Sorry guys! I had written a lengthy post originally, after having just opened the box of my replacement warranty tent only to find a damaged used tent in its place....I decided to delete that post as it wouldn’t have been very helpful in the grand scheme of things. Apparently, the tent that was...

Update coming soon.....pissed! Gotta cool off a bit before I make my post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually think JB has a lot more going for it than just customer service. I’ve owned one other RTT and researched this purchase thoroughly. I really like the design of the tent. Every tent manufacturer will have batches that slip through that are flawed. It’s inevitable in the manufacturing...

I agree. I’ve done some fiberglass work on sailboats and airplanes and you definitely need ratios and climate under control. I’ve got the tent cleaned up and ready to be returned so I took a pic of the cracks and as you can see the “impact zone” that some helpful posters pointed out ended up...

Yeah, perhaps...JB appears to have changed distributors here in the US and Adventure Ready (not Adventure Outfitters ) is probably just trying to figure everything out. The guys there at Adventure Ready have been pretty helpful so far. We’ll see.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I finally had the warranty tent shipped to me. Unfortunately, the shipping company used a forklift to move the tent (even though it had “do not forklift” written all over the box). The forklift had punctured the fiberglass on the bottom of the tent so I did not accept it. Not very lucky...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I agree with the above post...this is not a reason to scratch JB off your list. I love this tent and I've heard from many that their tent is holding up great. Since this tent arrived with small cracks in the gelcoat already, it appears that I just got unlucky...

Thanks for your reply Wallygator. I'm not trying to be a smart ******....my original post was wanting feedback from owners of the tent to see if they had experienced similar cracking. The other guy implied that I had hit something which caused it.....which obviously if I had done something like...

Nope, just dirt. It hasn’t been hit by anything....but thanks for playing... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello all, I just noticed some cracks on my new James Baroud Evasion and was wondering if anybody else has experienced the same thing. I’ve had it for about a month now and it has had light use so far (4 nights in it) so I’m surprised it is cracking like it is. It appears to be in the gel coat...
