"The patent, filed November 23, details a kit that can include a projector, screen, and at least one speaker. The kit is attached to a shuttle that slides in and out of the gear tunnel for easy storage.

Once extended, the projector can be rotated into position. It will also include a mirror to reflect the projected light onto the screen without harming quality. Meanwhile, the pole to hold the screen will fit into several spots.

The setup enables a mobile entertainment setup in little to no time. Everything can be stored in the gear tunnel while not in use. When ready, it can just slide out and set up.

Rivian is including everything needed for the ultimate movie night on the go. And the best part – everything is powered by the R1T."

This is pretty damn cool. Can’t wait to see what this is like once it’s released…. But can we get our tonneau covers fixed first?

Thinking outside the box

Take THAT camp kitchen orderers!

If I can figure out how to attach a wheel to the underside of the slide out, I can start one of those mobile billboard companies that ensure we can't go anywhere without ads.

Looks fun, but if what you were really waiting for was a camp kitchen, we've got you covered!

Has to be a patent grab....noway they are ever going to build that. Unless a commercial use I can't think of.

Yeah, I need one of those ..

Would be great if Rivian focused on fixing/having a better performing air conditioner versus nice to haves like this. Especially considering any one of us can buy the same capability from Amazon any day (eg I already have a 9 ft outdoor projector system and can throw it in the back easy. Rivian needs to let the aftermarket companies take on solutions like this and work to fix the bugs in the cars.

I already have an outside movie projector setup that isn't needed.

But if one adds a bumper dumper and the camp kitchen and a RTT, and this projector setup, then I'd never go home.

Would be great for my astronomy nights with telescope and camera

Is the example movie on the screen there that scene from Cliffhanger when he accidentally drops the lady?

Could you use the screen as a tonneau cover?

I would very much hate to see this at a nearby camp site, within an earshot. You go out in nature to commune with it. Not taint it with a piece of your urban/suburban noise pollution. Isn't that why we bought an electric adventure vehicle instead of a exhaust spewing ICE?

Don't see how this fits the "adventure" theme which to me means the great outdoors, nature and getting away from it all. What is our obsession with taking a screen everywhere. I agree with other posts that Rivian is better off focusing resources on the things that people are voicing here.

I'd like to think that's why Rivian has patented it. To stop others from making this kind of thing commercially available
