Hiya, We bought our first caravan in Feb and it came with an Isabella Capri Lux grey awning size 850 (approx year 1995-1997). We are looking for a bedroom annex to attach to it, we emailed Isabella who were brilliant and informed me that they don't manufacture the annex to fit our awning anymore but i would be able to buy one second hand and that i would need an Isabella pre-unicut one. I haven't got a clue what that type of annex looks like? there are so many out there, sizes 220, 250 and 300? the zip length on our end panel is 210 inches/533 cms.
Does anyone know which one i need?
i've attached a few photos of our awning.
Not good at uploading photos but hope this works! This is a Capri Lux awning I owned a few years ago complete with annex. The 200 250 300 refers to the width of the awning. Ours was a 250cm awning. You need to make sure any second hand one you look at has OPTI zips and is either an Isabella or possibly a Ventura awning which are generally cheaper. They are generally labelled Pre-unicut.
Kerry, not sure where in the Midlands you are based but I bought that annexe at Broad Lane Leisure in Warwickshire and I am fairly certain it is a Ventura annex. They may be able to give you some more help.
I doubt any dealers will stock a pre- uncut annex - unless they have some used ones- as the model is getting on a bit now. Best to check on the free ads on here plus Preloved, Gumtree, Ebay and FB sales etc. It's essential you get a pre-unicut 250 as no others will fit (unless you get a universal annex, but they don't zip in so nowhere near as good).

Thankyou, i will have another search around. They're like gold dust to find.

Lidds0 I wasn't suggesting that Broad Lane would be able to supply one, but I have found them helpful with advice. I bought a new one but it was a good few years back and I needed it in a hurry.
