Darche Eclipse 270 Awning Install

I looked at Howling moon, Drifta, Batwing but this is the one I went for. NOT a sponsored vid, just an install and first impressions. I'll do a long term review a bit later.

Looks good mate. Plenty of room under there with the side walls. I recently bought the 30 second awning, need to get the wall kit though.

[@randalllawkin]

This is very cool...are swags blow up beds?😅 If it is that's a lot of room

[@markdavies675]

That looks dam expensive... So lam guessing they gave this to you , or at a very reduced price for advertising it for them ....

[@DASHOffRoad]

No mate, not sponsored, far from it actually. I bought it with my own hard earned, and to be honest I’ve had a few problems, will likely do another vid discussing what happened

[@GTFOadventure]

I been looking at this and the batwing but leaning toward the batwing so far

[@cheapneasy1981]

I noticed with tailgate you said it 'just cleared' but also noticed it hadn't actually fully opened and was resting on bars. Can you still slide fridge out and open lid of it if tailgate isnt fully open as it looks tight... ?

[@DASHOffRoad]

It is tight, but doable

[@cheapneasy1981]

Looks like tailgate doesn't open much on re watching. Only opens to your eye level meaning major ducking under tailgate to get access and nearly impossible to access fridge. Shame... I guess nothing a bit of custom raising of awning couldn't fix with some newer custom brackets for future...

Loving your videos. I am researching 270 awnings, with a plan to get one for my Land Rover 110. This one and the Howling moon brand are on my shortlist. You mentioned in your comments that you have had some issues with the Darche. Can give us any more detail please? The only negative comments I have read online are about it being a bit tricky to get back in it's bag when packing up.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Darche is 10kg lighter than howling moon. Both are good brands. a zipper failed on my awning the first time I used it (camping) so that was annoying, but they’re sending another out under warranty. It’s important to pack them up without crushing the zips

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Looks good Dave. Cheers Steve

[@zoezoe610]

That is a great setup matey

[@buhajer2]

Hi. Is that the latest one. Is there a website so I can buy one and could be delivered to uae

[@carpenter2410ify]

No way you can get your fridge out on that kings slide 🙈

[@bitzel]

Like it

[@explorethebush]

Gees, you could see that awning from space

[@Wayne-Pr]

How heavy is it packed up please ?

[@DASHOffRoad]

30kg

[@Wayne-Pr]

@@DASHOffRoad wow that would definitely put me over my GVM i really wonder if 1/2 the 4x4's on the road today are not over weight

[@markdavies675]

Waykat Services P/L Melbourne 30 kg put you over ... what a joke and a stupid question to ask.......

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Very nice, easy. Next review - how it stands up in windy conditions. Thanks for the update.

[@Redlegst1r]

What awning is this

[@Ethan-mv2un]

Serious..
