To order the new Rdome is $650.00 plus shipping. I guess I will be trying to sell the existing one to someone that has a 2013 or older model. The company "made an improvemt to the dome". Meaning it now is long enough to fit the newer models.

I have been emailing the company today about it. I received the old Rdome and it doesn't fit well. I was disappointed to hear that they just released the new one to fit my 2015 179. As soon as the company sends me the information I will pass it on.
Guess I will be selling the old one that came with it in September when I purchased my 179.


You should have no trouble selling it, we have lots of people looking for them here and on the FB group.

I will be picking up my 179 next week. It has the dome tent. I'm happy to hear it works. I haven't seen it up in person. Does it fit over the door? Can you walk out of the 179 and directly into the dome?

While FR is working on a dome that will fit the 179 "better".. we have MANY MANY 179 owners who use the current dome and are happy with it.

I recently called Forest River about this, and what they told me is that the RDome's currently out there do not work with the RP-179.  They said that they are coming out with a new Rdome which will be exclusively for the 179.  They don't have them yet, they were supposed to be there by now, and they expect them anytime.  They didn't say if they will be distributing them to the dealerships, or if one would have to order it from them directly.

Pacque tent, awnings and covers has a new awning out now for r-pods that looks really neat and easy to put up.  Mine will be arriving in a week.  You can see it on their website, but the spelling I have above is not right.  The new awning cost $499 and looks very workable in that you can leave sides open or close them up.  Similar to a R-dome but a lot easier to put up.

The correct spelling is PahaQue Wilderness online

I just checked online and the largest Dometic A&E Dome I see is 13 feet.  They used to be available in 16'.
