Thanks so much for replying.

Noticed you are a Harley couple.

I have a Goldwing trike. My wife has a Harley super low ride.

Was thinking about getting the bike rake but have to store the tire in the Rpod or in the truck. Hoped to find a bike rake that would go on the receiver but they don't make them any more. Probably affects the hitch weight too much. Bummer.

The tongue is too low to mount the tire under the tongue of the trailer. Bummer again.

Anyone have a brilliant idea?

Welcome to the group! We really enjoy our r-dome and use it quite often. My wife and I can put it up in roughly 10 minutes. I could probably set it up alone ( but would probably break something). We spray a little silicone in the track and it slides in fine.

Looking at purchasing a R180 with the R Dome Awning and Screen Room. Curious as to people's experience with putting it up and taking it down. Probably won't use the screen room too much but would like the canopy up.

How long does it take to put up the canopy? Any difficulty getting the canvas to slide through the bracket? Can one person put it up with a short step stool?

Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.

William
