An alternative to using Keder tape is to use sail slides, spaced at a convenient distance. Since they usually made of a hard plastic or nylon, they move easier through the rail and tend not to get stuck like the tape can. They are available in various sizes to fit the different rail sizes. Here is an example of what they look like: https://www.velasailingsupply.com/ronstan-sail-slide-stainless-bail-48mm-x-11mm/?sku=RONPNP103&gclid=Cj0KCQjw29CRBhCUARIsAOboZbIRomkJP2-Uirsl5To515l-lTw58NjavVz3LFCkkwi--qvYhDIfn_gaAnKmEALw_wcB

I like the Keder tape and tarp idea. Does that tape slide in and out easily?

You can easily attach an awning to the keder rail that runs along the top on the non-slide-out side. However, having a retractable awning similar to what comes on some new Rpods requires framing support to be built into the wall, which your Rpod will not have.

We have 2016 179 and the room that attaches to the side. What I'm wondering is if we can install an awning also. Is there framing support for one? I had heard that if it didn't come with one that you cannot attach one. Is this true?
