Hi we picked up our new to us caravan today, it came with a Ventura Marlin Awning plus annex.  Does anyone have one of these and if so is there room for a family of 3 to sit around a table in?

great awning just right for three people. You can also fit an annex which would be perfect for keeping your Wheaten terrier in!

We also looked at these but Ventura have just brought out a new larger all weather porch which we've just ordered from the NEC. They look to be very well constructed.

I have the Marlin without an annex and there's enough room to get 6 round a table (just) so long as the table is not too big.

I've got a normal sized plastic patio table that I use with normal foldaway deckchairs - its a bit cosy but on a cold night (like last weekend in the Cotswolds) its worthwhile.

As a plus point if you put the awning up really tight and get a couple of bracing bars to go across front of awning and one of the sides - its almost indestructable in the wind because it goes up so solidly.

Super awning. Well made and strong. Mines withstood a force 6 gale with just nylon guy ropes. Just one gripe. the pattern and colour of the curtains.

Ventura are an offshoot of Isabella.
