r-Dome Revisited

Thanks, sammycamper!!  That's pretty cool - and smart of you to have it done so professionally!

Too late for us, but I'd vote for that solution to the slit in the screen to accommodate the step!

Sure will, but it will be a while. Best I can describe is that we put a slit through the slide screen at the steps (just big enough for the steps to slip through). We left all of the excess slide screen (on our dome it was about 3 feet too long)), and when we cut the slit for the steps, we made sure the screen had equal amounts of left-over screening on each side. We wrap that screen around the inside of the corners of the tent area (it's stiff because of the left-over track). We also put a couple of heavy objects, like a cooler, etc., on top of the screen overlap in those corners to hold everything in place. Hope you can picture it. Have to admit that the first couple of times we set up the R-dome, we made it a challenge and spent a lot of time playing with the issue of gap. You do have to work with it at first.

I forgot to mention that if you order from FR directly, you will incur a rather high shipping charge.  Sometimes your local dealer can consolidate orders and can actually sell it to you for less.  

Easiest way to make sure you get the one that is sized for your Pod is to call and order through Forest River.
