In response to OP, ours (172, Mfg 10/18/2018) came with R-dome and I just rolled it out.  It is indeed predominantly gray, but with dark/Navy blue trim along bottom and thin strip along "eave" vent.  I expect it will match anniversary exterior well.

Thanks for making me look (never thought of it).

+1 to GlueGuy, if you want a Thule awning you need to order or buy that way. If you buy with a keder rail, you have to make or buy an awning that attaches to the keder. I have a visor awning for my 178, I bought at PahaQue.com.

The structure needs to be reinforced where the awning attaches. So you should order it up front, or else it can not be installed.

One or the other. Most dealers are ordering with the awning, as they know how to "sell" an awning.

For those of you who prefer the awning over the r-dome.... don't bother coming up into central, eastern, or northern Ontario from May 15 to Sept 15th. You will be spending ALL of you time inside your pod. The black flies and mosquito's are to hard to handle without the dome to sit in.   Just say'en..

Their brochure lists the R-dome and the Thule awning as options. One or the other. The pic on the site shows the r-dome is blue and gray. Blue at the bottom.
