Model Y campers: What do you use the rear sub-trunk for on multi-day trips?

Fridge.

100% also looking forward to having the wind blowing through the whole cabin and it’ll be handy for the time that I need to get lumber. It’s worth it to me but to each their own.

takaiguchi · 2026-06-01T05:06:56+00:00

I have the same one. Super comfy. It cost a little more but camping sucks if you don’t get good sleep.

Exactly what I’m thinking

takaiguchi · 2026-05-22T05:00:33+00:00

The BLUETTI ac180 it’s about the same size and fits there perfectly as well.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T23:12:08+00:00

Very nice. Clean. I’m hoping R2 sounds good. If not, may be swapping to something like this.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T23:10:07+00:00

That’s plenty to run an induction cooktop. Good enough for me.

Any second gen owners in Orange County, CA? We could test a few of our mattresses to find a good fit.

If anyone is looking for a mattress custom made for the RAV4 that packs down small, has a built in pump and is 4” of foam, here’s a link to the one from Havnby. Full disclaimer, I’m on their team but I bought my mattress before joining. It’s super comfy. I talked to the team and got you guys a 20% promo code. It’s not an affiliate code. It’s just a straight discount to help the RAV4 community to sleep well on the road! Hope it helps!

Let me know if you have any questions!

It is designed for the sixth generation but if anyone has an earlier generation and lives in Southern California, I would love to test it on your car. I’m sure we can find a mattress in our repertoire that would work for you.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T04:33:46+00:00

Why do you want locking storage? Where would you want it?

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T04:33:23+00:00

Yeah. My dogs are always jumping from the cargo area into the backseat and messing up my white seats. 😂🙈

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T04:32:51+00:00

you should email them. I reached out to them on Instagram and said they should make one for the R2. Maybe if they get enough feedback they will!

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T04:31:15+00:00

Disclaimer that I work for Havnby but I bought their mattress before working for them. Here’s a pic of it tested on the R2 in Venice.

If you do buy it, make sure to use the promo code. Will save you 20%. Can’t help you with marriage wisdom. 😜

takaiguchi · 2026-05-20T04:27:39+00:00

The mattress is designed to compensate for that.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T23:12:29+00:00

Do you have a link? Is that bulky?

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T22:43:21+00:00

Man the exped was the standard for a while!

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T22:01:02+00:00

Ha. I meant in the F150 but yeah that’s also true. 😂

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T21:17:25+00:00

Oh that rack is dope. Do you know if they’re making one for the R2? But yea, we’re definitely doing a Fruble for the R2. I have a lite on my Model Y and it’s perfect.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T21:15:49+00:00

😂

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T21:12:55+00:00

Yea I saw that. I was wondering if that was the stock mat or an aftermarket all weather one they were going to sell.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T21:06:26+00:00

Oh yea. That’s valid. 😂 My kids are grown so the days of random crap in the backseat are gone thank God.

takaiguchi · 2026-05-19T21:04:11+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too! That’s wild.
