Never thought this possible! If you are Texas bound, more precisely in Arlington TX, and you wish to put-up your rpod dome awning while camping DON'T camp at TREETOP CAREFREE RV RESORT (1901 West Arbrook).
Why ???? you will not be allowed to put-up your awing.....apparently it's against the rules....the rpod dome according to management is classified as a tent!!!
Since I'm not one who stirs the molases....I complied....but at 38$ @ night......
The campground is superb and nothing wrong with the management....just thought I'd let you rpodders know about this policy.
Have a great one

Even if you tied the sides up? I don't understand campgrounds like that, but you can vote with your wallet in the future... ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

We have been in private ones that you could not have anything off the concrete pad and the dome would have extended into the grass.
I like the state parks as they don't seem to have these concerns. ------------- Terri and Craig and Panzer 2009 - 175 RPod 2000 Ford F250 XLT Extended Cab Diesel |

Looking at their website (pictures of Class-As only) and reservation system (can't reserve for tent trailers or tents), I'm not really surprised. If the owners have decided that they'd rather not have tent-ers, I suspect that easy-ups and screen rooms are out too. And frankly, I too would classify an r-dome as a tent as opposed to an awning. ------------- Craig :: 2009 RP171 towed by a 2017 F150 |

I would have to argue with them about the Dome being a tent. A tent can stand by it self and is completely enclosed. The Dome can't. But, I also think that they have their nose up in the air and so consequently not worth arguing with. I would go somewhere else.

I could see how/why the R-Dome get's confused as a tent. Did you ask the CG as to why they have that policy? You may have found that they didn't like the stakes in the ground or the fact that the R-Dome provided another room or.................................
Regardless, it's good info for folks in the future.
