Darche has taken their legendary 270 Freestanding Awning and made it even better. Now wrapped in a heavy-duty aluminium hardshell, it’s tougher, stronger, and ready to cop whatever the outdoors throws at it.

Getting set up is quicker than ever—magnetised silicone end caps make access a breeze, and we’ve added a zippered hatch so you can climb into your rooftop tent without any dramas. Every part of this awning has been put through its paces, tested in real conditions, and fine-tuned to make sure it stands up to wind, rain, and relentless sun.

Why You Want This On Your Rig

  • Wind Rated & Solid as a Rock – Handles winds up to 30 km/h, no extra support needed. However, to protect you and your gear, we always recommend that the poles and guy ropes be properly set up in case of unexpected gusts of wind.
  • Serious Coverage – A whopping 7.5 sqm of shade and shelter.
  • Built for the Long Haul – Tough 280gsm ripstop polycotton canvas that won’t let you down.
  • Easy Rooftop Tent Access – Zippered hatch makes getting in and out simple.
  • Lights Included – Built-in dual-coloured white/amber LEDs to keep your campsite lit.
  • Heavy-Duty Mounting – Strong two-piece adjustable aluminium brackets lock it down tight.
  • Weather-Ready – Air vents and water drainage ports to keep mould at bay.
  • Break Points Where It Counts – Designed to prevent major damage in extreme conditions.

This awning isn’t just an accessory—it’s a must-have for anyone who takes their touring seriously. Whether you’re chasing the next big trip or just setting up for a weekend away, the Eclipse 270 Freestanding Hardshell Awning has got your back.

Unfold it. Lock it in. Get on with the adventure.
