A weekend camping trip to southern Utah turned into an hours-long ordeal when a family's GMC overheated repeatedly while towing a rented camper through 98-degree desert heat. What was supposed to be a three-hour drive stretched past five, with the engine running so hot that the only way to keep moving was to blast the cabin heater and pull over at every pass to let it cool.
Kortney Poulson (@kortneypoulson) posted the two-minute, 16-second TikTok on June 6, and it has since drawn more than 3,600 views. The video strings together moments from the road trip before Poulson speaks to the camera. "We are heading on a camping trip. We are going to Bryce Canyon for the weekend," she says. "Rented a camper because I'm not about to sleep in a tent with two toddlers."
