I also have a Thule awning on my 2019 179.  When I was shopping for my 179 I was told by several dealers that the trailer had to be ordered from the factory with either a Thule awning or a R Dome because the attachment of the Thule awning was installed before the outside skin was installed???  For the R Dome the Keder Rail had to be correctly installed during the construction process.  I don't know how factual this information is but it is what the dealer advised me.  Hope this helps

Our 2018 180 came from the factory with a Thule. The instructions say it's a Thule 5200.  It's 12 feet long.  I'm not sure how far out it extends.  It is fully extended in the photo.  I have a mesh shade tarp I tie across one end or the front if the sun is too hot.  Also the legs make a good place to tie a rope between for a clothes line for drying towels.  I couldn't find a price on the internet.

I am a new to RV camping, and own a 2017 Rpod 180.  Looking for any info on retractable awnings, brands, reviews, costs, etc.  Thanks in advance!
