R-Dome Mosquito Net / Winter Cover

I am working on our list of options we want when we set out to purchase our new Rpod soon.

I love this forum and have been able to find way more info here then I expected. Far more info than the dealer has been able to provide. Thank you all for an outstanding resource.

Looking at the Rdome and after viewing several Youtube videos, I have not been able to determine if there is mosquito netting that goes along the bottom of the Rpod. What keeps bugs from coming up underneath?

Additionally the winter cover has my interest. I am not yet sure what we will be doing for storage summer or winter. I am thinking the cover would be good to have just to protect the roof against UV rays in the summer, and winter weather we get here in Michigan?

Your thoughts and wisdom will be appreciated regarding these questions
Thank You

Yes there is. We purchased a 2016 179 and it came with an R-dome. In the R-dome box was a long piece of the netting attached to the bead that would go at the bottom of the 179. That's the good news. The bad news is there is no way to work the netting around the steps or up and over the axle/behind the wheel.

I will be exploring ways to utilize the netting.

In our 'Pod' there is my wife, myself and our greyhound. The 179 is just fine for us. We are not new to camping. One of the mods I made was to remove the hassock that was nearest the bed (3 screws)and open up the floor space. I have made numerous other mods and if you search the forum you can find many that are very neat.

Good luck and congratulations.

Thanks for the reply.

marwayne, I like your idea. Do you have any instructions/guidelines on how you did this mod?

Thanks.

Now that looks perfect.

Can you provide more details regarding the product such as;
Where did you get it?
Maybe a close up picture of the product.

Thanks
