I'm kind of in the same boat. I have an older 179 that I would love to put a retractable awning on, but the trailer wasn't built to support one back then. Will be watching this post to see if anyone has other suggestions.

We did the same thing-used an 8"x12" poly tarp and sewed keder tape to the edge.  We used 3 outside edge poles and a center horizontal pole as a ridge.  It works great for shade and rain cover.

I built up a DIY solution...not expensive at all, and very light weight. It kinda depends on what you want. 

I used a small shade sail and some poles and a few other bits of hardware and cobbled up a decent awning.

Looking for suggestions for adding an awning to our 2014 RPod 177.
Has anyone used a Thule product? 
Any others to recommend?
Any advice appreciated.
