Sorry, I forgot to add:
The included metal brackets are a teeny bit too short between the holes to completely span the rails, but I've seen others on this forum use them. The bolts just go in at a bit of an angle, which to my mind would mean that they would mark up the rack rails.
I went and...
Well, I've not been rained on yet with the Kukenam, so I can't say definitively. I would say that the rainfly is one of the only things about the tent that I find less than ideal as if it's windy, it tends to flap around a bit in strong winds. I've typically left it off. That being said, the...
With regard to the brake light issue, I used this:
https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Covers/Pilot-Automotive/CR-007.html
which admittedly isn't up high as the rear window brake light, but did add an extra brake light to the rear of the truck. I would think with an extended plug, one could mount...
Here are the only photos I have currently, for some reason I haven't taken many pics of the truck/tent combo. I will say that the tent fits the bed very well. It's also easy to setup at camp and easy to "tear down" when you're ready to hit the road. It takes no more than 5 - 10 minutes either...
Not that I'm looking for any attention on the post I made in the "Trip Reports / Journals / Logs", but I posted my experiences with a Thule RTT mounted on the bed of my R1T. It might have some useful info per this discussion.
FWIW. -...
This is a long post, and I don't post very much, so forgive me if I violated any posting protocols.
We took a 3,500 mile round trip in our R1T (with a Tepui Kukenam tent) from Indiana to Palo Duro Canyon in TX, then to Oliver Lee State Park in NM, then down to Guadalupe Mountains NP in TX, then...
Maybe setting brake regen from "heavy" to "standard" might reduce the braking impact of suddenly dropping out of Driver+ or adaptive cruise control. That being said, the manual is pretty clear about Driver+, etc.:
I like adaptive cruise control a lot more than I thought I would and like...
I'm not qualified to speak on the questions raised in this thread, but a few month ago I came across this:
Engineering Explained on YouTube does a great job in breaking down (in simple terms to morons like me) the engineering and science related to a whole bunch of automotive technology...
My electricity costs have gone up, but a lot less than what it would have cost me in gas for my previous vehicle.
My public utility provides an "off-peak" rate, so I get electricity between 8:00 PM - 2:00 PM for .08/kWh. I have a higher "on-peak" rate than I did before, but in comparing the...
The R1T is my first EV as well. For what it's worth I use Plugshare for locating chargers. I like it because you can filter results on a map that shows chargers that are compatible with your vehicle, charging speeds, provider, etc. It also has a trip planner that allows you to plan a route with...
For a less expensive alternative, the Heatshield sunshields work very well. I have the windshield and the "top window" shield. I leave the top in all of the time. Very occasionally I'll have to press on the suction cups, but generally the shield stays in place quite well. The nice thing is that...
Thanks for this! Same deal here, red light of death, no bluetooth, etc. Removed the face plate, found the braided cable wasn't plugged in, problem solved. Thanks again for posting, you saved me a lot of trouble. Charger works great!
