You can thank your dealer for getting you the replacement, had nothing to do with forest river. They will not replace them. Your dealer did the exchange for you.]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2015 23:11:53 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=62096#62096 R-dome replacement : We got our 179 in April and luckily... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=62092#62092 Author: R-Pod'nFJ

We got our 179 in April and luckily before we opened the box to the dome that came with our camper I was looking on here and found out about the dome issues. I went to the dealer and they were able to get FR to send us the new dome for our 179 and took ours back, but I'm sure that's because we never opened the box. We are happy with the fit and love the dome on the 179. We get a lot of compliments and questions on it. Its too bad we can't anchor it because the two campsites we've gone two had gravel and the ground was too hard for the stakes.]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2015 22:43:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=62092#62092 R-dome replacement : We finally got ours replaced as... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=61857#61857 Author: Makelly

We finally got ours replaced as well. Still not the "perfect" fit, but the the bottom skirting has enough material, to be able to anchor it! Had our first weekend out with the pod, including the replaced RDome and it was pretty sweet!]]> Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:32:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=61857#61857 R-dome replacement : I got mine replaced .

I got mine replaced . FR won't do anything to help you out. Offered to sell me one also. So arrogant. I called the general manager of the dealership. I ask him if he would rather have me making positive comments about his dealership on social media, or talking negatively about him. Within two days he said come exchange your Rdome]]> Mon, 15 Jun 2015 12:29:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=61786#61786 R-dome replacement : We bought the RDome as well for... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=61530#61530 Author: Makelly

We bought the RDome as well for our 179. We set it up, under our carport before even taking our new Pod out. We saw that it didn't fit correctly and have insisted that our dealer replace it at no charge. They gave us the run around, but we went face to face with sales and insisted that they replaced it and dropped off the one we purchased. They said they would about a month ago, but so far, no dice. I just called them again, to find out when we can pick up the replacement, and they said they would see if they had them in stock, and would "call us back". We shall see. Does anyone have any suggestions?]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 20:02:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=61530#61530 R-dome replacement : It is NOT that it doesn't... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=59027#59027 Author: kymooses

It is NOT that it doesn't fit.  It fits near the same as the Rdome fits my 181g or the other larger R-Pods.

The new dome will fit BETTER, that's it.  It will likely just be a longer dome so that the edge at the Pod isn't raised off the ground as much.

Seems like there are a lot of us who bought the R Dome thinking it would correctly fit our 179's. Nothing in the Forest River literature or website indicated that the R Dome they were selling for the 179 would not correctly fit the 179. I am very disappointed in Forest River, especially their attitude of "you bought it, now you're stuck with it". ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 19:03:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=59023#59023 R-dome replacement : I have been talking to Forest... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=59021#59021 Author: lillypad

I have been talking to Forest River about this and they said I can order a new released Dome for my 2015 179 for $650 plus shipping. No credit or apology for the one that doesn't fit correctly. 😞]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 17:35:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=59021#59021 R-dome replacement : Interesting, the dome I was sent... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58097#58097 Author: Nomad2010

Interesting, the dome I was sent for the 179 is about a foot longer than the upper channel and it tends to pull out easily.  Especially when it is windy.]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2015 10:02:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58097#58097 R-dome replacement : Google www.pahaquecustom.com and... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58084#58084 Author: chiman

Google www.pahaquecustom.com and then on that website search for awnings for the Rpod.  There are some older ones like the visor, but the one I just got is a new one and sort of looks like the Rdome but much easier to set up and they make them to order and will fit a 179
Cheers

It was posted on the Facebook page yesterday.  The  problem with the 179 is that the channel is too long for a regular dome to fit it properly.  ]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:38:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58078#58078 R-dome replacement : I thought I had read somewhere... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58074#58074 Author: Nomad2010

I thought I had read somewhere on this site about forest river replacing R-domes for the 179 because the channel is too large for the slide on the dome.  Couldn't find it today.  ]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2015 12:37:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5977&PID=58074#58074
