Darche Eclipse Awning Wall Set

Darche 180º Rear Awning Wall Set

Posted on January 19, 2022January 19, 2022

After upgrading from the 1.4m DARCHE awning to the 180º Rear Awning the plan was to add the wall set to create an enclosed space for autumn / winter camping and privacy. This enclosed space can also be warmed somewhat via a wood stove. I got the wall set from Trek Overland on York, UK….

I hummed and hawed over whether to buy a 2m side awning or the 180º rear awning. Here’s my reasoning if it’s of interest, if not skip to my initial impressions. Decision making Firstly, why change from the 1.4m awning? There’s a lot to like about fitting a 1.4m awning to the side of a…

We went for the 1.4m Eclipse Awning by Darche. Based on a recommendation from Trekoverland.com. Not only does it look great, fitting it was super easy. The plan for the awning is to make an additional piece to attach to the side of the tent. Creating a bat wing style coverage. One things for sure…

Front Runner 3/4 Rack New Jimny

Front Runner Slimline 3/4 Rack

Posted on August 3, 2019April 29, 2020

We decided to go for the Front Runner Slimline 3/4 rack. The reason we did not go for the full sized rack is when the tent is mounted we don’t plan on adding any additional items to increase the roof load. The 3/4 rack fits the tent perfectly. Fitting the tent to the rack we…
