R-Dome, yes or no? - Event Date: 19 Mar 2016 - 30 Apr 2016

We use ours a lot. We also zipped out the front so its just for shade and rain protection. If we are leaving early I will take it down the night before. We get lots of comments on both the dome and the pod. I see some new models have awnings attached now. I would miss the side walls.

We use ours on every trip. With 2 teenagers and the dog, we need room to stow things outside of the pod, but still out of the elements. Lets us set up a covered cook and clean station as well as a move camp chairs, dog bed, bikes, etc out of the rain/elements. The R-Pod is small which keeps us outside as much as possible. That's why we camp. Having the R-dome keeps the small indoor space clear of clutter while we camp. PahaQue or R-Dome, either way, just nice to have an enclosed area to expand into. 

That is a wise decision.  For the first year we didn't even get our r-dome out of the bag.  Second year we used it if we were going to be in a spot for at least 3 days and like it has been mentioned above; a lot of campsites won't allow for  the area the dome takes.  We probably use ours 10 - 15 % on our camping trips.  I like the ease of setting up the pod (less than 10 minutes) and of getting ready to go the next day.  Usually we like to leave early when getting to a destination and the thought of having to tear down the r-dome (less than 10 minutes) reminds me too much of our pop-up camper / tent days.  Don't like putting things away that are wet.  Ours came included with the pod, we didn't order it and even the dealer was surprised when he saw it in our stowaway under the bed.

Thanks Pod People,

We use our dome a lot and really love it and depend on it . We usually use it if we are staying in one place at least 2 nights. It goes up in about 15 minutes and comes down a little faster. It gets easier to put up after the first few times.
