The new solar option really isn't an option, at least on my new Rpod 177. On the build sheet it is listed as 47-60011 Green Package (Led Lighting & Zamp Solar Port) (Mandatory Option)  1  $94.25.

Not really an option if it is mandatory. The panels themselves are an option.

well yes i know the connection itself isn't optional.  whether or not you buy the panel that goes in it is though.  just as the the c-channel that the rdome goes into is not an option, but whether you buy the dome that goes into it is.

Wingnut, If you look at my post on buying a 177, I posted prices. I paid $14,500 mine.

Wingnut, I did post the price. The price was on the build sheet. It is just for the wiring on the trailer side not the panels.

My pod was built the year before the solar, but I would have paid for that option!! Either way, I don't know what you paid, so it would be hard to say anything more. I don't know if its frowned upon on tge forum to post prices. Hoepfully not, but I'll wait for someone to clarify (eh hem, Doug).
If so, we should have a thread for that so new people can compare prices and benefit from our purchases!

it's always been up to dealers whether they are included in their price or an option.  same as the solar panels now on new pods.

dealers who've sold a lot of pods often times will always order and have domes included in their price.  there are plenty who don't like the dome though, and even more who wouldn't need or could use the new solar panel option.

I was wondering why the r-dome wasn't included myself, since the dealer was doing all he could to discourage us from purchasing one maybe they have had some customers with a bad experience with them. My mistake for not negotiating one in the price. Looking over the brochure the r-dome and bike carrier are the only options it didn't come with other than the special edition.]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2014 11:46:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4536&PID=44084#44084 New 182g owner : Just a question, why isn't... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4536&PID=44081#44081 Author: wingnut2312

Just a question, why isn't the rdome included? Ours came with it. Found out after the fact that there are all kinds of options that don't always get mentioned. Mostly it's due to not having one on the lot with all available options.

Welcome to the group.

G models are the best, congrats on the perfect Pod.

Domes are awesome and currently unless you dealer gives a nice deal on one they are cheapest from FR directly at this time.

Parts Administrator 574-642-3119 Ext 209 

Should be Kendra currently at that number.  I think last person who bought one got it for $523 + shipping, which they will often try to help with that by sending it to a dealer who locally has something coming from them already.

http://store.eurekatent.com/northern-breeze-screen-house

This is what I use. It's movable. Any of the four sides can be an awning and two of the sides are doors. I usually set it up in the rear and put an awning over/under my garage door if it rains. Add a propane heater and it's very warm with three walls down. I bought a paha'que awning for the door side and again put an awning under it if the screen room is on that side. I also bought three adjustable awning polls if I want two sides up. All four walls roll up if u want just a screen room. It's all water proof. They sell a add on floor too, but I didn't bother.

And welcome I'm sure you'll love yours as much as I love mineBig smile

Hello,
We are the proud new owners of a 2014 182g. We didn't  get an r-dome from our dealer mostly due to the sales person and the tech that did the delivery and walk thru telling us we didn't want one and that are more trouble than they are worth. Me personally have had no issues with setting up some of the most difficult tents in the past. And have an opinion that once I get the camper and campsite setup it would be just another task.
What is the majority opinion on this? The dealership says they have to contact Forest River and give them our vin for pricing. Has anyone here gone directly to the manufacture for an r-done is so what the contact number? Thanks in advance and looking forward to many new adventures.
