Here's a little more detail, courtesy of PahaQue (maker of an aftermarket awning):
Forest River used two sizes of awning rail on the R-Pod trailers. Older models may have a smaller awning rail that has an inside diameter of .40" (10mm). Newer models have the larger, .563" (14mm) inside diameter rail. A quick way to tell is if your rail appears to have an inside diameter larger then 1/2", you have the newer, larger rail.

Thanks. I will now have to see what the dealer says and what they will do under warranty. ]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2014 22:53:28 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5451&PID=53061#53061 R Dome issues : Yes, you've hit the nail... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5451&PID=53009#53009 Author: Outbound

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head.  The earlier r-pods had a smaller-diameter rail.]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2014 21:08:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5451&PID=53009#53009 R Dome issues : Can anyone tell me if they have... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5451&PID=53008#53008 Author: Escape Pod

Can anyone tell me if they have had or heard of the R Dome coming out the channel after it's put up? We have a relatively new 178 and have installed the R Dome 4 times and it will come out of the track for a foot at times and in different areas of the channel. Is there a different "bead" or "rope" size for different R Pod models where we may have gotten the wrong R Dome from the dealer? Thanks for any help and feel free to ask if you need a better description of the problem. Hopefully it's been discussed here before and I just didn't see it. ]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2014 21:02:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5451&PID=53008#53008
