   I am camped on the ocean in Ventura California and another Rpod owner stopped by the say "hi" while I was putting up my DIY awning. 

They told me about a local RV store, Barber RV, that had Rpod awnings they needed to get rid of. Hoping they were actually awnings, I called but learned that they have R-Domes (I already have one). The parts department told me she had just "found them." They are new and apparently they had been ordered by customers but not picked up.  She told me she wasn't sure of the price but they'd be about $150. Even with shipping that's a great deal if you're looking for one.

Their website with the number to their parts department is https://www.barberrv.com/

I am posting this because list members often ask about replacement R-domes. I have no connection to this RV store and don't know any more information than I have posted.

	Rdomes can be pricey-I think ours(179) was about $650. be aware that different RPod models take different rdomes depending on size, window/door placement and color combinations. the earlier pods(pre 2014??) had a smaller keder rail for attachment. Make sure you know what you need and what they have for sale before you buy. I am not trying to be negative-only cautious as to make/model/size, etc We have an Rdome, we use it and we love it!!

	Agreed on all points (I also love my R-dome). But definitely ask a lot of questions.

	The models with the 9mm keder were built during 2009-2010. Our 177 was built the second week of January 2011 and came with the larger 14mm keder which is the same size on all pods built since then.

	I'm having no luck locating replacement Rdome aluminum ceiling poles (the telescoping ones). Any ideas?

	Same here and it was crazy expensive. About $150 for one pole. I thought about buying a used one tp have on hand for parts.

	one of our poles split so I purchased a replacement set of tent poles. I had to cut the new ones to the length of the original poles. the new poles are slightly smaller in diameter so I had to use some tape wrapped around the new poles where the dome poles clip on. they work ok. In the mean time I learned you can disassemble the original poles, trimmed off the split part and reassembled them. They also work well even though they are 4 inches shorter. Good luck
