I put the awning up for the first time today,(no divorce) but have a question.
I need to get an annex, but how do I know what size to get?
My awning is an Isebella Capri with zip out sections at either end and two on the front.
Do I need to measure the zip size on one of the ends ?

Thanks

Check with isabella website, I am sure yours is a 2.4m wide awning. Make sure the annex is for a 2.4m one and preferably compatible with the isabella capri.
Good hunting!!

If the awning is 3 metres deep then the doors at either end (some only have one at the front) will most likely zip up one side, across the top then down the other side to the floor. If it's a 2.4 metres deep awning then the door will zip up on the outer side and across the top with the remaining side (adjacent to caravan) being fitted independently via an awning cord that slides up the awning rail and connects to the upper part usually by means of a plastic clip. Depending on which of the two types of awning you have will depend on the what annexe is required as the fitment needs to be the same (as above). Some people think that an annexe is universal providing that the zips are identical but it's the depth that the fitment is determined by as well as the zip brand.

My 2.4m Isabella Ambassador has the zip all round (an inverted U shape) - as did my previous 2.4m Dorema Daytona. Before that I had a Dorema Sirocco which did have the side which fitted into the awning rail.

Thanks for the advice so far, will have to put it up again when it stops raining and get the tape measure out.

I have a Capri Lux with an annex. This awning is 2.5 metres deep, not 2.4.

There are two annexes, the 'Tall' and 'Future'. You don't need to measure the zips - just specify the awning and annex required.

The Future version is really just a bedroom, as its too low to stand up in. Its frame is just a single hoop, but whole annex is surprisingly heavy.
