You can either load them straight from your computer to this site, or load them to a 3rd party site like photobucket and link them.
If you use "post reply" instead of "quick reply" you should see a place/clicky to "insert image".. |

Hi!
We had an awning made at our local awning shop. Nothing fancy but it does the trick. Had 3 grommets put in across the front for the poles and hubby actually took some plain pvc and with his heat gun shaped it to match the curve of the roof line. We insert that into a pocket on the underside of the awning at the halfway point. This give the awning just enough shape to clear the door and gives enough coverage for coming and going. I'm hoping that FR will come out with a proper awning as well instead of having to get the R-dome. Happy Camping! |

I doubt we'll see any other awning for the Pods. Just as a regular awning is standard on other RV's the Rdome is what we have for Pods.
Your custom job is amazing though, looks great!!! |

Looks great ... very nicely done. But I'm not about to give up my R-dome!

Here's my awning: Made from an old sail. Actual sailboat luff tape might be too small, what you want is called awning rope. We usually use the awning quite a bit, the disadvantage is that you have all the poles and lines to walk around. You also need a fairly stout sewing machine to attach the awning rope. Also use hand sewn grommets where the poles stick through the awning instead of the crummy brass ones.

This looks like the right starting point for designing an awning for our 177. Great ideas.

Hi,
Your awning is what I'm hoping to DIY for this season. Would you expand a bit on how the awning fits into the railing alongside the trailer? Thanks - Adam |
