Without question, the r-dome withstands winds better.

But, if you've got high winds on the way, its time to stow away the awning - no matter what type you have.

We really like the dome.  I do wish the hook-n-loop (i.e., "Velcro") fasteners did a better job in high winds.  Had the thing blow completely out of the track one night.  I blame that more on me, though, than the dome.  Moral of the story: if setting up in windy conditions, pay a little extra attention to anchoring.]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2014 21:50:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=55108#55108 PahaQue Awning vs Rdome : We have one and prefer the dome. ... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=55042#55042 Author: pepmac

We have the new awning for the R Pod designed just for the R Pod I personally like the dome room better. If having a place to dry the dome is not a problem for you if you should have to go home with it wet do the dome a video of how to put it up and it is in my opinion just as easy as the awning .]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2014 11:44:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=55041#55041 PahaQue Awning vs Rdome : The one thing to point out, the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=54651#54651 Author: furpod

The one thing to point out, the new awning doesn't do anything a dome doesn't, but the dome DOES do stuff the awning doesn't.. ]]> Mon, 01 Dec 2014 23:12:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=54651#54651 PahaQue Awning vs Rdome : Originally posted by M3Thanks... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5594&PID=54648#54648 Author: kymooses

Thanks all!

I know the owner of the first prototype of Pahaques Rdome equivalent.  He likes it a lot.  Others have and are ordering them.  Last time I spoke with PahaQue they told me they have a lot of orders for them now.

Unless PahaQue has gotten better in their Quality control I would not recommend them. I lost money in the dealing with them. Never got a product that worked.

Edit by Rpodcamper.com - Dec 1, 2014 - 3:34 PM - My comments about PahaQue are my own and based off past experience with this company.  Your experience may differ ..........

I have both the Dometic r-dome and the PahaQue visor; I've had the r-dome for five years and picked-up the visor in May of this year.  They're two very different things, with two very different uses - the r-dome is a large, convertible screen room with storm/privacy flaps, while the visor is a lightweight, small-footprint shade.

The r-dome takes me 10-12 minutes to put up; the visor 7-8 minutes (both on my own).

Both are somewhat awkward to put up.  I expect that with the larger screen-room like r-dome.  But, I was surprised to find how fiddly the visor was - it stays up based on a tensioned fibreglass pole and can be quite frustrating at times to get it set correctly.  If you're much under my height (6'0"), you'll definitely need a step stool to put up either one.

The r-dome is quite large and you can easily fit a picnic table and a couple of lawnchairs under there, while two lawnchairs and a small side table is about all that will be shaded by the visor.

Frankly, I'm not that impressed with the PahaQue visor.  Its got quite a small footprint and its a bit fiddly to put up.

Has anyone gotten the PahaQue awning yet?  I am torn between that and the Rdome.  I have had PahaQue products before and was very impressed not only with the product, but with their customer service.  When I contacted them, they said the volume of orders was high, so obviously someone is ordering them.........I just wondered what podders out there thought of it.  

Thanks!
Mary
