r dome

We have a 179 HRE and the dome does hang down about a foot off each end. We haven't had any problems with the sod cloth and side panels laying flat on the ground though. Everything works fine except those stupid suction cuts. They are as worthless as teeth on a chicken. Even in the slightest breeze, they either unhook, open up or fall off. As much as I hate to drill holes and screw something to the outside of the pod, I may try to find some of the screw on tabs, originally used on the R-Dome. I've not had any experience with these, but by design, they look like they would be far more secure. Any thoughts?

Our R-Dome is too small for the 2015 178.  The part that attaches to the pod is lifted off the ground thus negating the bug deterrent.  Has anyone modified their Dome by adding fabric?  I know we're not about to remove the risers.  

Geez., ours covers the 178 clear to the ends & the suction cups are on the roof at each end. we can open the storage doors without messing with the dome. The first time that we installed it, the fit was like the picture shows. The next time I shortened up the strap across the ground & everything seemed to fit very well. Its been that way the other 2 times that we have put it up. Now if the suction cups would stick better...

Because there isn't really a correct size. they are a generic product actually designed for popups. An 11 footer would be to short and the sides wouldn't be down near the ground the way they should.

I to have the 179 and the R-dome hangs out about a foot or so past the the track.  As stated above it doesn't fit that great but I used it for a 5 day trip and really enjoyed the extra space.  The sides come down and cover part of the windows and the external storage compartment and that is a bit of a pain.  I may try to get a few more of the suction cups as it needs a few more.
