RTT carnage

[ColoDisco]

Went through Beef Basin in Utah last Thursday, going through a sandy wash and popping out I caught a very old stubborn tree. The end result:

Lesson learned. I am in contact with CVT about fixing it.

OUCH!!! That stinks!


Also reminds me, now that my trips are done for the year, I need to call back CVT myself. Somewhere along the shipping line, a fork truck ran through my RTT.

They have been great. Bobby said I was lucky it was not way worse. The tent itself is completely unharmed. Here is what I need to fix it.

Awesome, I was wondering how hard parts would be to get from them.

It just goes to show you how great this community is as a whole. From the vendors on down to Forum Members. Everyone takes care of each other. Glad you got it fixed.

Not fixed yet! Waiting for Ian and Bobby to amass the parts. I am also looking at armor options and at adding a parking sensor system as a warning before I strike it again. Lets face it, 8'9" is really tall when 4 wheeling in backwoods.

Just a update, they are getting parts together, looks like it is going to cost me a couple hundred bucks to fix it, not bad considering.

Ouch!

Reminds me of our Utah 4 to 3 Corners trip, DMC's RTT was straight up removed from his rack after a major tree strike at a really fast speed. A few hinges and some minor cover repair and it was good to go

Glad to see they had the parts you needed.

Only think that hurts is I have only spent 1 night in it.

On the plus side, you now know that this is one tough tent, and a repairable one at that.

Good to hear that CVT hooked you up. I hear nothing but good from people about them. Chatted a bit with Bobby online, nice guy and pretty stoked on his products. I have the Mt Hood...it is WIDE... may need these services one day too! lol

 

[ColoDisco]

Total cost for the parts with shipping, $105.00.

CVT are the best, I know all these types of tents are Chinese, but the service from Ian and Bobby is bar none the best!!

They also have the walls with floor added on for the 79" Awning available, I put some money down on one to go with my awning I highly recommend if you want a easy addon tent you pick one up!!

Quality products are manufactured in countries all over the world, including China.
