 Topic: Adapting a new r-dome to older pod?Posted: 24 Jul 2015 at 9:36am |
|
I am looking at purchasing a 2nd hand newer r-dome to use with my 2010 171. I know the new r-dome uses a 14mm keder while my pod only has the 9mm keder. Which is easier, changing out the keder rail or refitting the dome with a new keder strip?
Where can I get 14mm keder rail? Forest river has it but they would need to cut the rail in half as shipping something 16' long is expensive.

I think it would be easier to change the strip on the R Dome if you have access to a sewing machine. You can buy the strip that fits into the rail that is already installed on you pod. Try a website that sells supplies for sails and sailboats. Noah's Marine is one retailer, I'm sure that a Google search will show several.
good luck |

I ordered the new keder channel from Forest River.
I had them cut it in half as it costs ~$200 to ship a 16' long box but only about ~$30 to ship an 8' long box. I'll post some pictures once I get it installed.
