I bought a trailer cover from Amazon. It's made in China and is Polypropylene, size two and fits my R-171 perfectly. The importer is Classic Accessories and it seems well made. I was able to install it by myself. I paid $132.00 for it with free shipping. I'll let everyone know how it holds up in a Minnesota winter this spring.
My pod is holding up well and I used it for 20 nights this year.

Classic accessories is the same brand that we bought from Northern Tools. we have a 173 and it fits perfectly. I recall that the price was in the same range($125-140).  It is a good cover and would buy it again.

Ours is coming up on it's third season, but we only have it on 3 months or less each year.

Glad to see this thread, I've been looking for a R-177 cover.  We went to a dealer seminar last Saturday on winterizing, and they had a 10% off sale on covers, plus everything in their store. (Excluding the sales lot). I inquired if the Brand "X" (ADCO) they were selling had a cover for the R-Pod line and I was told the only cover available was made by Forest River @ $750.  What a rip off!  I know dealers like to make money, but this seemed way too much. Needless to say, I took a pass on that offer
Just went to Northern Tool, found the Classic Accessories Model 80-115-151001-00 for under $170.   According to a review on Classic Accessories site, this will fit the '13 R-177 snugly.  

Thanks Pod People for the post and lead to Northern Tools, their prices are very fair!!
