We went on our first trip last weekend with our new RP-178, and "tried"
to put up the r-dome. It was windy, and it kept collapsing on us and it also did not fit the track of the trailer - it was way too short. I can't seem to get any answers about how many models there are, but ours definitely did not fit and seemed to be very flimsy! We finally ga e up and decided to return it. Anybody else have this experience?

The track is longer than the domes so that's not an issue. And there have been many domes over the years but only 1 model has been produced now for a few years so there shouldn't be an issue of having the wrong one.

Well Travis, we were so lucky some dealers have old 150 models of domes laying around and want to get rid of them that is what they installed on our pod. It took us a year to convince the dealer that they put on the wrong size.
