Last night I was at an an event about the new Quad R1 at the Rivian Space in San Francisco and was told by some Rivian Engineers (though admittedly not from the charging team) that the NACS Rivians will be able to use *most* of the Tesla network because they will have the hardware for the Tesla...
Hey folks!
Hi folks! Electrify Expo's next stop is the Bay Area. Specifically Alameda Point. Rivian will be there along with a bunch of other EV makers. I heard a rumor that Rivian will have something special -- maybe R2? There will be test drives available for cars, trucks, e-bikes and more...
A bunch of bikes. This pic was taken right after we got the R1T in May of '22 so some of those bikes have left the stable and a few others have been added :)
What a fun adventure! Good to see folks with littles doing big road trips. We did our share when the kids were little and they would have been so much better with the Rivian!
Since you've got a little... I wanted to let you know about a book written by fellow Rivian owner and one of our...
Great list! I would add that at REI as well as some local sporting goods stores offer rental equipment if you want to try it out before making a bunch of purchases.
To the above list I would add bring insect spray (depending on your location this can make a new camper never want to go back...
I humbly recommend the Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Overland Kitchen with Gear Sled for a premium cooking experience. Super quick set up and clean up. In addition, it's much easier to access all of that gear you're planning to put in the bed with our Bed Glider - especially with the Rooftop Tent...
Thanks - we love our Bed Glider! It was born out of the necessity to get things out from under a closed tonneau or the RTT. Started with plywood prototype and evolved into the current product. We also have a spare in our spare compartment but it's pretty roomy so our recovery gear and Morrflate...
This wasn’t a spicy trail. Really just a fire road, so we were not anticipating needing the gear. The bed gliders make sliding the gear out from under the tent easy as well as give is multiple spots to lash down so everything stays where we put it.
At the end of June, we drove from San Francisco to Redmond, OR for the Overland Expo PNW. We decided to find a dispersed campsite in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest on the way north. To get to the spot Matthew had scouted on OnXMaps, we had to move some trees that had fallen across the road...
Thanks for posting! We just rolled into Redmond to attend Overland Expo PNW. I see you’re from Portland. Any chance you’re coming to the show? Hope our paths cross soon!
Looks like a good time was had by all! We've been using HipCamp for a couple of years now - especially for high demand weekends. We've found great campsites and friendly hosts!
