Sale On R-Pod Trailer Visor by PahaQue

Originally posted by rpodcamper.com I'm working with a VERY Local Company (less than 5 miles from my home) on a design that we feel just may work.  They are willing to working on it as trial and error.  I will post if we get it to work out.  I have lost faith in PahaQue as the one of the Owners Jeff will not follow through with what he says.  He told me he would do something and did nothing.....  < ="cosymantecnisbfw" co="cs" id="SILOBFWID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;">

sammycamper,
We had an r.dome and sold it. As we have a 181G, we do all our camping in the back of our 'pod at the "garage", we had no use for a room on the side. From what I've seen, they do quite well in inclement weather, just as long as you don't try to erect it on a windy day.

rpodcamper.com,
I've been back and forth with Mike since February, he has always responded. I will admit to doing a little "prodding" and they don't seem to "deliver" on their promises in what I would consider "a timely manner", but maybe that is because they are an entire continent away. In his defense, he has ultimately followed through on his commitments each time.

What I'm hoping for is a working visor which can be used as a pattern for subsequent r.pod visors. If we know that they simply will not work unless they are the full length of the track or have at least 18" of "drop", or whatever, we will have a starting point for any future units. Then maybe we won't have to go through all the trial, error, and frustration.

I look forward to your update, Old and Mrs Dingo. I really would like this visor thing to work. We got our Pod in October of last year, and really have not had a good weather outing with it yet. The first was the best weather, because it was just October cold; but the Pod hadn't been weather sealed properly at the factory, and we couldn't keep it warm. Our dealer took care of that problem, but every trip since has been dominated by nasty weather. However, the rDome has impressed us every time. The first time, we were just impressed by its size and versatility. On another trip, we camped through multiple serious downpours. The Pod itself is kind of a nice experience in hard rain, because it feels like such a cozy wrap-around protection from the storm. The rDome, though, was amazing. We leave our dogs in crates under the Dome, and they stayed nice and dry in spite of the extremely heavy rainfall all around them. On another trip, it absolutely saved the dogs and us from the most mosquito infested weekend we have experienced in years, plus lots of drizzle. The netting doesn't appear to be no-see-um proof; but it sure does the trick for the bugs we experienced. On the most recent trip, the Dome withstood amazingly strong and relentless winds for 3 days and 2 nights. That particularly surprised me, because it seems like I'm trying to stack a house of cards when I'm putting the Dome up. Once everything's in place, though, it's a remarkable shelter (I'm knocking on wood here).

I received mine in March, tested the ketter size in my channel to ensure right fit and placed back in box.

The four month turn around is definately not acceptable.  I was lucky and only had to wait three weeks.  (I did email them a couple of times to check on delivery :)  My expectation would be that if they have had numerous issues with the length of the Visor not fitting newer models - they probably need to be more specific on their order form (Model #, length of trailer, track size, etc).  There is enough variation now in R-pod sizes that more questions need to be asked.  On my latest return, I was asked how much track was left on each side of the Visor?  If you are requesting one that is 190" than that takes away the guess work for sure!  If you ever receive a product that is satisfactory - I would really like to hear how you like it (and also see pictures!)  All I heard from my family is that it looked like a giant broken pringle :)  I see the potential -- but they need to have consistency in what they are sending.  Again, I appreciate your feedback - it truly helps in making educated decisions.
