Unfortunately, the sidewalls on the R-Pod prior to them coming from the factory with awnings were not designed to handle the stress of an awning. Most people just get an R-Dome.

If you really want an awning, you are better off making your own and attaching to the keder rail as mentioned above. You could go to the  https://pahaque.com/  website and check for a trailer shade, or trailer tent. If you consider a side tent, I would recommend getting the dometic cabana. https://www.dometic.com/en-ca/outdoor/ca/products/climate/rv-awnings/awning-accessories/extended-space/dometic-cabana-room-_-39387    It attaches to the rpod, and creates a space as large as the rpod, but it's empty, so it actually more than doubles your space. These things are great to have when buggy, or rainy. You can sit outside and laugh at the weather. Many times they are sold used here, or other sites. It's called an r-dome.
