Yeah, I use the rennstand jack stands with a bottlejack for my rotations. You need to put something under it in the rear to get a few more inches (like a piece of wood.)

For 2, sometimes these kinds of things can be addressed via habits. Like plugging in the jump pack to the outlet in the truck as part of your routine for long drives / trips. As long as you do this every few months you are probably okay. This works for me for both my old jump pack and also I...

I store them in the area where the jump wires are. Next too but not in the hitch- which I use. In my latest version I have them in a little bag with a drawstring and the drawstring wrapped around the circular access panel's connector.

I've thought about getting a generator tray for my airstream since I seem to only get into these sketchy situations when towing my airstream. Something like below. I could then use it with my old dual fuel 3.4kW generator that has a tt-30. Also, I could then keep just using it with propane...

FWIW, I think this one JNC660 (which I have) is basically the same as the JNCAIR except without the air compressor so smaller lighter and cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/Clore-Automotive-Jump-N-Carry-JNC660-Starter/dp/B000JFJLP6/

They suggest every 3 months. Seems a little aggressive. Also, says it can be left on the charger indefinitely. I suppose you can work something out so it is topped off periodically when the truck runs but I wasn't planning on it. Maybe if my truck had a 12V outlet in the frunk :( or I install...

I'm also curious about the little lithium battery in this tool kit: https://rivianservicetools.com/Catalog/Product/TSN00547-300-C?groupId=190 Although I'd still wonder how long it could keep the truck alive. I don't think the last time I visited that they had the "Passenger Certified"...

Apparently list both (JNC below): https://rivianservicetools.com/Catalog/Product/TSN00370-100-A?groupId=198 (Edit: I guess they are both pretty close in design. Both lead acid and can be used as a 12v power supply at high amperage (presumably.) About the same size I believe.)

Yeah, I dunno. I think @VSG's description early in the thread is good in that unlike a normal jump charger that needs to only provide enough to turn over the motor in a short pulse our jump starter has to power the truck for a while. The clore, for example, says "12v jump starter and power...

I like that it is light and fits perfectly in the gear tunnel. I'm hoping it will make it so I can run some of the stuff I can't normally run in the airstream off its limited solar and lithium batteries. Namely A/C during the summer and the microwave/convection oven. Also just extend the time I...

Yeah, so I can buffer my iceco fridge in the gear tunnel and my airstream too. (Will test the latter in a few weeks. Wasn't able to last trip.)

FWIW, I think you might be thinking of the extra complexity with TT30 adapters to work with your mobile adapter. For charging your ecoflow it should be fine the 110V inverter output as long as the amperage pull isn't too high. Even there your ecoflow app probably let's you turn it down to avoid...

Or maybe a good enough 12V source to the battery for long enough instead of an L2? I dunno. As you said who knows.

I was just trying to get into my truck and maybe in the future be able to put it into tow mode. I don't know the answer to your question to @VSG but I was told it takes about 15 minutes to boot up from dead enough to engage the HV (which if undamaged would provide 12V too.)

I ended just going with a full jumper in my new truck that is essentially a battery after some testing. See here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/some-details-about-12v-jumping-and-jump-boxes-after-an-accident.33854/ In theory, I could add a quick connect or one of their obd-ii...

Someone pointed out to me that the SC have these clore JNC660s. Still a lead acid battery and bigger than lithiums but it is a little smaller than the Vector I mentioned above. It fits under the lower cover in the gen1s. https://cloreautomotive.com/product/jnc660/ It also seems to start at 16V...

Hopefully. I did see that later. It has worked flawlessly for me though. Data point of one though.

Looks cool but wouldn't work for me only because we often tow. The space I was talking about, fwiw, is to the right in your photos behind that circular plastic cap.

Nice photo. The little wires with the red tape are I think the jump wires. They sit in a little area behind a circular plastic cap. There is some space in there for small tools.

FWIW, there is also some space near the rear jump wires too. Pull off the cap and you'll see what I mean. If you just want to put in some small torx tools. I did some testing with jump packs and created a thread yesterday. Maybe you can add what jump box worked for you last time...
