Calendar Event: R-Dome, yes or no? Posted: 26 Mar 2016 at 6:00pm |
We use ours on every trip. With 2 teenagers and the dog, we need room to stow things outside of the pod, but still out of the elements. Lets us set up a covered cook and clean station as well as a move camp chairs, dog bed, bikes, etc out of the rain/elements. The R-Pod is small which keeps us outside as much as possible. That's why we camp. Having the R-dome keeps the small indoor space clear of clutter while we camp. PahaQue or R-Dome, either way, just nice to have an enclosed area to expand into.

We remove the front panels and use it for shade and to keep the rain out. Even in a downpour you can leave the windows and door open for ventilation. Seems to rain every time we go camping.
Easy to set up and take down as others have mentioned. Don't expect bug-proof if you opt to keep it all enclosed.

We use ours a lot. We also zipped out the front so its just for shade and rain protection. If we are leaving early I will take it down the night before. We get lots of comments on both the dome and the pod. I see some new models have awnings attached now. I would miss the side walls.

Use the dome for anything 2 days and over. North of 49 its great to keep mosquitos, blackflies out,99% bug proof. Nice to set in and read at night or when its raining. Buy 10" nail spikes and make hooks for the hold downs out of chain links (cut link off and fashion around top of nail.) When our dome is done, we will get another one.
