A re-direct page instead of a direct link?

  Rob Wagner: I don`t see any value in doing what you are describing. 
  What I would suggest doing is create a page that is better and more informative that the page on the manufacturing site. If you own the tent set it up and make a video about it. Make some detailed up-close images, detailed instructions, and any other valuable information. Make sure you have a link back to your product page so visitors can buy the tent.  If you don`t own the tent you can still write a killer article about it by creating a mashup of information that you find around the internet and then put your own take on it. Make sure you link to the sources that you use and give them the credit. Don`t just copy or spin the instructions. If you do it right you will rank in the SERP`s and others will link to the page. Great content finds a way. Just my 2 cents.

  W.E Jonk: I don`t see why it would be a "terrible idea" because Google advice`s this with regard to paid links:
  Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file
  
  So sure go ahead and implement an intermediate page, just make sure it is blocked by robots.txt.

  Devin Peterson: Thanks for all the input everyone, I suppose I`ll clarify a bit... The main purpose of this was to not pass pagerank to a site that sort of competes with me. I sell directly to consumers so it`s not an affiliate link or anything like that. I think I`m going to go with Rob`s initial idea and create a new page with my own instructions. It`s kind of tedious to do that so I was hoping to avoid it but I think it`s the best route for me to take in the end.
  Justin, getting additional page views by doing that was not a concern for me at all, it was more about the "link juice" aspect. In fact, I haven`t even thought of that until you pointed it out haha, although I suspect it wouldn`t add any benefits anyway.
  
  Thanks again!
