@jjswan33 I spoke too soon about my better half approving the RTT, she's back on the fence. Reason #37 I DESPISE RV PARKS: we just had a hit run while IN the RTT. Thankfully the bike rack took the damage, but the grander issue is nothing was caught by Gear Guard Gary because we didn't lock the truck.

What do y'all other Rivian RTTers or bedcampers do to lock it if you're up in the tent? We were concerned about setting off the alarm by rolling around in the night, and I'm a light sleeper so I wasn't worried about any theft...Yet here we are.

It's definitely locked now, I'll report if we accidently set off the alarm.

Does no one have any honor or common courtesy anymore?

Society is definitely in a low period right now.

The answer is “yes!” People do have honor and common courtesy. But no one jumps online to write about them. And if they did no one would read it because we prefer to bitch and complain.

Okay, I tried Google, but I've got no idea what "RTT"means in this context, can someone clue me in?

Google says it is either:
  • Real Time Text
  • Rapid Transformational Therapy
  • Round Trip Time
None of these make sense.

Try a little harder, it's there. Add "Rivian" and you'd get answer.

For the better judgment of society "which is getting harder to do these days" maybe they didn't feel it and didn't know they tapped you? if they were in a class A motor home and that light aluminum bike rake in the night?

I try to pick sites that don't have another site that back up to it, and park as deep into the lot as I can justify. I hadn't been locking up my bikes but I probably should be.

I don't have gear guard alarm on, I'm pretty sure it's not necessary to get proximity motion videos.

They definitely knew what they did. We were awake reading before bed. It was a hatchback, crossover, or small SUV. It was hard enough to rock us. We watched them drive off. I really couldn't believe it just happened by the time I got up and jumped out. I tried running in my skivvies after them but they kept going.

@Dark-Fx I mentioned in another thread, I'm only here to be near my in-laws. I had a forested campground with site parking off the loop picked out we were going to stay at, but it was a 25 minute bike ride away. Rather than bike constantly to visit, which would possibly lead to less visiting, we decided to just stay behind them in the same slot.

Never again.

I wonder if the park office has any record of who was in that spot? It’s worth asking since you essentially saw it happen.

Glad your truck wasn't damaged and sorry for the rack.

If this ever happens to me, and GG Gary captures it, I promise to post video to this forum of me running down the road in my skivvies, shaking my fists!

To your original question I have always locked my doors at night while staying in the tent or now inside my camper. Never set off the alarm in my time in fact my trucks alarm has only been set off two times and both times my dog was in the back seat making a fuss.

Sorry to hear about the damage and crappy human that did it.

I don't condone the "run" part of that "hit". But I do kinda understand how the "hit" could have occurred. That bike rack would not be very visible in the dark. It might save you some headache, in the future, if you get some cones with reflective tape that you can put a few feet behind your vehicle.

Never had the alarm go off while in the tent, I wouldn't worry too much about that. I do normally have GG turned off though while camping. I guess if you're in a campground this is q reason to keep it on

OP - Very sorry that happened to you, but glad the damage was relatively minor.

Here in Denver, running from an accident has now become the norm, even when it’s vs a pedestrian or cyclist. Deadly hit and runs have risen nearly 70% in the last 2 years. It’s honestly quite disheartening.

The number of hit-and-runs in Denver grew 21% from 2020 to 2021.

The number of seriously injurious hit-and-runs grew by 24% in 2021 and another 20% in 2022.

Deadly hit-and-runs have increased by 40% more in 2021 than the year before and 29% more in 2022 than in 2021.
