chord so could fit.

Hi Monoboard.
If it's just for occasional trips going into winter you might want to consider a Sunncamp lodge 200. It has a sewn in groundsheet and fits awning rails up to 240 cm high. It has also a 2 X 2m base with a extra 1 metre tunnel to the van. Anyway, here's a link:

Does look a great little awning. I checked our canopy the other day and as Colin says above it does have an awning channel on a rail accessed under the cover. Nice to know and thanks for the heads-up. 👍🏼
