rdome

Ok, I know there is a topic on this already. I can't find what I wanted, so here's my question...
We set up the rdome and found that it did nothing to block the sun or heat.It was more like a sauna than anything. Why FR would do this is beyond me. Has anyone done any mods to correct this?
We considered buying the silver reflective fabric and sewing it to the top. We also thought about buying an easy up and doing the same. Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks!!

I will admit it isn't for everybody.. but we "don't leave home without it".

If the campsite has no shade it will be hot inside, just like a tent. If the breeze is from the wrong direction, the air inside will be still, like a tent.

It is more functional during cool or cold weather camping, or anytime it rains.. during the heat and sun of August..

You can roll all the windows up for more air flow, and/or you can unzip and remove the two sides that come off.. other than that.. well.. it is what it is.

If it's to miserable in the dome.. well.. go for a walk.. or go inside and read.. or go to the pool/lake/etc.. move your chairs to a shady spot.. etc etc..

In hot temps ours stays rolled up completely with the front door unzipped and rolled to the side so that we can close it if rain were to come.

We sit in ours under no shade in the middle of August like this with just a fan to blow some air on our faces. Works quite well.

Yeah, I figured the same. I was looking to see if anyone had modded their rdome to make it like an ez-up. Has anyone attempted to sew a fabric on or attach something to it? We thought about doing both or either. Just looking for suggestions.
