HuronSailor, can you post a pic of this? I do the same as Leo B with the silicone, and it slides through the track fairly well (unless it hits one of the screws the track is fastened with). The only other thing I did was remove the front fabric panel, so it's more like an awning. I'm able to put it up by myself now. And the suction cups pop off a lot, does anyone have any other ideas? I was thinking of trying some bungie cords or something along that lines.

Yeah, we use ours all the time..... gives some great extra space. We use silicon spray of the track and the plastic glides in the groove. I stand on one side and just feed it all the way. Only takes a couple miuntes.

Hey HuronSailor thanks for the info I was wondering if I was doing it okay it made sense to me but we just ran across another rpoder and he was running it straight down as well.  We are on the west side of Michigan do they do roundups in our area?

pugspod - I used the suction cups that came with it.  I line them up the holes then pushed down on the suctions and locked then hooked to the eyelets.  We just came off a week of camping and it rained for 2 days and I had to resuction only 2 the whole week.

We always set ours up with the rdome walls coming straight down the side of the pod rather than following the contour of the roof, but I saw several set up exactly like yours at the last roundup and I think it makes much more sense than the way we've been doing it.

The Rdome looks good.  How'd you get the sides so nice and tight?  We didn't have any instructions so just snapped the material to the pod's snaps.

We are enjoying our new rpod with the rdome. :-) The set up instructions are terrible so I was wondering if anyone sets there up similar to this?
