None that I know of.  We've had a few register over the years but then they never posted.

We were lucky and our dealer got FR to exchange our rdome that came with our new 179 for the correct one that just came out last month. The one that came with our Rpod was still in the box so I'm sure that helped. 

My wife and I still need to get an outdoor rug for the Rdome. Can you tell me what the best size would be for the rdome?

I haven't had my dome up yet, but I'm thinking about 9x12. the dome is supposed to extend 8' out. I'm thinking about cutting the rug out by the tire and the taking the extra foot to extend under the camper. That way it would be all carpet under the doorway too. I think the dome is 13' wide, so 12' foot seems perfect to me. I'm waiting for my new dome, my dealer is trying to get an exchange for me, because I bought the original one last year before they came out with the new one. so i'm not sure about the rug size, but that's what I'm thinking

Is there a code or number on the box of the new dome they exchanged for you. I just took delivery of my 179 last week . It was built mid April. I am wondering if I have the one they just sent you

I haven't received the new dome yet. Hopefully being sent soon to my dealer from Forest River. The old dome box(which I haven't returned yet) has the model #747FGN13.102 on it and the date as 0414

We haven't gotten our dome yet either but hopefully later this week. We were thinking about ordering a 16ft mat. The 179 is 20ft and the dome looks like it spans most of the length.

I just checked the box in my new 179 and I have the old Rdome part number with a date of 10/2014 on the box.called Gillette Interstate RV in Michigan and ask them to get it exchanged for me. They told me FR refuses to do an exchange because there is only a little difference in the two Rdomes. I no that Gillette could get FR to exchange if they wanted to, but they don't care to help now that they have there money. Does anyone have a number to the Rpod rep at FR
