When I purchased my Pod 151 it came with a Dome, however as a single person there was no way I would be able to put it up by myself, AND why do it for short weekend trips.  I found a post on the forum about the Pahaque Visor and contacted the company.  They are great to work with!  The first thing they asked was the size of the kedder rail, because they knew that FR had changed rails during the 2010 manufacturing year.  In addition, they had never made a visor for a 151 and they did the research on the length of the rail and the smaller size of the trailer.

It was the best $300 I've spent in a long time!  The visor is so, so, easy to install by yourself.  The first time I had it up, on Memorial Day weekend, there was a storm with wind gusts over 20 mph and it made it through perfectly.

I definitely recommend the visor!

Did you wind up getting a Pahaque visor? 

We also have a 179 and are considering getting the visor. I'm curious to see a photo of one on a 179 to see how the door clears.

We have a 179 and was wondering if anyone has purchased the Rpod visor from PahaQue? We have the dome but thought the visor would be good for using on short trips. If anyone has purchased how do you like the visor? We just purchased our 179 in October 2015 and used one time before storing for the winter. We are looking forward to r-podding this season.

link to visor is pahaquecustom.com

Thank you for any assistance.

Yes, I have actually and I have also checked with the factory regarding which brackets they thought were used in the pix that I attached...The price of the awning depends on the color housing that you choose.  The least expensive F45S 10 ft awning is the white ($884.00)

You can see the complete price list at:  
http://www.fiammausa.com/products/awnings.asp?Fam=F01

Here is the reply I received from Mr. Snyder regarding the brackets:

It looks like the brackets they used were a combination of the "B" and "C" brackets (see attached drawings). They have used three sets however two bracket sets are enough for a 300cm (10') awning.

The 02097-01- "C" brackets are $32.00 each and the 02437-01- "T" brackets are $19.00 each. You would need two of each unless you want to add the additional 3rd center bracket.

The 300cm (10') awning is $884.00 with a white housing and $907.00 for a black or aluminum anodized finish.

We can be reached at 407-672-0091 to order.

I have NOT done any of this yet... still in research phase!  If you beat me to the punch, please be sure & let me know how it came out!!!

Thumbs Up

I really don't know if this is a custom fit or not. I looked up the website and they have a 10'1" awning. I measured my Rpod 179 & from the far edge of the door to the inside of the window and I do believe the 10'1" will fit right in there. This company seems to do a lot of specialty retrofit awnings for all sorts of vehicles VW buses motorhomes etc. their phone number is listed on their website if I recall correctly and you could give them a call make sure you get the US company. ]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:39:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7480&PID=70936#70936 new owner : Is that awning a custom fit up?????... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7480&PID=70932#70932 Author: Craneman

I am a new 179 odder with the axle riser  & was soooo disappointed with the R-dome for it... (see pix) 


So imagine how excited I was when I found the following online yesterday... a 2016 "Woodie" R-Pod 179 with a Fiamma Awning (made right in my "backyard" Orlando Florida - see attached... I think I could live with this!!!!


Here it is in traveling position:

Does anybody else love this?Star

Welcome!

I would really like to see those pictures when you can post them. I am thinking about making two items. The first is a cover for the slide-out on our 179. The second is an awning. I'm not sure if I want to make one the full length of the track or just one sufficient to cover the back over the door with some extra for the sides to shield the door when it rains.

Can you explain the "stress point needs?"

They must have changed them somewhat from what us 'smaller' pod owners have.  Our r-dome came with our 177 in March of 2011.  Install it by myself in about 10 minutes, less time than that for take-down.  Outside of having it blow down in a nasty storm with high winds and trying to keep no-see-ums out, no problems with ours.]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2016 19:31:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7480&PID=70295#70295 new owner : Welcome to the group! http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7480&PID=70289#70289 Author: Leo B

Hello there. My name is Sean. I bought a 2016 rpod179 last september. Luckly i was able to get out 3 times before i put it up for the winter.  I just love my unit. I was told the sreen room add-on was a bad buy. And i'm glad i passed on it. This fall i ran into another 179 pod owner with the room and he hates it..I just got done making a white waning for my pod. Ill post pics as i get the pod out for the spring..As i work for a tent company i could mimic some of the stress point needs..Hope evryone has an enjoyable camping season..Sean]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:47:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7480&PID=70287#70287
