Isabella Minor Dawn: Awning of the Month!
At Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes, we take pride in offering high-quality products that enhance your caravanning experience. This month, we’re delighted to showcase the Isabella Minor Dawn porch awning, which stands out as our featured awning. As we head into autumn, many caravanners are looking for practical solutions that not only provide comfort but also offer versatility and durability. The Minor Dawn meets these needs, and it’s now proudly on display at our showroom.
An Overview of the Isabella Minor Dawn
The Isabella Minor Dawn porch awning is designed with functionality, comfort, and ease of use in mind. Whether you’re a seasoned caravanner or just starting your touring adventures, this awning offers a great balance of lightweight construction and practicality. It fits caravans with heights between 235-250 cm and boasts a generous width of 260 cm and a depth of 200 cm, making it perfect for providing a little extra living or storage space without feeling overwhelming.
The Minor Dawn is particularly suited for shorter getaways and times when you need a quick, easy-to-assemble porch awning that still provides the quality and reliability Isabella is known for. Whether you're sheltering from autumnal showers or wanting some cover when al-fresco dining on cooler evenings, this awning offers a space that feels open and light.
Key Features of the Minor Dawn
1. CarbonX Fibreglass Frame
One of the standout features of the Isabella Minor Dawn is its CarbonX fibreglass frame. This frame material is not only lightweight, but it also offers robustness and durability that’s critical for withstanding varying weather conditions. Unlike metal frames, fibreglass doesn’t rust, making it a longer-lasting solution, particularly in damp environments. Additionally, the CarbonX frame is fast and easy to assemble, making it ideal for caravanners who want to set up their awning quickly upon arrival at a site.
The CarbonX frame ensures that the Minor Dawn remains stable and secure, even in windy conditions, giving you peace of mind no matter where you park your caravan. Its lightweight design also means that transporting the awning from place to place is easy, contributing to the overall convenience of this product.
2. Removable Front Panel and Mosquito Net
For added flexibility, the Isabella Minor Dawn features a removable front panel. This allows you to enjoy more open space on warmer days or remove the panel for easier access and cleaning. The front panel's large window brings in plenty of natural light, keeping the awning’s interior bright and welcoming, while still offering protection from the elements.
Additionally, there are entrance doors and mosquito nets on both sides. The mosquito nets are essential for maintaining airflow while keeping insects out, particularly during summer evenings or if you use an awning light on darker nights. Each side door can be securely closed using the zippered foil cover, adding an extra layer of protection from drafts or rain.
3. Premium Materials
The Isabella Minor Dawn is built using high-quality materials that have been carefully selected for their durability and breathability. The Isacryl 295 g/m² fabric used for the side panels is known for its breathability, ensuring that your awning remains comfortable and well-ventilated. This is particularly important for preventing condensation buildup, which can be an issue with inferior materials.
The Isaroof Light 240 g/m² fabric used for the roof is both UV-resistant and treated with two layers of breathable acrylic, ensuring it can withstand long-term exposure to sunlight without fading or deteriorating. This robust roofing material helps keep the awning cool in the summer and offers good insulation in colder weather.
The base material of the awning is made from PVC 380 g/m², which is waterproof and easy to clean. This combination of fabrics makes the Minor Dawn a versatile choice for caravanners looking for an awning that performs well in different climates.
4. Additional Accessories for a Complete Setup
Included with the Isabella Minor Dawn is a comprehensive set of accessories to ensure you have everything you need for an easy setup. These include:
- Set of curtains to enhance privacy and comfort
- Draught skirt and wheel arch cover to block out cold air
- FixOn brackets, ensuring a secure fit to your caravan
- Awning bag, pole bag, and peg bag, which all help with convenient storage and transportation
- A peg remover, so you can easily pack away your awning when it’s time to hit the road
At 14.85 kg (net weight) and a total weight of just over 24 kg (including the CarbonX frame), the Minor Dawn is lightweight enough to be easily handled by most caravanners, yet robust enough to provide stability in use.
Ease of Setup
When you’re touring, time is often of the essence. The Minor Dawn excels in this regard. With its intuitive design and CarbonX frame, setup is a breeze. Even if you’re new to caravanning, the clear instructions and simple assembly process mean you’ll have your awning up in no time, allowing you to focus on enjoying your break. The lightweight nature of the frame and fabric also ensures that taking the awning down and packing it away is just as easy.
Ideal for Short Breaks and Long Weekends
Thanks to its compact size and fast setup, the Isabella Minor Dawn is particularly well-suited to shorter trips, where a large full-size awning might feel excessive. It’s the ideal porch awning for those weekend getaways or short breaks where you still want a comfortable and practical space for relaxing, dining, or storage. The Minor Dawn offers just the right amount of extra room without being cumbersome to handle or install.
