| We just ordered our first r-pod (179). We noticed that the r dome has no floor and is open under the trailer. Anyone come up with a good solution? Thanks! |

The dome has a screen piece that slides into the bottom track on the pod. As far as floor, most use a RV rug.

| I desperately need someone to help. My pole was stolen from dome. I have the three adjustable aluminum poles. I need to know the length of the pole that makes some shape and the aluminum poles click onto. It slides into the sleeve and forms dome in front. I thought it was fiberglass. I need to know how long it is to order a new one. Dometic doesn't know and doesn't sell just that poll. They sell the whole kit of poles for 200$. Please help rpod nation!!! |
