Funny thing about the R-Dome. The first year I never got it out of the bag, in fact stored it in the garage and was ready to sell it. Then the next year we met a fellow podder at a campground that couldn't say enough about it. He even took it down and re-installed it by himself in less than 25 minutes, pretty impressive. After that I used ours and if we are boondocking for 3 days or more, we use it. Glad I didn't sell, nice attachment, easy and quick to install.]]> Sun, 17 Jun 2018 18:24:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11740&PID=110843#110843 New 172 n BC : Welcome to the board.

Thanks. I asked for no stereo or speakers and to delete the roof antenna as well. It came with the stereo/ speakers/ roof antenna but at agreed price so no worries. I am going to make a simple Sunbrella awning to fit the C channel as I didn't want the R Dome thing. I was trying to minimize exterior holes in the unit.

Welcome to this forum Cruiser81. Now I know for fact there is at least one other pod like mine, even though ours is a 177, completely equipped w/o TV/entertainment system/micro/ and A/C. Enjoy your travels, be safe.]]> Sun, 17 Jun 2018 13:47:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11740&PID=110825#110825 New 172 n BC : Just got it home, ordered without... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11740&PID=110810#110810 Author: Cruiser81

Just got it home, ordered without TV/Micro/ roof air. Great service from FunTime RV in Tualatin OR. too.

I pulled all the TEC screws securing items to the frame and coated them with rust preventative, installed 2 6 Volt AGM batteries in a custom Aluminum lock box with a Xantrex Link Lite monitor, a 12V socket and hardwired a solar controller after the Zamp input. I am waiting for a battery cut off Sw. from Blue Seas and will install a shut off SW. for the stereo and other ' phantom loads'. Just finished vacuuming all the construction debris. I expected the fit and finish inside to be a joke, and was not disappointed! lol

Anyway it seems well suited to our needs and importing to Canada was easy!
