Details & Specs
For instant shelter beside your vehicle wherever you travel, add an Eclipse Slimline Awning 2.5 x 2.5 from Darche to your set up.
This easy-to-set-up awning has a slimline profile which reduces weight and wind resistance.

To reduce component stress, this awning features super flex pivoting hinges as well as black anodised aluminium extruded profiles to save you space when packing it away. It also has a double sail track so you can add separately available walls for more shelter, and comes with mounting brackets, fittings, guy ropes, pegs and manual included. When you want to head to your next destination, just pack it into the 1000D PVC transit cover with weather-resistant zips for protection against the elements on the road.

Arb base rack mounting1 answer
Hi - is this awning compatible with the ARB base rack, and what mountings would be needed to install on the baserack
Chris - Eltham, VIC (1 year ago)
G'day Chris,
This awning can be mounted on pretty much any roof rack system, and the base rack is no exception.
From memory the ARB base rack has a channel mount system, so you'll need 2 sets of the Channel Bolts which you can find in the "You Might Also Like" section.

Rhino rack stow it system 1 answer
Do these awnings work with rhino stow it system
John - Frankston East, VIC (1 year ago)
G'day John,
That may be a question for Rhino Rack - we've not got any experience with those brackets, and haven't had feedback from customers at this stage.
The mounting plate on the Darche awning is fairly universal, so if it fits with most awnings, you shouldn't have any issues.

Darche 2.5 eclipse slimline1 answer
What is the Beaufort rating of this awning
John - Sydney, NSW(1 year ago)
G'day John,
Darche only provide a Beaufort rating on their Eclipse Freestanding awnings, there's no rating provided on the rest of their range.
As long as you have this one pegged out well, and have a few tension springs to help in windy conditions, you should largely be ok in most scenarios.

Fitting to Yakima Cargo Platform1 answer
Would I be able to fix this Darche awning to a Yakima LNL Platform (model 'A' at https://www.yakima.com.au/roof-racks/lockn-load-platform ) using the Darche bracket supplied, or would I have to also purchase a couple each of the Long Bracket https://www.snowys.com.au/eclipse-180-270-long-l-bracket and the Chanel Bolt Set https://www.snowys.com.au/channel-bolt-set-2-piece ? Thank you.
David - Macquarie Park NSW 2113(2 years ago)
G'day David,
You'll just need the channel bolt set - 2 packets. Because the roof rail channels on the platform run side to side, you wont need the long brackets, the standard brackets will mount normal like they would if you were using standard roof rails.

Re waterproof 1 answer
Hi Team, What is the best way to waterproof my Darche awning? I had to clean mould off it, now it doesn’t repel and just holds the water.
Keone - Clovelly, NSW (3 years ago)
G'day Keone,
If you have already cleaned the awning up I can recommend applying OZtrail Aqua Proof Waterproofer to restore the water repellency of the fabric!

Channels for Yakima rack fitting 1 answer
Can you please advise the distance between the two channels on the side of the awning that attaches to roof racks. I am looking at fitting with the Yakima easy off awning brackets which carry an awning up to 18kg. Thanks.
Jo - Boorowa, NSW(3 years ago)
G'day Jo,
We don't have the exact measurement sorry as we don't have one here on display. We can confirm that the spacing on the back of pullout awnings is fairly universal across most brands, which is roughly 40-52mm apart.
According the the Yakima brackets you've mentioned, they are universal, so you wont have any issues.

Sail track 1 answer
Does it have sail track on both the car mounted side and the opposite side
Michael - Adelaide Bc, SA (4 years ago)
G'day Michael,
It has a sail track on the car mount side, and a sail track pointing directly down on the bottom edge of the backing plate.
Hope that helps!

Fit2 answers
Hi Guys, will this awning attach to a Subaru Outback’s side roof rails ? 2021 Sport Model. This model does not have the integrated cross bars. Rob
Rob - Forestville, SA(4 years ago)
G'day Rob,
No, it won't. The awning can only attach to an actual roof rack system.
As far as I'm aware, roof rails only function is to allow quick and easy attachment of roof rack systems, and don't actually have functional load-bearing capacity.
Lauren - Snowys(4 years ago)
Will the back of the Darche awning fit to a Yakima Easy off awning mount? If so these adapters can attached to an Outback’s roof rack system. https://www.yakima.com.au/easy-off-quick-release-awning-bracket

Mounting on high vehicles1 answer
I have limited height clearance for my prado 150 model to fit into my garage. I intend to install this awning on my Toyota Orem aero roof rack cross bars. Rather than installing with long side of L bracket pointing up which would not allow me to get through my garage, does this awning and its installation kit support installation with short side of L bracket pointing down (and so awning is bolted to short side of L bracket) so that there is enough clearance for driving the car into the garage. Thank you.
Panda - Adelaide Bc, SA (4 years ago)
G'day Panda,
Yep - all you need to do is turn the bracket upside down and bolts that way. There's no difference to the physical attachment point by re-orienting the brackets.
Hope that helps.

Rhino Rack1 answer
Hi, just wondering if this fits straight onto a Rhino Rack pioneer rack or do I need special mounts? Cheers
Mark - Mitchell Park, SA (4 years ago)
G'day Mark,
We don't have any of the Snowys crew with the Pioneer platform racks, so if you have mounting channels on the platform, you'll need channel bolts. These come in a pack of 2, and can be found in the "You Might Also Like" section on the product page.
You will need some additional supports of spacer accessories that you can get directly from Rhino Rack.

Extender1 answer

Mounting Brackets1 answer
What style of mounting brackets come with the awning?
Harrison - Wollongong, NSW(5 years ago)
G'day Harrison,
Its just the standard L bracket that comes with majority or side pull-out style awnings.
The heavier duty T brackets are for 180/270 awnings.

The poles have a small ball stopper on the base of the poles to stop them slipping out.
Hope that helps!

New model1 answer
Hi, i'm wondering what the difference is between this awning and the previous version which i believe was just called the eclipse. Mostly i'd like to find out how much extra room the bag has, can you still fit the awning in if its not rolled perfectly tightly? And is there some spare space on either end of the bag? I'm hoping to continue jamming the guy ropes up in there as i did with my old awning. Thanks very much in advance for your help:)
Ethan - Parkes, NSW(6 years ago)
G'day Ethan,
I've included the old model Vs new model packed size comparison for you below. In terms of the space inside the bag, it's a tricky one to confirm, as we don't have a display model or any current stock to check for you. Based on what we've seen with previous models you might have a tiny bit of extra space for small incidentals like guy ropes etc, but aside from that, unfortunately, we're not able to get more information at this time.
New model: 255L x 9.5W x 12H cm
Old model: 260L x 13W x 14H cm
