Dome Set-Up. The Definitive List

Originally posted by Chuck Originally posted by Caverkim My hubby cut our skirt into 2 pieces.  Made a cut slot spot for the step.  It seems to work well.   So you have one piece that goes from the front of the Pod back to the wheel well and a 2nd piece that goes from the wheel well to the rear of the Pod?

Yes, that's right.  With a slot for the step.  I can take photos next time we set it up and share them with you.  Someone else may have theirs handy though before I can do that. 

We did not have to cut our skirt, just ran it behind the wheel. Seems to work just fine.

we just put ours up on our 179. 35 minutes. Most of it was adjusting and re-adjusting. Any ideas on the suction cups or something better?  They dont stay on very well. Trying to get it tight enough for mosquito control. We have tried folding the edge inside at the front and wrapping the dome edge around the rear of the trailer. That seems a little better. Any ideas on that? Thanks.

Just done fooling with the rdome on our 179. Made some headway making it bug proofier. I took some of the kids swim tubes, those round spaghetti looking things they play with in the pool. About 4" round 4ft long. They're kinda sticky and you can form them from inside the dome and fill the cracks along the edges where the suction cups leave a gap. Regular 3" foam strips would probably work as well. The swim things are just sticky enough that they almost stay by themselves, and they bend around the curves. I'd post pictures but i'm too stupid.
