Hi All

I'm struggling to find an R Dome for my 176 which I am picking up tomorrow. No dealers have them in stock that I can find. They also seem to be priced expensive compared to other dome style awning/cabanas that you find on Ebay etc.

Does anybody know if any of the Dometic Cabana's work for a 176 or if there is another manufacturer out there that makes something similar that will work with a 176?

Thank you

We also own a RPOD 176 and bought the R Dome from the dealer. It is made by Dometic. We love it! It extends the living space and is a great place to store things that you do not want to get wet, etc. It was pricey but we felt worth it.  Very easy to install (did it with 2 people) in about 10 minutes the first time. From what I have read, the newest ones are a big improvement over the older versions. You do need to watch the edges of the track when sliding it in and we plan on using a metal file to smooth those out so that they do not catch and tear the fabric.

Check into the flea market section from time to time, I bought a dome for my 171 (same size as the 176) at half of dealer price from a guy who got one with his pod and didn't like it.
