Isabella Commodore Dawn Caravan Awning

The Isabella Commodore Dawn is essentially the same as the Commodore North but with a few essential differences. The most obvious is that they have different colours. However, the Commodore Dawn is also offered with some additional sizes.

The awning is a blend of classic Isabella style and design with current, modern day materials. It has a really excellent depth of three metres, providing substantial extra room to your caravan. On top of this, there are three types of frames to choose from - enabling you to choose the frame type that will best suit your use of the awning. 

Due to the large, panoramic windows, the Commodore Dawn provides a light, airy and generally pleasant place to sit, play and generally relax in.

To enjoy any awning to it's full potential, it is absolutely essential that you can control the awning's internal temperature and climate. This makes controllable ventilation essential. This is why the Commodore Dawn not only has integrated top ventilation, but also mosquito nets with a foil cover in both sides. On hot days and balmy evenings, the nets keep out annoying insects, whilst at the same time the open windows allow the air in the awning to circulate.

Comes as standard with: Curtains. Veranda pole, draught skirt, wheel arch cover, FixOn, Typhoon storm sashes, awning bag, pole bag and peg bag with peg remover.

Isabella Poles Types

Carbon X Frame

A carbon-fibre reinforced fibreglass frame, is suitable for both permanent and touring caravanning. Carbon Fibres are combined with glass fibres in varying amounts, according to pole diameters, to offer maximum strength. 

The frame is light and fully corrosion resistant. All CarbonX frames are supplied with the IsaFix locking mechanism. With IsaFix in place, keeping the frame in position is easy. With one press of the hand grip, a discreet 'click' tells you IsaFix is locked in position.

Zinox Steel Frame

The Zinox Steel Frame is hot galvanised both inside and out to extend its life and to meet all load bearing requirements. The steel frame is made of ISO-certified high-strength steel. The strength of the Zinox steel frame makes it particularly suitable for pitching your caravan permanently - and it is included with all All-in-One and winter part awnings, because caravanning in the off-peak seasons demands geat structural stability due to weather conditions such as strong winds and snow.

Zinox MegaFrame

The Zinox MegaFrame is a durable tubular steel frame ( material thickness: 32mm / 1.2mm ) with welded corners and double screw lock on the poles. MegaFrame is designed for year-round use with a full awning which can remain standing all year and can withstand powerful storms, snowfall and torrential rain. 

The Zinox MegaFrame is supplied with two extra rafter poles, as well as one Hercules 32.5mm

Isabella Sizing Chart

To Find The Correct Awning Size For Your Caravan

Full Awnings
To find the correct size of awning for your caravan you need to find the 'A' measurement. This is often given in handbooks by the manufacturer of the caravan, but if you cannot find the 'A' measurement then you can measure it yourself.

Position the caravan on even, level ground. Measure from the ground level at a point directly below the awning rail at the front of the caravan to the ground level point directly below the awning rail at the rear of the caravan. You can do this quite easily using a piece of string or chord. This measurement will be the red line shown on the image.

Porch Awnings
Generally, you do not use the 'A' measurement for porch awnings. Instead you will want the awning rail height from ground level - shown as 'H' on the diagram. Unlike the awning rail height which is a fixed dimension, the width of the awning - shown as 'L' on the diagram is variable. Some people do not like to fix an awning across a window as shown on the left hand side of the diagram, so they would probably buy an awning either with a smaller width or wider width if room permits. Essentially the choice is yours to make.
