Slide out cover

Hi, I purchased a 2010 Rpod M175 and I would like to put a cover over the slide out. Has anyone done this and if so which did you purchase. I did find a cover but it’s one you have to install after u open. I would like the type that opens with the slide out.

But what size is that? When I look at one sized for the 179, it usually runs significantly higher than $200.

The slide-out on the 179 measures 109-1/2" flange edge to flange edge, a smidge more if the corner covers are counted, or about 110" That means I would need either a 9' or 9.5' awning, which are currently listed on eTrailer for $349.95.

We got this one from this seller for our 179:

You have to buy the brackets separately, which adds another $70. When we bought ours over a year ago, it came with the brackets, but apparently no more.

Wall below the flange.

I don't remember if I needed the long or short brackets because I don't remember the flange height; I followed the recommendations on Carefree's website:

Short Bracket - Flange heights 0" - 3.25" Tall Bracket - Flange heights 3.26" - 5.25"

It's a pretty quick install. The screws for the brackets are all self-drilling. The hardest and most time-consuming part was feeding the fabric into the keder rail: I spread the ends of the rail a little to help prevent snagging.
