G'day Travis,

There is no need to season the Darche awnings, they're ready to go straight from the box.

G'day Andy,

I've just called Darche and verified that the warranty is 2 years, the canvas is also 320gsm, so we'll get that information updated on our site.

G'day Andy,

It's hard to know as we don't sell Rhino, but on the Rhino website, they list them as polycotton canvas with 2000mm waterhead rating. The Darche Eclipse has the same waterhead rating, with 400gsm polycotton canvas. It's hard to compare as Rhino doesn't specify the canvas weight.

G'day Rawley,

Yes, the Eclipse Side Awning 2.0M is 2m parallel/in line with the vehicle, and it comes out 2.5m.

G'day Glenn,

The Eclipse Side Awning comes with 2 L brackets and some M8 nuts and bolts, so if you're needing to mount it to a rhino pack pioneer platform you may need some extra bolts, but your best bet will be to have a chat to your local roof rack supplier about mounting options.

G'day Alexander,

The Darche Elipse Side Awning 2.0 just comes with L-brackets, as well as M8 nuts and bolts, so if you're in need of their channel bolt set your best bet will be to order those direct from Darche as they're not a product we stock.

G'day Calum,

The Eclipse Side Awning 2.0M doesn't come with a LED strip but you could pop one in there. The Companion EPak attaches using velcro tabs or the Korr LED Flex Tape attaches using adhesive tape.

G'day Clarissa,

The Eclipse Side Awning 2.0M is designed to be mounted directly to a roof rack using the supplied L-brackets. It may be possible to fit the awning direct to your roof rails with the correct brackets, but we'd suggest you discuss this direct with a vehicle accessory fitter or the car manufacturer to determine if it will work.

G'day Tania,

We've got one of the awnings mounted to the wall in our Adelaide store but I can't get behind it to take a reasonable photo sorry, so I'll do my best to explain.

The brackets you get to mount to your roof racks are these L Mount Brackets. How you mount them will depend on your roof rack type, some are set up for it others will need some alterations done. A roof rack dealer will be able to help explain which type of rack would work best for this. Once the bracket is mounted the rest is pretty self-explanatory, you simply slide the provided bolts into the slots on the awning and bolt it onto the brackets you've just mounted. 

I know it's a bit of a hard one to visualise without any images. I've spoken to our web team and we're hoping we can create some video content regarding the Darche awnings that might help, but I'm not sure exactly when we'll get onto it sorry. If you want to discuss it further we're happy to have a chat on the phone, just give us a call on 1300 914 007. 

G'day Connor, 

The awnings ship with some "L" brackets which need to be mounted as per your individual requirements.
