   We did a dry run set up with the r dome on our maiden trip last week with our 179 HRE.  The Dometic r dome came with our unit when we purchased it.  I agree with other comments on this post, the fit is just weird.  The length of the roof attachment section if at least 18" longer than the track.  I am also assuming that the pronounced slope of the side walls is probably due to the height of the HRE with the risers.  We didn't really try to attach the sides using the suction hooks because the wind picked up but I could see there would probably be some fit questions there also.  Good luck on your trial run.

	We have a 179 with r-dome also. We haven't tried it yet. But it is a "Dometric Cabana - Lightweight RV Dome Awning" Model 747FGN13.102. We'll be putting it up this week-end for dry run.

	it is the right one as Furpod said. and that does happen with 179's we've seen. they just fit weird cause of the weird shape of your Pod.

	Dometic Cabana, 13 foot. That is the right one. They are mildly generic.
