There is another self-made option that Patriot Dave put together if the awning doesn't work out. The link below will take you to my YouTube channel and the specific interview with him on this item he rigged...

We just purchased our Rpod 179 ,2017 in November. So we are newbies. I love your awning and we were told that we couldn't add one. Did your unit have the strip for the dome and if so did you remove it? I looked up the type of awning you bought, and we really want to get one as well. I read all the other posts and am assuming you did not add any reinforcements other than extra mounting brackets , am I correct.

I have gotten smarter re: loading the bike (I have only taken 1 so far) in that I first hang the front wheel on the peg and then hoist up the rear wheel... instead of trying to muscle up both sides onto their respective pegs all at once... makes a world of difference!

Dear B-Hamiltons,
Here is the copy from the email I received directly from the folks @ Fiamma in Orlando re; 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. We can be reached at 407-672-0091 to order." BTW - I am glad I put all 3 sets of brackets on instead of just the 2... just to let you know.

Very nice setup. both the awning and bike rack. I've been thinking about how to set up a bike rack and now I have some new ideas.

Great job on the awning. We have been looking closely at the Fiamma awnings for our 179. Can you please tell us what adapter mounts you used to mount yours? Any extra details (and pictures) you and your intrepid son can provide would be hugely appreciated.
(I have been scouring the Web for over a year hoping to find a post like yours.) Thank you! |

Fred,
My doctor told me I need weight bearing exercise!
Actually just running the tongue jack all the way down gets it to a point where I can get the bike down fairly easily...I just haven't figured out how to do that without getting the grease from the chain all over me! Little WD-40 gets it off every time!. Actually, my spare is on my hitch & I was told that FR says no to bikes on that hitch (one would think they would actually be lighter than the spare???) Anyway as to checkers... Tootsie has no opposable thumbs so she is really quite useless when it comes to board games... no matter how large they are! |

Great job on the awning Tootsie (is that being presumptuous? ;) )
The bike thing is just a bit too high for my comfort level. I can still bench press, but clean and jerk is just not possible. I went with Swagman 64664 Hitch rack. Has worked out great for me mainly cuz I had the space on my hitch to put it. Also, nice job on the picture posting!! Do you play checkers on that carpet? fred
