Where are you in CA?

The Ventura CA sore isn’t listed as “Trailer Friendly” but is in a mall parking lot. Has anyone here used this new RAN and perhaps comment on if there are enough creative options to charge with a trailer?

Seeing a photo like this makes me believe there has to also be a sasquatch in the pic. I’m guessing he’s trapped in the rear cargo area. Good job!

Similar ideas were being kicked around low levels at Amazon in 2022ish and I’d love for this type of model to get started there too. Maybe an executive will eventually get behind the idea. They don’t have as many locations or overall reach, but they do have some other advantages from their...

And what’s the easy way to check dual battery vs battery + capacitor? I only remember my x23xxx VIN was around the transition timeframe.

It’s this one that essentially serves as a splitter, so yeah now I’m worried this solar setup may not provide the intended Rivian 12v benefit. https://a.co/d/h6eVMdA

Thanks for showing iterative progress on this solution that now may include a good permanent mounting option. Question: I currently use an ODB-II to usb adapter to power my left-side phone mount. This adapter “repeats” the ODB-II port, which is where I’d plug this battery tender into. Is there...

Awesome info and details, thanks. I also imagine if I want to prioritize charging my truck at the RV site, I could plug the truck into the pedestal and then plug the camper into the truck bed with both running simultaneously, right?

Sorry for your loss and thanks for your post. This is my dream setup so I appreciate the info and great pics! I’m renting a non-Airstream to take my kids on a “camper trailer trial” road trip from Orange County up around 2-3 points at or around Morro Bay, CA. It’s a ~22’ Geo Pro 19fbs, so I...

I live in Huntington Beach and feel like you just described my EA experience here when my truck’s L2 charger broke.

https://www.overlandexpo.com/socal/buy-tickets-socal/ Is anyone else going today? Or tomorrow? I like to go look at all the nice toys. I think GFC will have their Rivian build there. EDIT: GFC is here but no sign of their Rivian.

I like Costco but their technology is so unbelievably bad it is zero surprise that their site may have mistakenly leaked this with wrong info/functonality.

If we don’t carry basic social norms to our increasing AI interactions we run the risk of a future state where AI-natives and others forget to transfer their AI norms to human interactions. Be polite to your AIs and teach your children to do the same. ;) Also, excellent work, OP! ??

Yes as part of their CA wildfire assistance.

How’d it go once in Death Valley? Seems like some L2 top-up in the park might still be needed to spend a couple days traveling around.

Wasn’t Rivian’s claim something vague like “around 3 seconds” to begin with?

Since the last Nov update my HVAC seems to turn the vents off whenever the vehicle sleeps or sits for an extended period of time. In the beginning, it seemed like HVAC wasn’t working, but now I’m kind of used to having to turn my vents back on at the beginning of most drives. My vents used to...

This would be my main use case too, unless something permanent and without requiring plugging in is figured out. I Imagine both cases would involve the battery tender, a power station battery, and a solar panel. Could a standard 100w panel and fairly small power station keep the 12v topped up?

In CA I know of Olancha NOT listed as “Trailer Friendly” but being behind a gas station that seems to have plenty of space for a truck and trailer to charge. Then there’s Bishop which IS listed as Trailer Friendly despite being in a tighter shopping center. This stall is located away from the...

It looks like between Shoshone and Olancha should be very doable to make a nice loop.
