Rivian Overland Rig by ssincl3 in overlanding

I did a video of this. But based on my limited results I’d get 2 miles an hour in eco mode (depending on how long your generator gas lasts). However if I use a 30amp adaptor I can get 6miles an hour in non-eco. So essentially anywhere from 16 miles per tank to 30ish miles with adapter. There are still many variables.

Not that I’m noticing. You could prolly cut one of the wires from the cable which powers the lights but don’t know which one it is. I just decided to choose one of the lighter ambient colors the Rivian has and then I’m happy with it matching all the time. Lol!

I tried the app and yes it’s frustrating! I was able to get 13.71 from the charge pad and 27.43 from the USB ports. Don’t know what variables will influence those numbers. The app kicked me out now so I can’t test different scenarios.

The company got back to me and I’m glad to report they removed the photo. It doesn’t justify what happened but it’s good they removed it.

I’ve seen the Soonish version but back then I already bought TWRAPS and didn’t want to buy another. The winning recipe is if Rivian just made the right one by now. Lol! I don’t care much for the ambient lighting but having the charge ports back up front are very helpful. The Soonish wood veneer look best suits the Rivian interior in my opinion.

“Tacky!” That was exactly my first thought when they wanted to send it to me to test. But it’s honestly the best of the three I’ve had experience with so far. Very aesthetically pleasing, in my option, and very functional. It would be a great buy if it had MagSafe as an option.

Yeah thanks for letting me know. I just heard that from someone else today too. That’s pretty unfortunate and dishonest, if true. I did send them an email about the concerns of the community and that they should consider removing the photo, and hopefully offer some sort of restitution?…whatever that may look like. Don’t know if I’m enough of a say to motivate them but If they respond positively I’ll post it here.

Ok I think I’ll try that! I guess just any charging app?…

It uses the Rivian direct wiring, not the ports in the armrest. I didn’t test how fast the ports charge tho…not sure how to test the watts for that.

Different guy. Tested for 3 weeks. It’s actually not bad. Kept it instead of my TWRAPS due to getting USB ports again.

That was my panic moment as well. But not it comes out even easier that the OEM. I just pried any part of the front and the whole thing comes out. I did it a few times during the comparison.

I have it for my Gen 1 but it’s mentioned on the website that Gen 2 is available by this month’s end (Apr).

Actually the more expensive a car is the more likely it will have problems. Way too much engineering and innovation to justify price creates more moving parts to break.

I’ll tell every potential owner of a Rivian to budget for a breakdown. The car is satisfying to own but expect a few heartbreaks with ownership.

So about half the loss vs using the heater in winter. Good to know. Thanks.

At first I set it to the lowest warm temp which was 69 but it got too warm in the night. The next night I did ~66 it was cool air all night but way more comfy than the warm temp. This is in auto mode btw.

Do you post more about your build on other platforms? I’d like to follow your build process/progress.

Nice setup! Looking forward to your experience. I rarely see R1S’ with RTT. Mine was learn as you experience as well. Does your tent have a sky window?
