   I’ll pull the out r-dome and see how tough it is to put up by myself. If it’s not too hard I’m sure I’ll appreciate the space when I’m at a 4-5 day dog show or if we go on a Scuba trip with the two of us.Anybody use a little Home Depot screen room in shorter trips?

	Ok,that’s what I figured. Strange that it took so long for the real awnings to come out.

	See my mods (here is a direct link) to see the awning I made. Since doing so, we had an accident which required that our RP179 go to the factory for repair. As part of that, the door side was replaced. Since the new side had the mounting plates, we also were able to get an awning added. I would not recommend having an accident to get one. Making an awning yourself is a better and less expensive option.

	You cannot add the Thule to a model that didn't come with it. The mounting plates are not in the wall. It is also, a one or the other deal, because the keder rail for the dome mounts in the same place as the awning mounts. Many owners have either made, or had made, a awning sheet to just slide into the keder rail, and bought posts from a repair parts place, or from a old tent, etc.

	Hey everyone! First trip went well to Winston-Salem,aka arctic winter wonderland this weekend. 5inches of snow that stuck around! I love snow but it would have been nice to have an awning over my door. I have an r-dome but I will only be taking that out for longer trips,probably only when hubby is with me,although I am going to play around with it at home and see how hard it is to set up. But anyway,I know I wouldn’t have set it up this weekend with the short trip,snow storm,cold and busy schedule that I had. Is the Thule awning available for this model? Can you use the r-dome with it or would I need to seek that and get the Thule room? I have the r-dome but haven’t even looked at it yet.
