We are new owners of a 2016 - 179. Read a post about needing a ladder to clean off top of slide out before breaking camp. (leaves, debris removal). I have been looking for an awning or canopy to attach to either the slide out or R-pod roof that will pull out when slide out is extending, and retract when slide out is being closed. I have noticed a track above what looks like a small small 'gutter' to shed water off to side of slide out. Is there such an item? Thanks, ccamp  ------------- ccamp |

Here's one found by Appocalexx for a 179: http://www.camperpartsworld.com/78-Inch-AE-Slide-Topper-RV-Awning-Fabric.html - http://www.camperpartsworld.com/78-Inch-AE-Slide-Topper-RV-Awning-Fabric.html There are many posts on this subject. Do an advanced search on this forum for "slide awnings", "any time". I got 100 hits. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Welcome. If you decide to go with a ladder, I bought one of these so I could clear my slide-out, love it. http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Telescopic-Telescoping-Extension-Extendable/dp/9996981126/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451181647&sr=8-3&keywords=extendable+ladder - http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Telescopic-Telescoping-Extension-Extendable/dp/9996981126/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451181647&sr=8-3&keywords=extendable+ladder ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I think I paid around $65, but I haven't seen them much below $100 since. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
