They were tenting so I got to watch the kids in the warm, dry Pod while the others broke camp.Big smile

On our Victoria Day Weekend our dome became an island, 4 inches of water all around us. The Provincial Park we were staying in refunded us part of our money, and that was their idea, I was very impressed.

I should be able to try it out in about 3 weeks. If it works well, I might even cut out the sides.....but then again, if I do that.....there is no going back.

I always leave the front off.  The side I leave on but usually rolled up.  I also put the picnic table under it.  That way the table is in the shade.

Thanks for the info. I picked up an R-dome off Craigslist and will give it a shot. They wanted 650.00 at the dealer I bought the 175 from. Hope I like it, but I always have an EZ up if I don't
