Good Morning, Need some help please... I'm having a problem finding an awning for new purchase. Is there is a special model awning specifically made for Rpod 171? All my camper friends have big rigs so a typical awning they use doesn't seem to fit what I have. Any suggestions please?  Thank you...

Welcome! I'm a newbie, too, but a company called PahaQue Wilderness makes an awning it claims will fit all R-pod models: https://pahaque.com/products/r-pod-trailer-awning-by-pahaque

Welcome, You can get an R-dome also, that is a screen house, rain house, or awning, depending how you want to set it up. It's made by Dometic, and it's called a cabana I believe. It attaches right to the Keder rail on the camper, and doubles the size of the pod. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

Make sure your Rpod has a Keder rail mounted above the door running the length of the trailer. This what you slide the rdome or PahaQue into awning into. The rail should have been mounted at the factory. ------------- Jay 179/2019 |

Welcome to the Pod world and this forum! We ordered a Clam Shelter. They come in different sizes and are, or can be, more versatile than the R-Dome in our opinion. Lots of price variations for the sizes, too, so do some shopping if these interest you. Search "clam shelter" ------------- Greg n Deb 2020 195 HRE '07 Tundra 5.7L., '17 Tacoma 3.5L.

| So the Clam doesn't hook up to the camper... Or maybe I'm not searching for the right thing... Thanks for your message! |

Correct. It does not attach directly. It can be placed as close as you want, or moved around depending on the size, shape of your camping area. That versatility is part of what convinced us to buy one. We often could not use the RDome on our 179 due to terrain or in some cases the camp site lay out. ------------- Greg n Deb 2020 195 HRE '07 Tundra 5.7L., '17 Tacoma 3.5L.

People sell R-domes (connected unit) here from time to time. There is a facebook page called rpod V2 you could join that sometimes has people selling them. Make sure you join the V2 site, the other is ruled by a bully.

Why delete? people go off on a tangent now and then. Just ignore the foolish parts. You'll probably still want to ask questions once in a while, no need to leave, but it's your decision. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

I haven't tried it, but you might hit the link to not receive any more emails, etc. Do not know how to delete, so can't help you there. My R-Pod is my escape from the craziness that sometimes leaks over onto these forums. In all sincerity, good luck and enjoy the r-pod. ------------- Greg n Deb 2020 195 HRE '07 Tundra 5.7L., '17 Tacoma 3.5L. Both with tow packages 1 Puggle, 1 Chihuahua support staff |

I just purchased a 2020 171, and so far have only spent one night in it...but so far so good! I have ordered this: https://pahaque.com/collections/trailer-shades/products/r-pod-trailer-canopy Looks like they are now sold out. It was a little less $ than the visor, and offered larger space. Once it comes in and I've used it I'll post a critique.
