Forest River says give it a month.  They apparently don't want individual owners trying to get their own deal.  I'm waiting, but not for long.  If you have an awning, no rdome for you.  This is arguably better.

ok here is a question.  How are you supposed to get in and out of that?  All I see are windows, no doorway unless you can only get in from the doorway of the TV.  I looked again and again for a door on the 3 walls of the awning, don't see one.

Thanks, I should have watched both instead of only the first one.

Looks complicated to me. I have an R Dome anyway, but this is close to an R Dome for those who still want one, and cant get one.

I agree with you mjlrpod.  Although I thought the R Dome was complicated the first time I put it up.  With practice it became second nature as now I can put it up by myself in 15 minutes.

You can buy it in Europe for about $650-700. It weighs about 35-40 pounds

It does look complicated.  Like some engineer on a Mountain Dew overdose designed.  Still, I want one.

If you get one you would have the best of all worlds:
- Nothing.
- Awning only.
- Awning with ScreenRoom.

If you have a number, address, or anything that would allow me to contact a European supplier that would be very helpful.  Forest River would not even give me the model number as they apparently don't want individuals buying their own...no doubt they wish to sell them at a nice markup.  The price you mentioned is very doable.
