Darche Eclipse Slimline Rollout Awning

Darche’s Eclipse Slimline roll-out awning provides simple, economical shade and cover for your 4WD camping setup. Offering up to 67 sq-ft of cover, Eclipse Slimline awnings deploy 2.5m (8.2′) from the side of your vehicle and come in 2.0m (6.4′)  and 2.5m (8.2′) lengths.

Its a breeze to set up – just release the aluminum poles stored away in the twin-channel rafters and use the twist lock feature to adjust to your preferred height. The sides of the awning are then held tight by trigger-lock poles which the awning also attaches to with velcro strips. If you’re after some extra protection from the weather, you can always add on an extension wall using the built-in sail track slots (sold separately).

The awning is made from heavy-duty, mildew-resistant 320gsm ripstop polycotton canvas, blocking out direct sunlight and harmful UV rays, and has an outstanding PU 2000mm water rating to keep you dry on those rainy days. The uniquely designed pivoting hinges are made to be tough and crack resistant while still providing flexibility to reduce overall component stress. The awning packs away into a heavy-duty 1000D PVC transit cover featuring a weather-resistant zip to keep out road grime and dust while you’re out on the road.

The included mounting brackets suit most commercially available flat roof rack or steel basket set ups. Make sure to check the weight rating and suitability of your roof rack and vehicle with appropriate manufacturers prior to purchase. Most OEM roof racks are not compatible with the mounting system. We recommend professional installation.

2.0 x 2.5m: Designed for vehicles with shorter roof racks, this version is 2.0m (78″) wide and is compatible with all Ezy Exensions, which attach to the horizontal poles on either side of the awning, including an available 2.0m Front Extension that slips in to the sail track and provides protection from wind and rain.

2.5 x 2.5m: Suitable for longer roof racks, this square version is 2.5m (99″) wide and is also compatible with the same Ezy Extensions including its own 2.5m Front Extension. The 2.5 x 2.5m awning is also compatible with the Eclipse 2525 Annex, giving you a fully weather and mosquito-proof room to sleep, prepare meals, or just relax in on a rainy day.

SAFETY NOTE: Ensure that your awning is anchored with all legs, straps, guy ropes and pegs at all times when in use. Damage to the awning or your vehicle may occur if the awning is not fully supported. We also do not recommend using the awning in heavy snow conditions due to the weight build-up that snow can cause. Weather damage is not covered under the standard warranty, but we do stock various replacement parts that are available for purchase.
