Darche Eclipse 270 Awning LHS Generation II

Introducing the Eclipse 270° Generation II, an innovative awning by Darche that's designed to redefine your outdoor experience. With the same beloved features as its predecessor, this updated version brings exciting improvements to the table.

Crafted for effortless setup and compact packing, the Eclipse 270° can be easily handled by a single adventurer. Its unique design hinges from both ends, covering the entire length of your vehicle, including the rear, providing an expansive undercover area that outshines typical offerings (approximately 11.5m²).

And here's where it gets even better! By adding optional walls (sold seperately), you can expand your sheltered area to a remarkable 20.5m². These versatile walls double as windbreaks or awning extensions, extending up to 4.2 meters in total with the help of two pivoting alloy telescopic poles, cleverly stowed along the rafter during packing.

Crafted from Darche's rugged poly-cotton ripstop canvas, supported by a lightweight yet robust alloy rafter system, and hinged with a heavy-duty steel and aluminium swivel mechanism, the Eclipse 270° is poised to become a must-have for dedicated adventurers and campers.

Elevate your outdoor adventures with the Eclipse 270° Generation II, where innovation meets convenience for the ultimate in camping comfort.

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