To use the Medium QuickFit Tent for Thule HideAway Awnings item # TH307056 with your 2016 R-Pod 179 Camper, you are going to need the Thule HideAway Awning item # TH490011. The Hideaway awning attaches directly to the side of your camper with included hardware. It is 9' 10" long x 8' wide and weighs 44 lbs. The one piece Thule Medium QuickFit Tent slides into the existing rails for an easy set up. I have linked both sets of instructions below.
