FITTING GUIDE
Your Darche roll out awning has been designed for a universal fit with most makes and models
of four wheel drives and commercial vehicles. Your awning can be mounted in 3 different
styles as outlined below, and has been packed with a fixing kit. Your awning can either be
mounted directly to a roof rack, to roof cross bars, or mounted directly to a reinforced steel/
alloy canopy. It is important when mounting the awning to ensure it is positioned to allow
sufficient clearance for the vehicle doors to open.

rail of the awning, as seen in the picture
