Does anybody know if R-domes are interchangable? Will a 2016 171 R-dome fit a 2014 171? Are they gray and green in color? Are they fully screened in? Do they have a floor?

In the absence of others I will take a stab at your questions. As a previous Pod/R-Dome owner I can speak with a tiny bit of authority. Since I'm not totally current  the term "probably" is code for my SWAG.

The 2017 domes for 2016 and 2014 171s will probably interchange. Early pods had a different sized keder rail but I think the change was in place by 2014. The domes differed for different Pod sizes so a 177/8  dome will not fit a 171.

Not sure about color schemes. I think they varied throughout the years.
They are fully screened with zippered weather panels.
They do not have floors.

Furpod will jump in and clarify all of this Wink

Early pods 2009-2010 had a narrower keder rail than the 2011 and later.  Since then the keder has remained the same size.  Charlie is 100% correct in that they are fully screened and do not have floors.  The r-dome that came with our 2011 pod was blue and yellow (a terrible color scheme for a Michigan State alumni).  I have seen 3 different color schemes throughout the years; there may be more, I am not sure.  All the shorter (original) pods that are 18' long have the same size dome.

Yes, they will interchange. Only the keder rail change in 2011 caused any issue.
