Considering an R-Pod 190

I have the Thule awning. There is no problem fitting a Classic Accessories cover over it.

Thanks Reluctant,

I have the 30A Hughes Autoformer. It is the right choice for the RPod. I haven't encountered a situation yet that required the boost function. I do like that the surge module is replaceable at a reasonable cost. It would be a waste of money to get the 50A unless you intended to move up to an RV soon that would require a 50A supply. For the RPod and other small trailers, 30A is the right answer.

I have a 2019 R-Pod 190 10th Anniversary edition. I highly recommend the cover if parking under a tree, as some have mentioned. I would use it anyway regardless to protect the roof from the elements. I keep it on the RV all the time when I'm not using it, except a few days before and after a trip with it.
 
The "Classic Accessories" PolyPro 3 "OverDrive" is an excellent product. It fits the trailer like a glove, and won't blow off in high winds or move around much, minimizing tearing. Be sure to cut foam "noodles" and slip them over the rain gutters and any other sharp corners. I put duct tape on the inside of every corner where it rubs, mostly at the bottom - all four corners. The zippered door makes it very easy to get in if you need to while covered. And it is vented. I've never seen moisture trapped under it. The top has reinforcement material (a heavier canvas-like material as opposed to the rest of the poly fabric) that repels tree sap and debris, and gives added strength and protection from sun as well. A very well designed product. And I always remove the TV antenni when I put it on or they will point out too much and become stressed under the weight. They easily unscrew.
