G'day Bernhard,

The back of the awning has slimline slats run side to side, so there is no way of measuring the from bolt channel to bolt channel as you can fix the mounting brackets in any position as they will slide in.

There are multiple mounting options depending on the type of roof rack you have.

If your racks have channels, you just need to grab some Channel Bolts - this is the most common mounting option. You'd usually need 2 packs for this awning.

G'day,

As the Slimline slats run side to side, you mount awnings like you would on any normal roof rack system.
For any rack systems that use t-slots you'll need to grab 2 packs of the t-bolts which you can find in the 'you might also like' section.
The mounting and installation instructions are otherwise the same.

Hope that helps!

G'day Jay,

If you have channel mount roof racks, you'd need to grab 2 x Channel Bolts sets, which you can find in the You Might Also Like section.
Hope that helps!

G'day Jay,

No, sorry. The short side is specifically manufactured to line up with the mounting channels on the backing plate of the actual awning itself.  The short side also has a smaller gauge holes and bolts than what is required for the roof bar attachement.

G'day Lisa,

They can turn either up or down, depending on your particular roof rack system & the height clearance you have.
Hope that helps!

G'day Anne,

All vehicular awnings in our range require roof racks in order to be mounted.
There may be a roof rail-only option out there somewhere, but I've not personally ever seen one.

G'day Tim,

No, there are multiple mounting options depending on the type of roof rack you have.
If your racks have channels, you just need to grab some Channel Bolts - this is the most common mounting option.
You'd usually need 2 packs for this awning, or 3 for the larger 180/270 awnings.
Hope that helps.

G'day Lachlan,

I've just done some quick research on the ARB page, and it looks like you'll need to get 2 some T-Slot adapters from them to be able to mount non ARB branded awnings.
Once you've got a couple of those you should be good to go.
 

G'day Neil,

Not that we are aware of at this stage.
Any standard Darche Eclipse 2 x 2.5m awnings should be compatible with the Kozi awning though, if that helps.

G'day Dan,

Unfortunately the only images we've got for this awning are the ones on the site. The rear of the mounting plate has two channels for bolts, and is supplied with bolts and L style brackets to attach to your roof racks.

G'day Paul,

Yes, you can use the Xtender 2.5 tent with the 2m wide awning, but there will be some overhang on either side, as the tent is 2.5m wide.

G'day Jenni,

Yes, the roof rack people should be able to install the awning for you too. Just be sure to chat to them when you're choosing the roof racks so you can make sure they will work with an awning.

G'day Cirilo,

This awning should suit your crossbar distances, however, the Eclipse Retreat hasn't been designed for use with the Slimline Awnings, is has been designed for use with the 180 and 270 awnings, so they are too wide to fit the Slimline 2 x 2.5M awnings. 

G'day Justin,

Darche are still using the same canvas and PVC, however, they're now using aluminium extrusion for the frame which has helped them to drop 1kg off the weight, and reduce the packed size from 210L x 13W x 14H cm down to 204L x 9.5W x 12H cm. Aside from this, as far as we know, they're the same.
