New Awning Concept

That awning does look good.  I may give it a try if I can find one.

We love the Dome, but thought an awning would be best for one-night trips and to let us take the Dome down to dry before storing.  As we all know, the R-pod awning market is nonexistent, so as we do frequently, we made it ourselves.  Purchased a clearance 7x12' piece of awning material ($70.00 including shipping).  The cord on the awing was not big enough around, so we bought a roll of soft clear plastic tubing and split it long-wise to fit over the awning's cord - glued it there.  This fits in the same track as the Dome.  Then purchased two replacement fiberglass tent poles with tension cord, cut them to fit into a seam that I sewed onto the other end of the awning.  Put in 3 grommets, bought aluminum extension tent poles and made straps to anchor with stakes to the ground at an angle.  The total costs for all parts was less than $125.00 and a little sewing time.  We will be bringing it to the Oregon Rally in September. 

Any news on this?

Marwayne- I think I can get away with that!!

Little jump again...can you use bleach water in the hot water tank when de-winterizing the pod?

I would definitely flare the ends.
