Definitely agree. I have been plotting out what a trip from Seattle to Glacier NP would look like (with my RV in tow), and central WA was looking a bit rough. A trailer friendly charger in that location would make a huge difference.

Pismo Beach confirmed, I just charged there a few days ago. Two long trailer pull-in spaces (they aren't pull through but there's more than enough room to maneuver). Strangely it still doesn't show up in the Rivian nav. I had to double check the forum to find the address. It's in the same...

They did, actually! Very recently, they announced a kind-of-electrified refresh: the Basecamp 20xe. https://www.airstream.com/travel-trailers/basecamp-xe/floorplans/20xe/ It has a large battery (10 kWh), more solar, inverter, induction burner, and the appliances can run in electric mode, with...

From my limited experience, I would say Airstream is a bit ahead of inTech on quality, but the two of them are way way ahead of almost everyone else (except maybe the other fiberglass brands like Casita, Escape, etc), so the difference between an Airstream and an inTech seems relatively small...

I'm pulling an Airstream Basecamp 20X. I tried out a Sol Horizon too, but ultimately decided I liked the Basecamp better, mostly for the larger sleeping area (the shape is a bit odd but the total area is very close to a king bed). At 55mph I see 1.5 or even 1.6 mi/kWh, at 65 it drops to 1.3...

I expect so. I've done that at a DC fast charger but I haven't tried it at a campground or other level 2 charger. Theoretically it should work the same way.

TL;DR: If you don't need the air conditioner, everything else works fine. If you do, some trailer modifications are needed. I have basically the same setup: R1T gen 1 quad on 21s with a Basecamp 20X. I have used the Rivian for shore power with a 30amp to 15 amp adapter and it works fine. It...

Actually I just started getting a similar error a few days ago. In my case I got it on startup in my driveway, and it put up a warning that the rear cross-traffic warning is disabled. Then when I was on the highway later I got a similar error saying adaptive cruise control wouldn't work. The...

He's got some videos like that for sure, but a lot of the runtime on this one is the CTO from Pebble (Stefan Solyom) describing the technical details (as much as he can reveal) of the Pebble Flow itself. Stefan starts talking at 6:24.

Yes, definitely do this. I did the same thing when I was shopping for a camper and it was really helpful. I had some ideas on paper about which ones were better or worse, but taking one out for a night or a weekend made a big difference. I had a bad experience in my first pick (Sol Horizon) and...

There's a RAN under construction now in Gardiner MT (north entrance to Yellowstone NP): https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/ran-rivian-charging-stations-locations-map-via-google-maps.1721/page-135#post-649370

Does the San Bernardino charger have a pull-through stall for trailers? [edit: From earlier pictures on plugshare it looks like there might be one?]

I live in the San Jose area, and there is definitely already enough DCFC capacity here, at least for now. (I wouldn't mind more trailer friendly / pull-through capacity, but RAN isn't guaranteed to have that). Rivian has limited resources for expanding RAN, so just in my opinion, I'd rather see...

This. Towing brings in its own set of complications, and adds more charging stops, but at least I never have to find a bathroom when I'm charging.

I also just got the confirmation email. R1T VIN 08xxx, delivery September 2022
