Sale On R-Pod Trailer Visor by PahaQue

I look forward to your update, Old and Mrs Dingo. I really would like this visor thing to work. We got our Pod in October of last year, and really have not had a good weather outing with it yet. The first was the best weather, because it was just October cold; but the Pod hadn't been weather sealed properly at the factory, and we couldn't keep it warm. Our dealer took care of that problem, but every trip since has been dominated by nasty weather. However, the rDome has impressed us every time. The first time, we were just impressed by its size and versatility. On another trip, we camped through multiple serious downpours. The Pod itself is kind of a nice experience in hard rain, because it feels like such a cozy wrap-around protection from the storm. The rDome, though, was amazing. We leave our dogs in crates under the Dome, and they stayed nice and dry in spite of the extremely heavy rainfall all around them. On another trip, it absolutely saved the dogs and us from the most mosquito infested weekend we have experienced in years, plus lots of drizzle. The netting doesn't appear to be no-see-um proof; but it sure does the trick for the bugs we experienced. On the most recent trip, the Dome withstood amazingly strong and relentless winds for 3 days and 2 nights. That particularly surprised me, because it seems like I'm trying to stack a house of cards when I'm putting the Dome up. Once everything's in place, though, it's a remarkable shelter (I'm knocking on wood here).

sammycamper,
We had an r.dome and sold it. As we have a 181G, we do all our camping in the back of our 'pod at the "garage", we had no use for a room on the side. From what I've seen, they do quite well in inclement weather, just as long as you don't try to erect it on a windy day.

rpodcamper.com,
I've been back and forth with Mike since February, he has always responded. I will admit to doing a little "prodding" and they don't seem to "deliver" on their promises in what I would consider "a timely manner", but maybe that is because they are an entire continent away. In his defense, he has ultimately followed through on his commitments each time.

What I'm hoping for is a working visor which can be used as a pattern for subsequent r.pod visors. If we know that they simply will not work unless they are the full length of the track or have at least 18" of "drop", or whatever, we will have a starting point for any future units. Then maybe we won't have to go through all the trial, error, and frustration.

Originally posted by rpodcamper.com I'm working with a VERY Local Company (less than 5 miles from my home) on a design that we feel just may work.  They are willing to working on it as trial and error.  I will post if we get it to work out.  I have lost faith in PahaQue as the one of the Owners Jeff will not follow through with what he says.  He told me he would do something and did nothing.....  < ="cosymantecnisbfw" co="cs" id="SILOBFWID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;">

Originally posted by Old Dingo&Mrs.Dingo I know my update has been a long time coming but, the latest visor for my 181G is finally here! After several e-mails from Mike about the size, we settled on a 170" visor. The track was a total of 190" long, but the rod wouldn't support the dry weight of a visor that long. I'm sure a wet day would be a "challenge". The visor came on Friday the 4th and it rained on Saturday so we couldn't try it until today, Sunday. We have found it is easiest to put the rod all the way through the visor, then put it in the track. After installation the visor worked just as promised! It stayed up, even if I pulled one side down, it "popped" right back up.      It even "needs" the hold down cords so it doesn't go too high! The visor covers both the window openings, so we can leave them open in a light shower. So, in closing I would buy a visor from Paha Que without hesitation, just specify a 170" visor for the 181,182, or 178, in other words all with a 18' coach. For the shorter units, I think a 158" would be the right call.

Here are our pictures. It only takes 3-5 minutes to set up.



We really like this one a lot! Much better than the last 3 we received from Paha Que. They now know the correct measurements for any they make in the future.
