Isabella Universal Dawn 420 Porch Awning

All weather conditions – all year round

Thanks to it's great strength and stability, the Isabella Universal Dawn 420 porch awning can be put up in all weather conditions – all year round. Two support poles press the sewn-in foam pads securely against the side of the caravan, while click profiles hold the sides directly on the support pole for a perfect seal.

The Universal 420 Dawn has doors in both sides and large windows across the front, giving a good view. The strong Zinox steel frame ensures good stability. If the Universal 420 Dawn is to be used as a year-round awning, Isabella recommend the fitting of winter securing and an inner roof (optional extras). The roof construction provides unobstructed opening of the caravan door and minimal build-up of snow.

Universal Dawn is part of the Dawn style concept, i.e. a mild and subdued tone-on-tone colour scheme inspired by the misty morning landscape.

Suitable for fitting to caravans with a height between 235cm and 250cm, the Universal Dawn 420 has a depth of 2.3 metres and a width of 4.4 metres.

The porch awning has four doors and large windows across the front allowing plenty of light into the awning. The awning comes with strong steel Zinox poles that are galvanised both inside and outside and give great stability to the awning. However, it is recommended that a winter securing set and an inner roof be fitted if the awning is to be used through the winter.

Supplied as standard with: Curtains, veranda pole, draught skirt, wheel arch cover, FixOn, awning bag, pole bag, peg bag and a 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.

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 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.
