Instead of the R Dome tent, I am interested in installing a normal roll- out awning with metal support posts that hook to the side of the trailer, the type that most rv's have standard. On the internet a company has created a 179 "Woodie" after market model that uses a 10 foot Fiamma roll out awning. It looks like it has 3 bolt thru brackets to support awning and brackets on side of trailer for support posts. Has anyone done this or another set up? What are your thoughts. Perhaps use the Rdome railing as the awning holder? thanks

The dealer that put that custom Pod together hangs out in the Facebook Group if you are there. He could probably answer any questions you had about it.
