About this product

Tough as nails, built for the wild, ready for anything.

We’ve taken our iconic 270 Freestanding Awning and made it even better. Now protected by a heavy-duty aluminium hardshell, it’s stronger, more durable, and prepared for whatever the outdoors throws at you.

Set-up is faster than ever thanks to magnetised silicone end caps for easy access, plus a convenient zippered hatch so you can climb into your rooftop tent without hassle. Every component has been tested in real conditions and refined to ensure it performs in wind, rain, and relentless sun. Why You Want This on Your Rig Wind Rated & Solid as a Rock – Stays steady in winds up to 30 km/h without extra support.

For safety, we still recommend using the included poles and guy ropes in case the wind picks up unexpectedly. Serious Coverage – A huge 7.5 m² of shade and shelter for your campsite. Built for the Long Haul – Tough 280 gsm ripstop polycotton canvas that’s made to last. 

Easy Rooftop Tent Access – The integrated zippered hatch keeps things simple. Lights Included – Built-in dual-colour white/amber LEDs to illuminate your setup. Heavy-Duty Mounting – Strong two-piece adjustable aluminium brackets keep everything secure. Weather-Ready – Air vents and drainage points help prevent mould and moisture build-up.

Smart Break Points – Designed to minimise damage in extreme conditions. This isn’t just an accessory — it’s essential gear for anyone who takes touring seriously. Whether you’re gearing up for a major trip or just heading out for a weekend, the Eclipse 270 Freestanding Hardshell Awning has your back. Unfold it. Lock it in. Get on with the adventure.

Compatible with Hardshell 270 Awning Wall Set.
