 Topic: Kelty Carport attached to R-podPosted: 20 Mar 2015 at 11:56am |
|
I have a 2015 178 Hood River and did not get the R-dome. We have a large Kelty Carport Deluxe which I was considering setting up on the Rpod, but was looking for suggestions on a way to slide two attachment points into the awning channel. Any suggestions? Here is a pic so you get an idea of what the carport looks like. Great shelter, would like to be able to make use out of it with the Rpod, rather than the car. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Welcome. You can buy keder which you could use to create a custom interface between the existing attachment points and the C channel on the pods. Can you post a close-up of the attachment points?

They literally attach to the roof rack of a car using heavy duty Velcro straps. So I was trying to figure out a device to slide in the channel for the Velcro to wrap through.

Thanks, Fred! Those would work great. I know there has been discussion on the channel size, do you know which size would work best?

Looks like keder inside diameter is 0.563" - 9/16" Guessing a 1/2" slug would work, but measure. fred

Just ran across this which is about as inexpensive an idea as you could get. And quite clever:

The awning hangers are really interesting! A lot of potential uses!
