Forest River replaced the Rdome. Took a month or more but now I have a brand new RDome. I've used it on 6 trips and love it.
We have friends with awnings and we always end up in the dome if it's raining or the bugs are bad. |

I have camped several times near 1/2 million dollar class A motorhomes, Mega 3 axle fifth wheels, and just plain super nice campers, and i'm always shocked that people are staring at me and my r-dome. In july I was surrounded by several "upscale" units, and not only did I give 6-7 pod tours, I had one older guy come by, stop infront of me, and said " THAT wins best in the park by far". Crazy as it is, merely a tent, it is a giant attraction and I absolutely love mine. It's very rare I don't set it up, usually only on short weekend trip in late September - October due to stronger ocean side winds.

My dome ripped in the same place. Alison the bag ripped where the handles are sewn on. I just took mine to sewing machine and used some waterproof fabric placing on top and inside and sewed it back for reinforcement. No more problems.

Wouldn't go anywhere without the dome. Makes a nice guest bedroom too!

We bought our 2011 177 used and the r-dome came with it, still wrapped in plastic, never even opened. I was skeptical, but the wife was giddy over it. The first outing when we unwrapped it to set it up, we discovered that the channel was smaller than the rubber piece that goes in it. We were very discouraged. Once home, I tried to modify the rubber (actually called kedar) and lubricate the channel but still no go. We then found that a 12' strip of kedar was about $15. So we ordered, she sewed it on and now it slips through just fine. I have also come to like it. On sunny days, we take the front panel off and have a nice shaded porch.
