G'day John,

Darche only provide a Beaufort rating on their Eclipse Freestanding awnings, there's no rating provided on the rest of their range.
As long as you have this one pegged out well, and have a few tension springs to help in windy conditions, you should largely be ok in most scenarios.

G'day Tyrese,

The awning colour is the standard Darche green canvas just like their other awnings and swags.
Hope that helps.

G'day David,

You'll just need the channel bolt set - 2 packets.  Because the roof rail channels on the platform run side to side, you wont need the long brackets, the standard brackets will mount normal like they would if you were using standard roof rails.

G'day Keone,

If you have already cleaned the awning up I can recommend applying OZtrail Aqua Proof Waterproofer to restore the water repellency of the fabric!

G'day Jo,

We don't have the exact measurement sorry as we don't have one here on display.  We can confirm that the spacing on the back of pullout awnings is fairly universal across most brands, which is roughly 40-52mm apart.
According the the Yakima brackets you've mentioned, they are universal, so you wont have any issues.

G'day Michael,

It has a sail track on the car mount side, and a sail track pointing directly down on the bottom edge of the backing plate.
Hope that helps!

G'day Rob,

No, it won't.  The awning can only attach to an actual roof rack system. 
As far as I'm aware, roof rails only function is to allow quick and easy attachment of roof rack systems, and don't actually have functional load-bearing capacity.

G'day Panda,

Yep - all you need to do is turn the bracket upside down and bolts that way.  There's no difference to the physical attachment point by re-orienting the brackets.
Hope that helps.

G'day Mark,

We don't have any of the Snowys crew with the Pioneer platform racks, so if you have mounting channels on the platform, you'll need channel bolts.  These come in a pack of 2, and can be found in the "You Might Also Like" section on the product page.
You will need some additional supports of spacer accessories that you can get directly from Rhino Rack.

G'day Bart,

It sure does, that exactly what it's designed for.
Hope that helps!

G'day Harrison,

Its just the standard L bracket that comes with majority or side pull-out style awnings.
The heavier duty T brackets are for 180/270 awnings.

G'day David,

Yes, the Darche XTender 2.5 Awning Tent can be attached to the Eclipse Slimline Awnings.

G'day Lynne,

The poles have a small ball stopper on the base of the poles to stop them slipping out.
Hope that helps!

G'day Kristeen,

The Eclipse Awnings have a hinge style spreader bars that run along the sides of the awning.

G'day Ethan,

I've included the old model Vs new model packed size comparison for you below. In terms of the space inside the bag, it's a tricky one to confirm, as we don't have a display model or any current stock to check for you. Based on what we've seen with previous models you might have a tiny bit of extra space for small incidentals like guy ropes etc, but aside from that, unfortunately, we're not able to get more information at this time.

New model: 255L x 9.5W x 12H cm

Old model: 260L x 13W x 14H cm
