Xtender 2.5 Awning Tent

Take off for the day while leaving your camp intact with the Xtender 2.5 Awning Tent. Designed to suit the Eclipse Slimline 2.5 x 2.5m Awning, this tent is purpose built to leave behind. Simply attach the zipper strip to the front sail track of your awning and you’re ready to go. When you want to leave camp but keep your shelter set up, just unzip the tent and roll up your awning. When returning to camp, park in the same spot and your awning will quickly re-attach, giving you continuous coverage between your vehicle and sleeping space.

Although it’s made to attach directly to an Eclipse Slimline 2.5m awning, Xtender is also a uniquely designed free-standing tent that complements Eclipse 180 and 270 awnings. All you need to do is set your tent up so the built-in awning extension is just underneath your vehicle’s awning and you’re good to go. Multiple Xtenders can be set up under one awning, allowing dry and shady communal space for everyone, away from the elements.

The large front entrance and rear and side gusset windows provide great airflow and keep you dry in rainy weather. If you want some extra shade with this freestanding tent, you can convert the detachable fly into an awning with the included twist lock poles.

Like all Darche gear, it’s built to last. Made from durable 210D ripstop polyester oxford, it can hold its own in any harsh environment. This tent also has an impressive PU 2000mm water rating and all seams are heat sealed to keep you dry in rainy conditions. It features a 370gsm PVC removable bucket floor with adjustable corner points. The doorway is dual-zippered with privacy and superfine insect mesh that will give you plenty of ventilation while keeping the critters at bay.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

In 1991, Darche revolutionised the traditional swag market with the introduction of the Dome style swag. DARREN O’DWYER, the founder of Darche with his wife CHERYL (DAR-CHE), embarked on an eastern Australia journey. Wanting a shelter arrangement that was quick, practical and easy to stow, Darren used his imagination and created a canvas shell with fibreglass poles and the dome style swag was born. Darren realised he required a suitable and purpose-built factory arrangement in order to suffice demand. Using Australian supply chain partners, Darche became the leading swag and canvas converter in Australia

Today Darche is proudly owned by the Charles Parsons Group who have been actively involved for over 20 years in supplying textile and trim componentry to Darche. Charles Parsons are the largest textile wholesaler in the Southern Hemisphere with offices in every capital city of Australia, including offices in Fiji, Auckland and Shanghai. The day-to-day running of Darche occurs in a warehouse facility based in Thomastown, Victoria with a site area of more than 40,000m2. Darche is overseen by experienced textile product developers, business strategists and passionate staff who are keen outdoor enthusiasts with sound knowledge and experience to match.

OUR PROMISE

We are passionate, dynamic and keen. We enjoy the same lifestyle choices as our consumers. We strive to provide our consumers the very best value, reliability and service and most importantly we recognise the trust they place on us. We welcome our consumer’s feedback both positive and negative and promise to keep delivering whilst listening. We are mindful of our vulnerable environment and build our products to last the journey. We encourage life time use and if over the years it requires attention, even if it is a discontinued product, we endeavour to find a solution, on a best effort basis, to have it back and performing for you.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Darche’s growth and shortage of experienced canvas converters and local machinists, has seen Darche establish reputable off shore assembly and supply chain partners. Operating from four major plants purposely selected and audited by Darche. Machinists, assemblers, finishers, tool makers and QA/QC supervisors are included in our required workforce of over 180 people over our four plants. It is vitally important to note Darche do not use Trading Houses or vertical arrangements off shore to source product. We at Darche develop all product prototypes in Australia and are involved from concept through to market release. Utilising Charles Parsons accredited laboratories and leading processes, all developments are then vigorously tested at the Thomastown facility and again in real life situations by developers.
