Our First RAN, San Antonio TX (not trailer friendly, but we arrived early)

State Park, Carlsbad NM

Durango CO to Ocean Springs, MS and now returning west to Big Bend NP. We’re 1800 miles into this planned 5000 mile winter trip, towing our 28’ Airstream (7500 lbs) and the experience has been great. Our dual motor performance max pack R1T has performed flawlessly. It is a smoother, more...

The three 1/2” panels from BoatOutfitters.com came to $215, (but I also paid expedited shipping of $135 due to my urgency) the 1/2” aluminum C channel from Home Depot about $50 (a good bit left over), and a pack of screws maybe $5. 1800 mi into this trip, and still very satisfied!

I passed through on Christmas Eve. Fine installation, but not very trailer friendly. Glad that we were there before the shops opened!

I grew impatient with delays on my manual tonneau. With a long trip approaching, I took matters in hand, built my own and requested a refund on my order. The project was very easy. I ordered three panels of 1/2“ STARLITE (HDPE BOARD) from BoatOutfitters.com precisely pre-cut to fit the...

The tunnel doors would only be open during attended use. I don’t have a tonneau, as Rivian has suspended shipments of the manual tonneau which I had ordered.

I carry an Ecoflow Delta Max power station with two companion smart batteries as auxiliary power for our Airstream travel trailer. (This setup could also serve tent campers). These three units were previously housed under our RAM 2500 truck cap. They now fit perfectly in the gear tunnel of our...

Thanks, all. I used a 120v to 12v adapter that I happend to have on hand. Plugged into the 120v outlet beneath the rear seat control screen. This works, although I'm not keen on the lead dangling down my dash. Have to work on that.

I’m seeking a solution for 12v power on the dash of my new R1T. This is to power a Furrion Vision S monitor for the rear camera on my travel trailer. I find no 12v outlets, only USB C sockets on the front seatbacks. Perhaps someone has found a solution for this?

I have been trying ABRP to plan a long upcoming trip, and I can’t find any reason to continue to bother with it. Compared to inRoute, a very capable routing app which I’ve used for many years, ABRP is incredibly limited, inaccurate and unreliable. With inRoute I can easily select my waypoints...

Aye, we are still Streaming! We traded the FC23FB for a FC28RBQ a few years ago. Toured BC, Yukon, and Alaska with it this summer.

Well, the young lady, didn’t really cover the driving modes. My truck had not been updated to the latest software, which presents the drive modes much better. I simply had it in Normal, and it performed better than any truck I’ve ever driven. I do have a lot of experience driving in snow and...

No a SeaGeo, I didn’t capture much data, driving a new vehicle solo, but it appears that I averaged 2 mi/kWh. This at ambient temps in the mid teens through a good bit of snow and slush and mountain passes. My truck didn’t have the latest software, and I just left it in ‘Normal’ drive mode...

Bingo! Thanks, Moose. I remember you from Airstream Forums?

My R1T had not received the software update when I took delivery on 12/1 . Now I’ve updated, and the LIGHTNING BOLT which brought up the ENERGY screen has disappeared. Can someone please enlighten me as to how to access charging controls?

No argument, I’ll buy Michelin Defenders when they cme a I do prefer winter tires for our area of CO. Our Polestar 2 wears Michelin Ice X during winter, which are superb. I run Michelin Defender M&S on my RAM 2500 Cummins, which do quite well in winter and stay on year round. I look forward...

I did not use chains, and did not pay much attention to consumption data on this trip. Honestly, after a barely 30 min. orientation (I suspect the young lady was cold, standing outside in the wind. Surely Rivian should do this orientation in an enclosed space during winter in Denver!), I was...

I picked up my new Dual Motor Max Pack Performance R1T with 21” road wheels at the Denver Service Center yesterday. I also picked up a barely used 21” spare from an owner near Denver. I had worried a bit about the Scorpion tires in ice and snow, and am happy to say that the truck and tires...

There is potential for very limited vehicle solar charging in the right solar situation. As an example, I carry an Ecoflow Delta Max with two smart batteries (6 kWh total storage) in my ICE truck (RAM 2500). 320 W of solar on the truck cap (two thin film panels, no wind resistance) charge the...
