I installed the Solera on our 190.  I laid out all the parts on the driveway arranged like they go on the Pod.  That helped ensure I had all the parts and made the install easier.  Go for it, it's not to difficult.]]> Mon, 20 Aug 2018 10:06:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113941#113941 Slide awning Rpod 180 : Installation Looks fairly straight... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113932#113932 Author: tony rpod 180

I have not made mine yet but I found slides at a sail shop that fit the track. They are a loose enough fit that I could sew them into a poly tarp, or just tie them on at the grommet.

Cost me something like 1.49$ ea plus shipping, so I got 10.

I have the R-dome also, but wanted something very quick and easy to put up after a day of driving.

Then a day or 2 later when I have recharged my battery's I can swap it for the R-dome if desired. Or take it down and drive some more.

You can also find the rope kind that sews on. Google is your friend. Search for keder slide.

I duct-,taped a $8 tarp to 1/2 inch braided nylon line and slide that into the rail. It's supported by off poles on the ends. An acceptable and cheap awning for boondocking. Has all the class of a FEMA roof for $50.]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2018 21:20:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113913#113913 Slide awning Rpod 180 : Thank you so much for that tip!... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113910#113910 Author: tony rpod 180

I installed a Lippert from etrailer.com. For a 178 cost was under 200. Before that I used the one from PahaQue that is installed in keder rail. I like the permanent retractable one much better.]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2018 11:14:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113885#113885 Slide awning Rpod 180 : Has anybody installed a slide... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113883#113883 Author: tony rpod 180

Has anybody installed a slide awning on there Rpod? I was trying to stay away from the high priced one you can order from Camping World, was thinking of fabricating one from tarp material.  Any ideas? ]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2018 11:11:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12073&PID=113883#113883
