Yeah, Tesla supercharger access is supposed to be available next Spring after Rivian provides an adapter. But the level 2 Tesla destination chargers currently work fine with the j1772 - Tesla adapter.
The Rivian portable charger will plug directly into a campground 50A NEMA 14-50 plug and get...
We used this one and it worked with no issues !

I've seen it posted (from Rivian) that the max tongue weight for the R1T is 1155 lbs. Our Basecamp is listed about 525 lbs. We initially had an Equalizer WD hitch on our previous 23ft Airstream, but the dealer told us Airstream didn't recommend it for the Basecamp. We tried towing both with...
We have friends that tow a 22' Caravel with their R1T and they see similar efficiency, and if driving 55 I' sure you will see really good #'s!
We were lucky to have all 50A campground hookups, but do have an (EV specific) 30A adapter to use at campgrounds and have used it successfully on other...
3500 dry / 4300 GVWR. It's really a lot more about aerodynamics than weight is what I've seen and learned from what others have experienced. We have friends who tow a 30 ft Airstream that weighs about twice what our Basecamp does, and they see only slightly worse towing efficiently, and think...
We tow just with ball / hitch ( no weight distribution / sway bars) so dropping and re-hitching is super quick. If you've ever seen the movie "Christmas Story" - imagine my wife timing me like when the Dad does changing his car tire. :) . Our previous tow vehicle was a 2021 Toyota Tundra. We...
We just returned home from our longest trip (1900+ miles) towing our 20’ Airstream Basecamp with our R1T. Here is a quick write up on our experience for anyone interested.
On our first day we drove from Omaha, NE to Laramie, WY and stayed in a campground overnight to charge (50A) Charging...
Just returned home from our first longer trip - 1300 mile round trip from Omaha, NE to Grand Haven, MI towing our Airstream Basecamp 20x. Set cruise at 62 mph on the way out and ended with 1.21 mi/kWh (we had some pretty constant headwind / crosswind most of the trip). Return trip upped cruise...
LOL, that was a fun video with AllElectricFamily! We 'downsized' from a 23' Flying Cloud to the Basecamp 20x to get the best aerodynamics, and for our family of 3 we are happy with it. Plenty of space and it does tow really well with the R1T. We're using an Anderson Rapid Hitch with the...
We've had our R1T just over a month and took first trip towing our Airstream Basecamp 20X recently. Setting cruise at 63mph, temps in the upper 40's, with a 10-15mph crosswind we were able to achieve 1.31 m/kWh towing in flat Nebraska. We were pretty happy with those results, and in warmer...
We just took delivery of our R1T last week. I asked our delivery person about purchasing a spare tire from the service center, and she indicated that spares would be showing up s00n in the gear shop, and that they were not available to purchase through the service center.
Nope, and also missing is the 12V plug under the dash so I have no where to plug in my rear view trailer camera, trailer TPMS display, or dash phone mount. Guess I'll be disassembling lower dash panels and looking for a 12V source to install my own outlet. Hoping the connector from the <now...
Sorry, I know that stinks and I still have no idea the timing of how or why some deliveries are much quicker for some than others. We are very fortunate to have gotten ours when we did and didn't expect to get until much later!
This is a solution we've considered as the location of our breaker box and a finished basement will require either cutting the ceiling and having work done to repair, or running conduit outside and around the house into the garage. For the 30A dryer circuit, are you setting the Rivian charge...
