G'day Ash,

We're not roof rack experts, however based on the profile of the Thule WingBar Edge Roof Racks, it doesn't look like there is an easy way to be able to attach a bracket to roof racks due to the design. We'd recommend reaching out to Thule directly, or your licenced roof rack supplier to see if there is a way to attach awning brackets to this model.

G'day Ryan,

No, it can't.  You'll need to remove the walls for pack up, and this applies to all awnings in our range.
I'm not personally aware of any awnings that would allow this, its a huge amount of canvas.

G'day Helen,

The Eclipse Retreat will suit the standard 180 and 270 awnings, but its unfrtunately much too large to suit the 180 versatile awning.

G'day Daz,

None of the Darche awnings are free-standing.  In perfectly calm weather you'd be ok to leave it unsupported for a very short time during setup, but otherwise, it does need to be fully supported with poles, etc.

G'day Kate,

The only real consideration that I'm aware of is making sure your awning has a maximum unsecured end length of 60cm.
Considering the backing plate on the awning is 1.5m, theres no concern with the roof racks being too close together.
I'd personally be looking at having the brackets being no more than 1m apart.

G'day Renee,

Yes, you can use the Eclipse 180 Rear Awning with a 2m side awning, you'll just need to ensure that you've got enough length/distance between your racks to position the side awning far enough forward to no interfere with the rear awning. Generally, you'll need a third rear rack to attach the rear awning to in a set up like this.

G'day Don,

You can mount the 180 Rear Awning on the side of a vehicle. The brackets supplied are L style brackets, and generally able to attach to most roof racks and platforms, however, we're not able to verify the exact fit to the platform you've got, you may need to pick up some extra fixings.

G'day Andrew,

This won't be possible, the zipper on the 180 Rear Wing Awning starts at the corner point and runs the full length of the awning, so you wouldn't be able to attach anything to the middle/back section. The other issue is that as far as we're aware the zippers used by the two manufacturers aren't compatible. The only wall option for these awnings is the wall panel kit that covers all three sides. 

G'day James,

You could mount the Eclipse 180 Rear Awning on the side of your car, that shouldn't be a problem. The main difference is that the backing plate is quite a lot shorter than a side awning at 1.5m

G'day Jason,

No, the 270 walls will only work with the 270 awning.
The 180 Rear awning wall set is a single wall that spans all 3 sides, which you can find HERE

G'day Rhiannon,

The mounting length of the 180 Rear Awning is when packed up is 150cm.
The full length when opened is 420cm.
