Picking up our 178 later this week!

We are having a ball getting things ready to go for our first outing next week. We hope to have the time beforehand to try our hands at putting the R Dome up. So far, everything is working great. The only mod so far was to cut the dinette plywood under the cushion to make it much easier to access the storage there. Many more mods to come as I also enjoy wood working.

Psikes, have fun with the R Dome the first time out of the box. We set ours up first time at the campsite and it took us awhile to get it all right. Main problem was that the bead on the pod side would pull out of the channel for maybe 12 to 15 inches. We found that if we tightened the rafter poles too tightly, it would pull out. I heard they opened up the channel a bit more to facilitate sliding the bead in but maybe it's too loose now? We had to loosen the rafter tension on the tent to solve it. Anyone else experiencing this? Jim

Congrats!!

It would be more meaningful if you were to post a picture or 2 of your roof.  What do you question about the caulking on your pod?
