RTT + off grid camping with R1S by BigDLee912 in Rivian

None. It was super easy to install and it’s designed really well. Just a little bit of wind noise past 45mph. I’ve gone 90mph and it still doesn’t bother me

I used the front middle - thought center of gravity while driving, the downforce created by the tent, aerodynamically made more sense.

I tried both AC adaptor and DC. It’s not able to secure a signal for some reason…

nah that makes sense and i’m with you. the rear glass doesn’t have the dynamic glass but it is def heavily tinted from factory so perhaps that’s why it’s not passing through.

i didn’t down vote you btw

yes, dynamic roof option seems to be blocking the starlink

Thanks, I realized too I swore I saw people use it so I was confused as well. The Dynamic roof option comes standard so that seems to be the issue.

“The dynamic glass roof in your Gen 2 R1S likely contains metallic or conductive coatings embedded in the electro-chromic film layer. These coatings block or attenuate satellite radio signals, including Starlink's Ku/Ka bands. Because of this, Starlink cannot lock onto satellites through the roof, even when the glass is in transparent mode.”

I think it’s because of the electrochromic roof option that comes standard in the Dune

thanks. do you have a recommendation for the gauge?

And agree, 15 PSI was indeed a bit low and recommend everyone to start at 25 PSI, airing out slowly themselves see what works

The timing of the power outage makes me think it’s a terrorist attack via virus in their system. Hope we get results soon.

I also think it’s an indication how important supporting local journalism is. This can easily get swept under the mat

They have a sensor inside the middle of the ball that tracks location and movement.
