FITTING GUIDE
Your Darche Kozi Series Awning has been designed for a universal fit with most makes and models of four
wheel drives, SUV and station wagons, utes and vans. Your awning can either be mounted directly to a roof
rack, roof cross bars. When mounting the awning ensure it is positioned to allow sufficient clearance for the
vehicles doors to open.
