 Topic: Using tent with Risers?Posted: 22 Apr 2015 at 10:37pm |
|
I bought our R*Pod last year but haven't been able to get it on the road. I drove it to the shop to have the risers put on, but this spring will be the first time I use it with the tent/awning/thing.
Is there anything special I need to do, now that the trailer is 4" taller than when it left the factory? I'm a musician, so don't expect too much smart. 
Thanks! |

You might notice that the skirt of the Rdome is a little shorter with the risers on but It still fit for me.
Edit: add picture. I have the risers on in this picture.  |

We sprayed a little silicone in the tracks which helped it slide better when we put the dome on.

You shouldn't have any trouble using an R-Dome with risers; there's a reasonable amount of extra tenting at the base to fill the gap. No changes in the procedure to put up the dome. Of course, you will have to stretch a little further when running the keder through the top rail and also when attaching the supports... so you may want to bring along a stepstool if you're much under 6'.

Oh, a folding stool is just part of my camp gear whether I need it or not.
Thanks, everyone! |
