Sometimes you can find an rdome for sale on this forum, I sold mine here a couple years ago. That is if you really want one. Depending on the kind of camping you do you might find it too limiting in terms of location and setup/takedown time. I did. You can also consider a pop up tent like the Clam. Lots of discussion here on pros and cons, use the search function.

Many folks buy their additional items like chairs, tables, grills, generators, solar, etc online on Amazon or other outlets. Lots of discussion here on these topics. 

We use both the Rdome and an awning depending on the situation. 

The Rdome is great for foul weather or adding privacy. We have used in in some pretty heavy downpours and overnight rains. It's also good in the colder spring/late fall trips  for a warmer place to sit outside.

The tarp/Awning is something that we fabricated . it is easier to put up/take down and offers shade, but no real privacy or protection from wind blown rain.
