I just part exchanged a Inaca awning with my old caravan, this was a full 950 with fibreglass poles, I could not fault the awning one bit, we had it up for 40 weeks in total over a 5 year year period, it was put up and down probably 20 times in total, the awning after 5 years of what I would call reasonably heavy use was just fine, the fabric was as good as anything else I'd seen and I was told by a fellow camper that this was basically a Bradcot awning, I can't verify this as I never bothered checking.

The zips were used contantly with the kids and they never failed, it never leaked and it with held 2 storms when other peoples awnings collapsed, I have since had a dorema, which came free with the sale of my new van, It does not feel as good a quality as the Inca, but only time will tell.

The one thing I would say is; Try and get the fibreglass poles, they make the erection so much easier, if you do get a  storm at least you have that extra strength in the frame work. Always put the storm straps on, even when fine weather is forecast and always fully peg the awning down, we used rock pegs and it was trouble free. I would have another one, but as my van come with a free awning, I had to take what I was given, I woulkd like an Isabella, but these are so expensive, they look great and the quality is there, but I could not justify the price difference on something that will do the same job.

Good luck with your search
