I have the new Phaq Que awning for Rpods (not the visor type but the one in the link above). 

Just camped for five days and used the awning (great as it rained for one day).  The awning was simple to put up and take down but lots of luck trying to fit it back into the bag it came in.  I just folded it up nicely and stored it in the baggage compartment of the trailer (I have a new 178).

The new awning kept me really dry along with chairs, etc.  It got lots of looks from folks walking by. 

They are currently working on a piece that attaches to the front which totally encloses the awning.

All in all a nice piece of work and really easy to put up just carry a small step ladder with you.

Cheers

I just returned the Rdome that came with the 179. Very difficult to set up. I like your idea and would really appreciate a photo of the adjustment you made to the side that slides into the Chanel .Does the awning material come stitched up on all four sides? Is there any other tips you are wiling to share? Where did you get the awning? Have you considered attaching mosquito netting ?

OK  So Im rackin my brain to remember the guy who had it featured on a post.  He was tailing about the irritating screws in the channel that got in his way.  It was a 9x9 (brand? i don't remember) from Walmart.  He is a bit of a metal fabricator and had pics of his rear plug in steel carrier that he made…….Im still looking for the post…… Seemed like the best deal I have seen so far.  And simple
