Red Top Mountain State Park.  We camped there and it was beautiful, just north of Atlanta.

The R-Dome isn't really that hard to put up.  One person doing it is a bit of of pain though.  The one thing that really helps is to open the end of the track a little more.  I just pried it open with a screw driver.  Then spray a little silicone lubricant on the first few feet of the track.  From there it is pretty easy really.

our first camping experience will be in our back yard as a test run.  Kind of apprehensive about the 
r-dome from what I have read could be a real bear.

Just purchased a 177, picking it up in the morning.  We are so excited!  Now all we have to do is figure out where we want to go!!!Wink  We live in the Atlanta area.  Anyone have suggestions for a quick weekend trip for first time out??
Happy Trails!

Welcome aboard!  I bought my RP171 at Campkin's last August and have been very happy with the service department.  You should have no problem having your issues addressed.

The r-dome pegs are installed at the dealership.  Strangely, I also had one peg out of place (rear - top)...

Hi techntrek
I found the door frame was not sealed right at the bottom front. I could see daylight through it. It'll just be caulked but it's a QA issue that will be documented. The other is with the dome, one grommet is positioned wrong and one of the awning straps was not sewn on. All real minor. Just really like the r-pod.

Welcome!  What issues have you found?

Wow, what is it with everyone taking so long to get a first trip in?  We couldn't wait a day - drove right to a campground.  Thumbs Up

Welcome to podding. Bought ours in April but could not get a trip in until two weeks ago. Worth the wait! It is finally cool enough to hit the road. Happy camping.
