Why Leave Your Darche Eclipse 270 on Your 4WD? Just add the RacksBrax XD Hitch!

The Darche Eclipse 270 is built for serious outdoor living. With 11.5m² of coverage wrapping from the side of your vehicle around to the rear, it gives you a huge sheltered space for cooking, relaxing, and entertaining at camp.

But, do you really need to carry it everywhere?

Your Eclipse 270 is an investment in your camping gear. It is also a substantial piece of equipment sitting on the side of your vehicle between adventures. When you’re commuting, running errands, or heading away without camping gear, leaving it mounted can mean carrying unnecessary weight and exposing your awning to the elements.

That’s where the RacksBrax XD Hitch changes the way you use your Darche Eclipse 270.

Add your awning when you need it

The XD Hitch has been engineered specifically for larger 180° and 270° wing-style awnings, including the Darche Eclipse 180 and Eclipse 270.

Instead of treating your awning as a permanent fixture, the XD Hitch gives you the perfect solution for a quick release awning solution.

Heading away for the weekend? Load your Eclipse 270 onto the vehicle.

Back home on Sunday? Remove it and, even better, store it using the RacksBrax Wall Mounts.

The result is a more flexible 4WD setup that lets you choose when your awning actually needs to be on the vehicle.

A better way to protect your investment

Darche has engineered the Eclipse 270 for serious touring, with a robust alloy arm system, polycotton canvas, and a protective transit cover.

But the best place for your awning when you’re not using it isn’t necessarily on your vehicle.

RacksBrax also offers wall mount options, allowing your awning setup to be stored in a garage, carport, or other secure space when it’s off the vehicle. That means less exposure to everyday UV and adverse weather conditions.

Built for the way you actually tour

One of the biggest advantages of a 270° awning is the amount of shelter it provides. The Eclipse 270 can also be paired with wall systems to create up to 20.5m² of sheltered space.

But you don’t need that much shelter every day.

Your Darche Eclipse 270 should be ready for adventure - not permanently attached to your daily driver.

With the RacksBrax XD Hitch, you can keep the convenience of a premium 270° awning while making your vehicle setup more modular.

Load it. Lock it. Adventure. Remove it. Store it. Repeat.

That’s the RacksBrax approach to a great 4WD setup.
