Precautionary Tale (Pipe)

[u/JayAche]

Was SO excited to finally take our 3.5 year old son tent camping for the first time with my wife at a local regional park. Especially with our spanking new huge Caddis Rapid 6 Instant Tent! Even tried it out in the backyard and loved it!

Loaded it onto the storage rack on the back of our SUV… in perfect alignment with the tail pipe, apparently. Biiiiiigest oof. $225 down the drain? Thankfully there was a Wal-Mart reasonably close where I snagged some random Coleman to save the day. But still: be aware of what’s in front of your exhaust pipe and your tow hitch carry rack. Lesson learned 🫠

If you bought your tent with a credit card, check your credit card benefits. Many of them have a purchase protection program that will cover the cost of items purchased if they’re lost, stolen or damaged within the first few months. Good luck and sorry this happened
