We also have a 2015 RP 179 and have decided to sell the R-Dome that came with it.  We bought our Pod in May, but just set it up this past weekend for the first time.  We're not crazy about it, so we plan to sell it.  It has all the parts, instructions and the carrying case.  It has only been up this past Friday and Saturday.  It wasn't that hard to set up...easier than I thought it would be.  But we would just like some type of awning, as opposed to a tented room.  I'm asking $200 and I'll take care of shipping costs.

Good Morning,
I travel on my own.  Having set it up, do you honestly think I could do it on my own?  ( I don't think my dog would be much help ) If so,
I would probably wish to  purchase the dome from you.  I have been deliberating about just a visor also.  Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, Caroline

Others may have a different idea, but I think it takes two people for the first step of setting it up, and that's running the bead of the Dome into the awning channel on the Pod.  I was able to push it through about 85% of the way myself.  But when it hit the bend in the channel over the door, I need my wife's help to guide it through the bend.  I did the rest of the setup easily myself. If I set it up again, I might begin to enter the bead from the rear of the Pod (where the bend in the channel is) instead of from the front like I did this past weekend.

Thanks so much for your input.  I have viewed a couple of videos of R dome being
installed solo, by tall guys.  I guess I will have to feel brave.  Since I travel on my own, perhaps I am
already stupid/ brave enough to try it :-))

I'm 5'10" and I needed a step stool to reach the awning rail.  And if the step side of the trailer is on blocks like it was for us this past weekend, it's a bit of a stretch.
