Isabella Van Front, Sides & Curtains for Campervan Canopies
The Isabella Van Front, Sides and Curtains system transforms your campervan's wind-out canopy into a fully enclosed outdoor living space. This modular setup includes the Van Front panel, two Van Side panels (available separately for left or right mounting), and a four-piece curtain set that works across all components. Each piece attaches to wind-out canopies measuring 200cm deep and at least 260cm wide, fitting popular models like the VW California, Mercedes Marco Polo, Ford Nugget and Renault Space Nomad. The Van Side panels use three suction cups for a draught-proof seal against your van, while the Van Front completes the enclosure underneath your canopy.
Built from coated polyester fabric, these panels resist UV damage and repel water without being fully waterproof. The Van Side includes a CarbonX roof pole with telescopic adjustment and IsaFix locking brackets, plus rubber end caps to stop wind movement. Each side panel measures 186cm wide by 185cm high and features a clear window for natural light and visibility. You can reposition the roof pole to create two separate rooms under your canopy, giving flexibility for different camping layouts. The panels come with tent pegs for additional anchoring in exposed conditions.
The curtain set uses magnetic fixings that click onto built-in attachment points in the Van Front and both Van Side panels. You can mount individual curtains on specific windows for partial shading or install all four pieces for complete privacy and light blocking. The dark fabric helps with temperature control during hot weather and provides blackout coverage for better sleep. One limitation is that you need to purchase the Van Front, Van Side and curtain set separately rather than as a bundled package, which means higher overall costs if you want the complete system.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Isabella Van Front, Sides and Curtains is a modular enclosure system that attaches to campervan wind-out canopies to create a protected outdoor living space. The system consists of three separate components: a Van Front panel that closes off the front of your canopy, Van Side panels available for left or right mounting, and a four-piece curtain set with magnetic attachments. Each component is sold separately and works together to provide shelter, privacy and weather protection underneath your existing wind-out canopy.
The Isabella Van Front and Van Side panels fit wind-out canopies that measure 200cm in depth and at least 260cm in width. Compatible campervan models include VW California, Mercedes Marco Polo, Ford Nugget, Ford Nugget Plus, Renault Space Nomad and Nissan Primastar Seaside. The panels attach using suction cups against the van body and work with standard wind-out canopy configurations on these vehicles.
The Van Side panel attaches using three suction cups that fix directly against your campervan's body to create a draught-proof seal. A CarbonX roof pole with telescopic adjustment and IsaFix locking brackets supports the top of the panel and connects to your wind-out canopy. The roof pole includes rubber brackets at both ends to prevent wind movement, and tent pegs are included for additional ground anchoring in exposed conditions.
Isabella Van Side panels are available in two versions: one designed for mounting on the right side of your wind-out canopy which includes a door for entry and exit, and another for the left side without a door. The right-side version allows you to create an accessible enclosed space, while the left-side version provides additional wall coverage. You need to select the correct version based on which side of your canopy you want to enclose and whether you need door access.
The Isabella Van Front and Van Side panels are made from water-repellent coated polyester fabric, not fully waterproof material. This means the panels will shed light to moderate rain and provide weather protection, but prolonged heavy rainfall may eventually penetrate the fabric. The coating also provides UV resistance to prevent sun damage and colour fading. The panels are designed primarily for shelter from wind, sun and light precipitation rather than as a fully sealed weatherproof structure.
The Isabella Van curtain set uses magnetic fixings with discreet metal pieces sewn into the curtain edges. These metal pieces attach to built-in magnets in the Van Front and Van Side panels without requiring clips, ties or additional fasteners. You can mount individual curtains on specific windows for partial coverage or install all four pieces for complete light blocking and privacy. The magnetic system allows quick installation and removal without damaging the panel fabric.
Yes, the Isabella Van Side roof pole can be repositioned to the centre of your wind-out canopy to divide the space into two separate rooms. This works when using both left and right Van Side panels together, allowing you to create a central divider under your canopy. The telescopic roof pole adjusts to fit your specific canopy width, and the IsaFix locking brackets hold it securely in the centre position for a stable room partition.
The Isabella Van Side panel measures 186cm wide by 185cm high and includes a window for natural light and visibility. The panels fit wind-out canopies that are 200cm in depth and require a minimum canopy width of 260cm. The Van Front panel dimensions match the width of your wind-out canopy to create a complete enclosure when combined with Van Side panels on either or both sides of your setup.
Yes, the Isabella Van Front, Van Side panels and curtain set are sold as separate products rather than as a bundled package. This modular approach allows you to purchase only the components you need for your specific setup. You can start with just a Van Front or single Van Side panel and add other pieces later, or buy the complete system if you want full enclosure from the beginning. The curtain set is a separate accessory that works across all panel types.
CarbonX is Isabella's carbon fibre composite material used in the Van Side roof pole construction. Carbon fibre provides high strength and rigidity while remaining lightweight compared to aluminium or steel poles. This makes the Van Side easier to transport and set up while maintaining structural stability in windy conditions. The CarbonX pole includes telescopic adjustment for different canopy widths and features rubber end brackets to prevent movement during use.
