We just ordered the awning too. We debated but in the end thought we'd give it a try. I am only 5' 3" so I am going to need a step stool to put it up. I like to get away from the bugs now and then. We had to pay almost $500 for it though. Linda

Hi Linda,
Wow! I didn't realize the awnings were so expensive. Our dealership here in Salt Lake City couldn't tell us what they cost. We bought the 1st of the 3 r-pods they had on the lot. We actually knew more about the floor plans and options than the salesman. I don't think he knew there was an awning. We'll be headed out to our red desert in April so I think we'll decide if we need the awning on that trip. We're really looking for shade. If we don't go with the r-pod awning we may purchase one of those free standing shade covers. Anyway, let me know how your first trip goes and I'll do the same. In good spirit, Suzette

That is what I liked about my dealer in ohio - he does not mark up the options - he set his base price on the unit and let me choose what options I wanted at dealer cost - the awing is a $400 option - still seemed expensive but really is nice to have and sit out under in the evening...

We had considered an instant set awning. In WI we have more issues with light rain and bugs. If I didn't worry about the screen I would just pick up an awning from Walmart. I think we would have had to put it 2 feet from the camper so the door would open. I will let you know how our first campout goes. I will post on the adventure forum. We are heading out on March 28th right after we pick up the camper for an overnight at Ottowa Lake state park. They have winter camping there. I can't wait to start hearing about other people's camping adventures. Linda

We are sooooo jealous of those of you who have their Rpods. We'll be picking ours up end of April or May 1st. We did buy an EZ up awning to use with our Rpod. We are also checking with a local awning company to have one specially made for the Rpod. We'll let you know how that works out.
Happy traveling, Darlene |

Hello all! We bought our 171 in Huntsivlle Al. We gave 12,400 for it. It has the white wood,microwave,tv,fridge and awning, I guess we did all right on the price. The awning took me and the wife about 20min. to put it up, it may be a little faster the next time. You will need a step stool to put the awning up unless you are very tall. I am 5 11 and needed one. Happy camping Jim.

I would love to see what it looks like with the white wood inside. That is what i ordered because I thought it would make it look a little roomier inside. If you get a chance will you take a couple of pictures?

Try some Gorilla Glue. Stuff binds to everything.
Be careful not to use too much as it expands while drying and could leak out the sides.
Good Luck!
