Our original 171 had the snaps, our 179 has the suction cups.

Don't sell the Rdome short, I love mine and it was a major consideration for getting a trailer this small. It doubles your living space. I set mine up alone the first time in about 30 minutes with no instructions, it's very easy after fumbling a bit the first time. I have only set mine up a handful of times as I have only had my 179 a couple of months. I can set it up in about 15 minutes now by my self.

Thank You! One last question;  Does your R-Dome assembly include 'Snap Fast Fasteners' ?  Our instructions are not very  clear and although the contents show these to be included, we received plastic looking suction cup hooks....but nothing about how they are used and no 'snap fast fasteners' .

We really like our r-dome , it takes my wife and I about 10 mins to set it up. We use it often, just not at our trips to Cape Hatteras because of the wind/gust that they have near the beach.

I would like to know if anyone uses their sunroom.  I was told by the dealer that it takes about 30 minutes to set up and once you have done it, you will never do it again because of the time and instability from wind once up.  I opened the box from the dealer and the instructions were different than what was included in the parts bag.  Upon calling the dealer, I was told they would send me the 'old' parts but so far have not received anything and wonder if I should bother calling again if it is not worth setting up.  any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
