It looks like the 2016 Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailers have space for a 10' awning. With that in mind, to add one to your R-Pod, you will need each of the following components:

For the awning itself, you can use part # LCV000211447. It measures 10' long and extends 8' out. It's a solid black fabric.
For the drive head, you can use part # LC272067.
For the idler head, you can use part # LC273479.
For the pull strap, you can use part # LC292794.
For the support arm, you can use part # LC281154. It's 69" standard.

Each of these components is a solid black and are made for a manual style awning setup. I've linked to video reviews of each for you to look at.

If you don't have the rail already on your R-Pod, then you can use part # LC715217, which comes in 8 foot long sections. You will need to buy two and cut one to get the full 10'.
