DARCHE 180 DEGREE AWNING REVIEW 

Thanks heaps for this awesome review Paul! We're glad that someone as passionate as you won - keep up the great reviews!

Cheers mate, thanks for actually pointing out the little trick when folding it up!!!

The walls are brilliant. So long as you are staying a couple of nights (or don't mind and extra 10 minutes packing after 1 night) they provide a huge amount of sheltered room and privacy. If we are staying for two or more nights I also add two of the additional walls to the rear, making an almost complete enclosure. After 4 years and many K's travel, very happy with my 180...

Loving your reviews and videos mate, top job

Great review, much appreciated 👍

Congrats on the Win! Great video - we're big fans of the Darche awnings.

Love my Darche 180 degree - have it on my 200 Series and use an optional sidewall to create a 270 coverage over the tailgate area. I particularly like the forward coverage which is much more than most other awnings. I've not used my side walls yet but carry them in case the weather closes in. Great review

Thanks for the great video. I was convinced - and also bought one. Looking forward to try it out ...

I recently got the Darche 270 Eclipse, very happy with it. It held up to some heavy rain last weekend while camping at Clancy's Creek. One trick I did was tie the drainage points to the pole pegs, less ropes in the way and less pegs to trip over lol.

Awesome review bud. Love the design

Awesome review. I just got one today but haven’t set it up yet so was searching for tips and tricks to make sure I do it right. Heading out camping tomorrow so will be testing it out over the weekend. I lost my kings awning to an overhanging branch when I was lost on a bush track, folded it into a 90 degree angle 😬😅 will be a bit more careful with this one!

Nice review 😊😊😊

I have an Eclipse 180 and am absolutely stoked with it. I bought the awning package and it's a great bit of kit also. The only issue I've had is when it rains with a bit of wind behind it, the front area over the bonnet is very exposed. I'm looking at a drop down like a curtain to fix this. The 270 has an extra flap over this area. Other than that it's bloody brilliant.

Hey mate, I just found you’re channel. Awesome stuff. I am interested to know when you’re canopy door is open on how it clears the awning??? Would like to see a vid on that as I have a similar setup and I am looking at this awning. You have you’re self a new sub 👍👍👍

@ Camping_downunder great review mate👍🏽 I’m looking for the perfect awning if there is such a thing... I sold my Drifta 270 as I didn’t like the hassle of the poles during set up and pack down, as well as the longevity of the plastic knuckles for anchor points. I’ve been looking at the new 270 XT from the bush company which is free standing, similar to the one from Quick Pitch, like the idea of not needing poles unless there’s a fair bit of wind. Maybe one improvement for the Darche one would be to have the poles magnetically attach for storage instead of velcro 🤔

Great vid mate, but gltta ask, are you bogged or just waiting for a mate

Awesome piece of kit. The only thing I didn’t like in this review was bagging another company that’s just not on…

How did you mount the solar panel on the side of the box! Is it alright their ?

Only thing now is to move your solar panels , nice set up mate

Hey mate, wheres abouts was this filmed? cheers

Looking to add one to the side of my camper, BUT I can’t find any specifications for the LENGTH of the upright poles

Hey mate, what measurements have you get from the roof rack where the awning is mounted to the end of the awning? Do you find it sturdy enough? Cheers

It’s a pity they don’t have all the legs built in. Having to carry a separate bag with 2 poles is a pain.

Hows it holding up a year later?

Well then, you’ve sold me

Solar isn’t going to do much in the shade lol. Looks like an ok bit of kit. Amazing how many different things there are for the same thing haha.
