Hey Rivian Owners and Enthusiasts!
We're college students studying Rivian as a business. Your insights as a Rivian owner/enthusiast are important to our research. The best place to get authentic insights from real Rivian owners is right here in this forum. Please take a few minutes to share...
Hello - first post, but longtime reader here. Hoping this might be of use/spark further ideas among other outdoor enthusiasts here.
(Setup preview)
My family does a lot of camping here in Colorado each year, and I’m always thinking about ways to “optimize” our camping setup. We still tent...
Got our 1972 Kit Companion Ready just in time for some beautiful fall camping!
Making the trip from Fort Collins to Salida, CO next weekend. I’ll update with efficiencies and the trip experience when we get back!

UPDATED: Tent was sold to me as "Tepui Kukenam 3 Ruggedized". However, after further research the tent is actually a "Tepui Kukenam XL Ruggedized SKY 4" (4-person tent). As a result, I have updated the packing weight below to 225lbs.

I was taking the kids over to Kalaloch, WA for a 4...
Fruble camp kitchen for R1S
+ mid section supports (uses trunk floor panel to create one flat floor)
Like new, used once
Local pickup in Orange County (Costa Mesa)
500$
Initial thoughts, YMMV
Heat pump seems extremely efficient. Only seeing 12 miles total lost between 11pm to 7am, HVAC at 72.
Campsite 50amp 240v did well, but I had no reason to think otherwise. Did not try TT-30 Tesla mobile charger, but was prepared with converter and 14-30 adapter.

Like new Thule Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3 Rooftop Tent. Includes Annex!
The ruggedized version is extra heavy duty canvas. Used only a handful of times. Like NEW condition. No leaks, water damage or funny smells. Fits perfectly above the bed of R1T. Can be...
Hi all,
It's been a little over 2 months since we picked up the R1S in Sacramento, CA. Our biggest reasons for buying the R1S was to bring it camping and sleeping inside the cabin. We've been on 5 camping trips so far and I have to say we've accomplished just that!
Here are some features in...
Hi all,
The trip was 40 minutes of freeway driving with 15 minutes of paved mountain roads and 15 minutes of some very "lite" off-roading. I can't in good conscience say I experienced any "real" off-roading during my last trip, but I did turn on the off-roading mode, so it counts in my mind...
Hey Rivian adventurers!
I wanted to share with y'all a recent trip we took with a group of 8 friends up here in Chilliwack, British Columbia. We had a total of 3 cars for the trip: 2 Teslas and 1 Rivian. It was a short weekend getaway, and we wanted to go somewhere a little remote. Luckily, we...
Hey Rivian adventurers!
It's Jimmy from Fruble. I'm so excited to share with you the new camping system we're introducing today for the Rivian R1S!
One year ago, we launched the complete Tesla Camper Kit for the Model Y because we couldn't find any traditional camp kitchens on the market that...
Hi folks! Not sure if Carl and Monika are on this platform, but I wanted to make sure you all had a chance to see their thoughtful and thorough review of the Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Camp Kitchen for the R1T. And since I know someone will ask, we are still working on the R1S Camp Kitchen...
Hi all,
Thought I'd share our recent trip to test out:
Charging with a TT-30 / 14-50 adapter
Using power from the R1S for cooking
Taking our cat on a short trip
Happy to say that all went very well!
Some details first:
2024 R1S Dual Motor Large Pack 21"
Start range/%: 75%
End rage/%: Forgot...
It’s the first month driving my R1s, just found the camping model auto leveling feature is super useful in the steep parking lot for kids to enjoy snack time. No more worrying about putting drinks on uneven surfaces.
Kids think the car has magic, have fun time eating snacks in the trunk and...
Hey Enthusiasts,
My wife has agreed to go "camping" in the R1S, so I want to make sure I'm prepared to spend 4-5 days in nature (glamping). For perspective, we have no problem watching our favorite show, under the stars in our tent drinking a glass of wine after grilling steaks, salmon or brats...
Hi all,
Picked up my R1S in early March and took it up the Sierra for a ski trip at my local resort. This time around I decided to test out sleeping in the cold and snow.
Some details first:
* 2024 R1S Dual Motor Large Pack 21"
* Start range/%: 340 miles/95%
* End range back at home: ~30 miles...
The broken Cybertruck is not the only or even the best thing that happened when a bunch of electric vehicles went to King of the Hammers. The Optima Unplugged event was dominated by Rivians, but there were a couple Kias, Lightenings, and plug-in-hybrid Jeeps too!
What really stood out is how...
Just got my air cruiser today! It works and looks great, super excited for what this is going to usher in for my wife and I in 2024! The mattress is really nice and it was really easy to install overall! Thank you Jake and team from Air Cruiser/Cinch/Wild Lands for all of your guys hard work...
Had a very successful car camping experience over the weekend in my R1S. Using the AC on full power all night + powering my refrigerator and tailgate light ended up costing just over 60 miles in range for 30 hours of camping with one overnight ( with AC on in south Florida ). Very happy with the...
