Eclipse 180V Awning Darche

This awning has many uses. Although designed for the rear of your camping rig, this awning is perfectly at home on the side of any vehicle, especially if you have a shorter roof rack that can’t/won’t accommodate a longer awning. The length when stored is just under 5 ft, so even if you only have load bars, you can rock this awning no problem. 

This awning weighs 28lbs, and uses a wider bolt spacing than a standard straight-out awning, so keep that in mind when you are planning your tent/rack/awning combo.
