Seems like 1.2 mi/kwH is a pretty common number regardless of the length of the trailer, which makes sense because the frontal area that the wind sees is pretty much identical no matter the length. Weight doesn't seem to be much of an issue here in most cases, probably more of an issue in the...

Thanks for your input! I'm in New Hampshire and most of my trailer travel so far has been in the Northeast and Midatlantic regions. It hasn't been my experience that all Rivian chargers are trailer friendly, I've been to 4 installations now and 2 have had a trailer pull through site and 2...

Thanks, that's great data and I'm guessing it's pretty close to what I'll see with my 30'. I towed my opus around 3000 miles including a few long trips at an average of 1.22, so if I can duplicate that I'll be very happy. We plan about 350 miles a day give or take, so this means we stop about...

I know there are a lot of owners here who have Airstreams and I'd like to start an Airstream thread here to collect accumulated wisdom about Airstreaming with a Rivian. We're not new to towing a travel trailer with the Rivian, but we just sold our Opus OP-15 yesterday and will be taking...

Thanks, sounds like the topper isn't making a huge difference then, seems like the basecamp is just far more efficient than my Opus, which I would expect given the shape and the parasitic drag of my OP-15

Thanks for the post, I'm seeing about 1.3 avg towing my Opus OP-15, your efficiency is amazing! The Basecamp is probably a little better on aero and weight than the opus, but I wonder if your topper is helping smooth the airflow out a little bit to provide a more smooth transition from the...

I'm watching for the same exact thing. The EA in West Lebanon is a disaster and the RAN there will be a lifesaver if it's open in time.

Ordered a set, just in time for New England Mud Season!

Thanks! We're really excited for it! I'm expecting the efficiency to be a bit worse than what you're seeing but I don't think that's a deal breaker for most of the trips that we plan on doing. A bucket list trip in the future is to pull it out from New England to the national parks out west and...

Thanks for such a nice detailed report! Your post pushed me over the edge and we pulled the trigger on an Opus OP15 last night to pick up on Friday! I’ve been hesitant to get a trailer because of range impact and charging but your post gave me confidence that I can make it work and the...

Nav waypoints and the ability to specify if it’s a drive through/past waypoint or a stop waypoint. Drive through would be used to force routing near a certain point of interest or more frequently to avoid a metro area-like NYC- that the nav wants to route through to avoid the traffic and...

Dude, 100%! I’ve never owned a truck before and after about a year with the R1T I’ve come to two conclusions. 1- I don’t know how I ever lived without a truck and 2- it could stand to be a bit bigger, especially the bed (except when I’m trying to fit into a parking garage in the city) If the...

We have a Condor XL because the kids are too big to fit with us in a smaller tent but not big enough to be out in their own tent. It's not perfect and I'd prefer a more flush fit, but the floor of the tent is rigid enough that it hasn't been a problem to have the crossbars off center.

First truck, first EV, first brand new vehicle. I always wanted a truck and was really past the point of needing one between trips to Home Depot, hauling dirt bikes to trails and going camping or to the mountains but I never liked the lack of weatherproof storage in a pickup not to mention how...

This looks like a really well thought out alternative, projected to ship late summer. https://rivian-aftermarket.proboards.com/thread/22/slide-camp-kitchen-project-info And their gear guard shuttle looks better designed than Rivian’s in house design ever was. Supposed to be ready late May...
