Rdome Brain Storming

On my last camping trip, which was the first time I put up my r-dome, I left my campsite with the r-dome up unattended. Some campgrounds are more secure then others and generally I find that RV’ers look out for each other. I feel confident that other RV’ers in the park would have intervened if someone was attempting to steal anything from my campsite and I would do the same for them. This is the advantage of introducing yourself to others who are camping around you. I used to camp in a popup tent trailer, which had no security whatsoever, and I had my laptop, TV, etc. inside when I was away from the campground. Tent trailers are easy to break into and I camped in one for more than 5-years; and then again it may be that I was just lucky.

That said I have thought about permanently attaching my r-dome to the pod simply so I don’t have to keep putting it on the track and taking it off. On my previous pop-up tent trailer I permanently attached my awning to the trailer; it did not come that way but like the r-pod you had to put it up and down thru a track. So I put it on the track and permanently attached it; rolling it up when it was not in use.

My initial perspective on modifying the dome is to put screws along the dome into the pod where it connects with the track and then roll it up in the bag which it came in and somehow secure it to the top of the pod; maybe secure it to the bathroom vent opening or someplace else. This is what I did to my popup awning and that awning was much heavier than the r-dome. There were no problems when towing the trailer with the awning rolled up and secured; like I said I did it for more than 5-years. If I do this mod to my pod I’ll post some pictures to let others see what I did.
