Calendar Event: Better suction cups for dome Posted: 12 Jul 2016 at 11:16am |
Does anyone know of a suction cup that works better than the ones that come with the Dome? I have a lot of trouble getting the suction cups to stick. My R-Pod is a brand-new 179.

Try wetting them first.

We did wet them, we tried hot water, and they still don't stick well. Is there anything else that someone could suggest?

I bought bigger suction cups with hooks at the hardware store and that seemed to help.

I haven't tried in for years, but wetting suction cups with glycerine works well for a lot of applications, like in johns. Glycerine is nearly non-volatile so it doesn't dry out as water does. It's also water soluble, so it will wash off quickly and won't hold a lot of dust/dirt. It's available in most drug stores.
