With a heavy duty steel and alloy swivel hinge system on both ends, the awning spans 6m along the vehicle and features two pivoting alloy telescopic leg poles which pack away neatly along the rafters. Constructed with hard wearing proofed poly/ cotton ripstop canvas and a strong lightweight box tube alloy rafter system, the awning weighs in at 20kg and is covered by a 2 year warranty.

With walls fitted and anchored down, approx. 16.5m2 of coverage will be achieved depending on height of vehicle.

FREE-STANDING FUNCTIONALITY

It is designed to be a free-stander to aid in set up and pack down only, however we recommend that it is pegged down at all times. It has a large surface area, meaning sudden wind gusts could become hazardous. The Darche Eclipse 180° Awning has been designed for general camping use under normal conditions. Always ensure all guy ropes are anchored correctly. It may be necessary to re-adjust guy ropes and pegs at times to maintain the structural integrity of the awning. Note: To avoid chances of personal injury and or property damage, Darche highly recommends the Eclipse 180° Awning should NOT be erected during windy conditions. Damage caused by wind and/or adverse weather will not be covered under warranty. |
