Greetings,

We live in Kingsport, TN and have a 2017 (green) Rpod 180.

We just bought a new Clam.  We have set it up in the driveway just to make sure it was okay.  But we would rather have an Rdome or maybe a ParaQue Awning or Side Tent.

If anyone has one of these and would like to trade for a new Clam, Please let us know.

Thanks,

Chris

If I hadn't just bought a Clam this summer I would have traded you. I really like mine. Easy, lightweight, bug proof, keeps the dog in, and I can set it up wherever I want. 

I do have a green rdome that is barely used for sale that would fit your 180. Price is $250, let me know if you're interested.

Thanks

Thanks for the message. If we can't trade for one then we would be very interested in yours.

I have both. I don't know which I like better. I love my dome and use it all the time. But I wanted the added ability to enclose the picnic table to keep it dry and bug free. It's a great addition, I would say get both if you can.

I understand.  I’ve never used either one.  But our kids each bought a Clam for their families and we can always use one of those if we ever need to.  Being an old Scoutmaster I just think I’d like the dome or a side tent more.  But having both is a good idea.

I'm just too lazy to go through the effort to put up the rdome. The clam takes 30 seconds, by myself, and lays flat in 15 seconds if I'm expecting a windstorm. And its really buggy a lot in coastal NC, the rdome doesn't help much with that. The Clam contains our Pomeranian without having to tie him to something, which of course he would immediately wrap himself up on, he's not a rocket scientist LOL. And if I want to set it up down at the beach or anywhere other than on the side of the trailer, no problem.  

That's why I'm selling the rdome, let me know if you decide you want both or can't find a trade.

The dome does great against bugs. You do have to install the skirt. After the first fitting, the skirt takes 10 seconds to install. We used it from the Carolina coast to the great lakes, and pretty much everywhere in between.

Never tried the skirt, I guess it needs to be trimmed to a couple of pieces to clear the wheel? Anyhow I have my doubts about it being truly Carolina skeeter attack-proof. Seems like too many little gaps here and there. 

The first time I used the pod during a major mosquito event I found out the hard way that you can't open the pod windows all the way. Just a couple of those little corner holes resulted in at least 50 of the little devils finding their way in, took me most of a sleepless night to track 'em all down and kill 'em. 

We're having one of those skeeter swarm events right now, they always come about a week after a hurricane. DEET is my friend...
