INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ATTACHING BRACKET TO ROOF RACK
Your DARCHE® Eclipse Cube Shower Tent has been designed for a universal fit on most common roof rack and roof
bar systems. It is advisable that you contact the manufacturer of the roof rack or roof bar system on your vehicle for
the recommended attachments required for fitting this product. Some roof racks are designed to allow direct fitting
of the Shower Tent without the use of the L-mounting brackets.
The 2 x L-mounting brackets supplied are designed to attach to most roof rack and roof bar systems. This Shower
Tent also comes with 2 x steel clamp plates for installation to a roof bar system (if required).
DARCHE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FITMENT OF THE SHOWER TENT TO ANY VEHICLE OR ROOF RACK.
TIP: We recommend that you go for a short drive after attaching the Shower Tent to your vehicle, then recheck all
fasteners and fittings. Check the position of the Shower Tent and brackets and ensure the Shower Tent is secure and
adjust if necessary.
