Overview:
- A world-first, 8-arm rear-mounted awning wrapping around three sides of your vehicle.
- The largest in its class, providing a massive 13.8 square meters of shelter.
- Features 4 built-in dual-colour dimmable LED strips.
Unleash the full potential of your adventures with the revolutionary Darche 360° Rear Awning. This isn't just an awning; it's a complete paradigm shift in mobile shelter. Forget the old rules of camping. Imagine pulling up to any location, deep in the wilderness or on a remote coastline, and deploying a massive 13.8 square meters of shelter that wraps around three sides of your rig. In minutes, your vehicle is transformed into a sprawling, expedition-ready basecamp.
Engineered for the unforgiving Australian landscape, this awning is built without compromise. The foundation is a formidable 8-arm aluminium alloy frame, designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Its clever telescoping rafter arms allow it to pack down to a surprisingly compact 136cm, yet expand to an immense 400x495cm canopy. The shelter itself is crafted from a premium 220gsm ripstop polycotton canvas. With a 3000mm waterhead rating, it easily sheds torrential rain, while the UPF 50+ rating provides a crucial shield against the harsh sun. When you're tackling rough tracks, the rugged 1680D polyester transit cover ensures your investment stays protected.
Roof Racks Galore knows that a great setup is all about smart details. The Darche 360° Rear Awning is packed with them. Forget fumbling with headtorches; four integrated dual-colour, dimmable LED light strips bathe your campsite in perfect ambient light at the touch of a button. For rooftop tent users, a brilliantly designed integrated entry hatch with waterproof zips means you can move from your tent to your sheltered living space without ever being exposed to the elements. Stability is guaranteed with four integrated leg poles, guy ropes, and pegs included for when the wind picks up.
Versatility is key for any touring setup. This awning mounts seamlessly to most platform-style roof racks and rooftop tents up to 135cm wide, with the necessary mounting brackets included. Ready to create the ultimate all-weather enclosure? A full wraparound wall set is available separately (T050801754WS), transforming your open-air shelter into a fully-protected room for cooking, relaxing, or sleeping. This is serious shelter, built for the wild.
