The Eclipse 270° Awning brings next-level shade to your 4WD camping setup. Offering a huge 11.5m² of instant cover, it spans the full length of your vehicle, then wraps around to the rear, giving you greater cover than a straight awning. Designed for an easy one-person set up, the unit is freestanding during set up and pack down. The heavy-duty alloy swivel hinge system holds the entire kit up while you extend and tension the awning arms and release the three pivoting alloy telescopic leg poles stowed along the rafters.

Description:

The innovative 270° awning by Darche (Generation 11) has all of the features you know and love plus some great upgrades.  Designed for maximum shade and easy setup and pack down, the Eclipse 270° can be set up by one person. Hinged from both ends, the Eclipse 270° spans along the full length of the vehicle as well as the rear, offering additional undercover area compared to other general market offerings (approx. 11.5m2)

With optional walls erected, up to 20.5 m2 of a sheltered area can be achieved. Each optional wall can be set up as a wind and weather break or as an upright awning extension, allowing the Eclipse 270° to extend further up to 4.2 meters in total, featuring 2x pivoting alloy telescopic poles which are neatly stowed along the rafter when packing away.

Made from Darche’s proven and hard wearing proofed poly cotton ripstop canvas, a strong lightweight box tube alloy rafter system, and pivoting from heavy duty steel and aluminium swivel hinge system, the Eclipse 270° has become a recognised leader in vehicle awnings and a must-have for all serious tourers and campers alike.

Area of Shelter – 11.5m2.  With walls fitted, the setup covers approx. 20.5 m2 depending on the height of the vehicle.

How is it different from other 270° awnings –  The Eclipse 270° Awning hinges from both ends, it also has a class-leading larger coverage area as the front span runs along the front of the vehicle.

What feature upgrades are in the Generation II version – The canopy construct has been upgraded from a 260gsm to a 320gsm polycotton canvas. The new aluminium hinge system and box tube alloy rafters allow for an overall reduction in weight.

Can walls be used as extendable awnings? – Yes, both front walls are designed to be used as additional extendible awnings (poles not included).

Roof Rack mounting – Mounting brackets are included and will accommodate most commercially available steel basket and flat rack set ups. (Including TJM, ARB etc.). Mounting hardware for Whisper and Rhino bars will be available for purchase separately.

Materials – The canvas is a Proofed poly cotton ripstop canvas as are the walls. The frame is Alloy with steel hardware. The transit cover is made of laminated 600gsm PVC.

Does it need to be pegged down with guy ropes?  – When setting the awning up it will free stand, but it is not designed to be set up without being anchored to the ground at all times. It has a large surface area so sudden wind gusts could become hazardous.  Use all the anchor points and guy ropes provided and peg to the ground.  The awning also has anchor points to create water gutters to drain surface water in the rain.

How does it perform in a strong wind? – The awning has a large surface area so sudden wind gusts could become hazardous. We do not recommend using the awning on strong wind days.

Optional walls and awning extensions – Walls are sold separately.

How many people are required to set up? – One person. The Eclipse 270° Awning is designed as a simple 1 person set up and pack down & inclement weather may require the assistance of another person.

What poles are included – 3 x pivoting alloy telescopic poles are included and purposely fitted under awning arms for easy access and stowing. Each rafter has a purpose drilled hole for additional spigot style poles if your set up requires or in case of an emergency. An additional 3 poles are included in a separate carry bag.

Water drainage – Included guy ropes need to be fixed between rafters to create a water runoff valley. You can see an example of this in the YouTube video.

Please note
When mounting to your vehicle please ensure the unsupported ends do not exceed 500mm.

The Darche Eclipse 270 Generation !! Awning is covered by the Darche 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty.

Testimonials:

This awning is fabulous! It is so easy to set up, it only take 1 person and it is a great size, as you can see it goes around 2 sides of the trailer. We bought the walls that zip on as well which encloses one side of the trailer giving shelter and privacy. We are very happy with this awning, the ease of use and the quality is awesome! @joneses_outback_journeys

Really happy with this setup. The Darche 270 degree awning gives you a MASSIVE amount of shade and/or shelter from the wind and the Panorama 2 RTT is super comfortable and big enough for the four of us.” @79series
