I spent some time at Overland Expo PNW and I surveyed the landscape of Rivian camper options.
The only folks with a camper on a Rivian at the show was Go Fast which it looked great, small foot print. Good build quality. Still claiming to see no issues with D+ so maybe the smaller foot print isn't having the same impact I am seeing, time will tell. I think this is a great option for folks that mostly camp in the summer, weekends things like that. It offers a place to sleep and more secure storage in probably the lightest most compact form factor. I think starting around $10k
The folks at Oru were also there, they continue to get better. Loving the optional Arctic Turn windows. They also have a new XL version that is wider, similar to Tune Outdoors offerings. Sorry didn't take any Oru photos but check out my build thread in the signature for some of mine. I think this is a great option for folks like me that spend weeks at a time in their camper, use it often in winter time and want a good balance between price, quality, interior space and year long capability.
Tenfold (canvas wedge) starting at $6k
Bruin starting at $8.5k
Bruin XL starting at $10.5k
I also looked at what was going on with Hardsider. They have some Rivian's in the queue but none built yet so who knows how their implementation will look. These didn't look as good in person as they do in renders and in photos. The 'hard' sides felt more like canvas that had some hard sections in it. I'd be curious what the experience of it would be like in the wind. The base camper material felt really thin, likely wouldn't hold heat in well for winter trips. I'm not sure who this is for, it's a cool idea. I'd let this one bake a generation or so and see where it goes. $18k starting price though they were offering a show special, think they said $15k.
I talked with the folks at Tune Outdoor. It didn't sound like he was super happy with his existing Rivian implementation, I think wanting a better solution for the gear tunnel buttons etc. I like their build quality and this one probably offers the most interior space (maybe similar to what the Oru Bruin XL will offer). I didn't ask the price but I think it's a bit higher.
Super Pacific confirmed they are moving ahead with a Rivian option. Don't recall the price but I believe it has been advertised. I like their quality here too, this one feels similar to the Go Fast for me for the use case. I like their door open/locking mechanisms the best in theory, no personal experience though.
Lone Peak - Confirmed no current plans. Busy filling existing orders for now.
Hiatus Campers - None built on a Rivian yet, didn't say no. This offers probably the most camper like experience (vs tent) but cost and weight are the penalty.
I feel like 50 other camper companies I didn't even talk to.
I should have taken more photos but as is I got too much sun..
