The Eclipse 180° Awning brings you instant cover, wherever the road takes you. With 8.2m² of protection from the elements, this awning is suited to a wide range of vehicles and setups. Designed for an easy one-person set up, the unit is freestanding during set up and pack down. The heavy-duty swivel hinge system holds the entire kit up while you extend and tension the awning arms and release the two pivoting alloy telescopic leg poles stowed along the rafters. Attach the final leg poles and you'll be under cover in a matter of minutes.
The awning is made from ecoWGAFTM fabric (280gsm polyester oxford ripstop/100% recycled RPET) and has an impressive PU 5000mm water rating plus seam sealing that will keep you dry in extended rainy conditions. The durable box-tube alloy rafter system is strong and lightweight, supported by a heavy-duty alloy swivel hinge system.
With the option to add on a wall set (sold separately), you can have even more protection, extra privacy, cover for your gear or space for the swags - the options are endless.
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. We recommend professional installation through your local 4WD centre or ask your DARCHE dealer for advice about installation.
