SET-UP & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

ATTACHING BRACKET TO ROOF-RACK

ATTACH AWNING TO BRACKET

Darche recommend using an experienced after-market 
4x4 Accessories fitter to mount the Eclipse Awning to 
your vehicle. Fasteners and fixing connections should 
be checked regularly on both the awning and roof rack 
to ensure the awning is always mounted securely to your 
vehicle roof rack. 

Ensure the unsupported ends of the awning  

do not exceed 500mm.
Darche takes no responsibility for the fitment of  

the Eclipse Awning to any vehicle or roof rack.

Darche’s Eclipse Awning brackets have been designed 
to fit most common roof rack configurations. However, 
with the ever increasing number of roof rack designs 
available it is difficult to supply a mounting bracket to 
accommodate all. Below are examples of how to mount 
the Eclipse Awning brackets to Flat style and Basket style

roof racks. The bracket can also be mounted on roof 
bars, however, additional specific attachments may need 
to be sourced from your roof rack supplier.

If in doubt, visit your roof rack specialist for specific roof 
rack mounting options and advice on load capacities.
