Mid 2011.. if it's a "Rings Pod", it should have a small keder, if "Seringetti", large.

Just came back inside from the rain after experimenting with jControl and Bluetooth control of the Jensen JMW6A A/V system. "Pairing" my 'phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) with the Jensen took me more than a few minutes but I'm pleased with the system. Was able to execute commands from 25 feet behind the 'Pod no problem. My grumbles over not having the wired remote just reversed to delight at not having to get up from the fireside chair to control the volume.

Didn't know about that JControl app. Just downloaded it, now I'm all excited to try it out on our next outing.
THANKS!!

So far as I know, ALL the 9mm keder domes are blue and grey. At least the 3 of ours are. I have seen maybe a fifty of them in person..

We also have a PahaQue visor which has a 14mm top edge and fits perfectly. I can measure the rDome at 9mm. If I try to finesse the track too much the visor may hang up. Forest River and my local dealer both suggested closing up the track a bit to avoid pull-out. A slight bend only on the track lip might do the trick. May try that on the first 6" or so. I did follow advice on the forum to file smooth the ends of the track and used an old wax candle to lube the track. Hanging a wet Dome from the deck railing iin the sun & breeze works after it stops raining. It's pale green & white, current style. Gotta take some pix.

I agree that you probably just need to close up the opening a bit.

I suspect you do not have a 9mm dome. The few people who had this happen, the dome falls out of the track completely. Some 14mm keder rails have needed to be closed just a bit with a pair of tape wrapped vice grips. It's a manufacturing tolerance issue. What color is your dome? Do you happen to have a picture of it setup? It does have a model number, on a tag, sewn inside. |

Yes, the rain soaked (or even dew dampened) R-dome is a joy to deal with. That's why it almost always rides home in the bed of the pick-up. We have the huge advantage of parking the 'Pod inside a big steel building with a big blacktop drive. As soon as the sun is high enough to heat the blacktop, the R-dome gets spread out and dries almost instantly. Sweep it off, fold it up and stuff it in the sack.

On the keder track size thing: ours was new/in the box tucked under the bottom berth when we took delivery in late July. Silly me tossed the carton into recycle before we headed out on our first Pod trip. Didn't know about keder size differences until I spotted forum postings on the subject. I've only had pull-out issues (9mm rod in 14mm track) in the first foot or so during install. Easily rectified but not right. We like the rDome until it's time to dismantle and pack up a wet one that's decorated with fir needles.
