    Howdy Folks... Welp...we got hosed by our first freight experience. Terrapod's very first customer, was delivered a trashed tent. We have ABF Freight to thank for that. So...for now, we have decided to offer "white-glove" delivery to groups of regionally centric customers. Meaning - those...

    tap, tap, tap...is this thing on? :unsure: Our mattresses from Exped are not porous. Therefore...moisture does not get into it or go through it.
