I bought a R-Dome for my new 178. My unit had risers added on it from the factory to keep it from dragging. Will the r-dome fit properly with it being higher off the ground.

We have risers on our 177. The bottom of the dome does not go down far enough to touch the ground close to the trailer but it doesn't present a problem. It comes very close to touching.

With risers our dome barely touches the ground, it's the small tarp rainflap pieces that are just barely touching in the back.   Towards the front it touches fine and can be staked down but at the back we can never get ours tied off or stacked very easily.

A minor inconvenience.

This is what the bottom of our R-dome looked like with the risers.
 
 
After fighting with my dealer for over a year they agreed that they had sold us the R-dome for a 151.
This is what the new R-dome lookes like. (model# 747BLU 13102)
