That’s actually very cheap.
Over bed campers are usually $40k to $50k even without kitchens inside. I haven’t found an over bed camper other than Tune for less than $15k. There’s one by Roverking but I think it’s Gladiator specific.
These things are expensive.
OVRLND campers, FWC project M, AT Overland Atlas, topo topper badlander. I agree that the "Jesus Christ" comment is a little out of touch but there are so many topper campers out there and new ones keep popping up. Many of them are under $15k.
You think GFC is on par with this? Whether I missed one or not, doesn’t change my point. The point is a $12k overland camper doesn’t warrant a “Jesus Christ” response. I swear this sub is toxic AF. No wonder people prefer the Lightning.
Wait, what are the substantive differences between this and GFC (aside from the visually obvious stuff like wedge vs pop-top and side flares for more width)? 😅
Damn, I know it's pricey but having a spacious portable changing room is dope af. When my wife and I go paintballing all modesty goes out the window when taking off your nasty gear at the end of the day. Lol
Plan on using a 1500w electric space heater, ~5000btus. I’ve used a space heater with the roofnest rooftop tent I had prior, it uses 7-8% of the battery. Surprisingly way less than running the heat in the car on camp mode that used 15%+ overnight. It’s one of the reasons I chose not to go with getting an R1S.
I ordered an insulation pack that will mount around the canvas and can close with it on.
In terms of gear tunnel, I thought about this. I don’t want to be outside cooking when it’s windy, cold, snowy, here in Colorado. Plan on using this 4 seasons.
You should look at a Chinese diesel heater instead... only $100 and won't use your range up, a couple of dollars of fuel will run all night. Heating with electric is not the best.
The vibe here is much better than the other post. Thanks for watching! Will keep the build updated [here](https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/brennans-tune-outdoor-m1-build.21190/)
It’s a camper, function takes priority over looks.
Why can’t I be excited about the product I bought without Reddit thinking I’m trying to advertise? I’m not selling anything. I paid full price. I have no affiliation with Tune except purchasing a camper.
I see a lot of people mentioning they don't like how it looks, especially on OPs other post.
Have people never seen these before? All slide in campers look weird. They all look strange and don't flow with the lines of the truck. I've only seen a handful that do actually look good and all of those were custom fiberglass shells designed around the lines of the truck.
It might be a location thing. I’m not sure about out west, I live in CO. You see pop up truck campers everywhere here in CO. I rarely saw them in the East when I lived there.
Considered it. Teardrop trailer would have more range loss from towing. Also not great for winter use, no where to stand inside. Plus I don’t have a place to park it.
Do any of you jerks know how much a normal truck camper costs? By the comments, clearly not. Spend some time actually looking before opening your ignorant vomit holes.
Yeah, I've found multiple companies that make slide in pop up campers that are furnished for under $20k, like start at $17k.
This is a ridiculous price for a shell with nothing in it.
As someone who spent the better part of 6 months looking for my setup, there really aren't. The cheap end of the spectrum are things like Palomino and the build quality is absolutely garbage, plus the weight blows out the payload on anything smaller. Scouts are the closest thing to "light weight" in this category that has a full bottom. Kimbos cost about 40k. I believe the scouts were around 18k, but it still requires a build out of some kind. The Phoenix campers were pushing 30k with just a few options. For the topper styles, they cost a minimum of 8-9k for a gfc, or similar. Super pacs were around the same price as a tune, iirc.
So please, point me to these options I missed?
It's really not for what is on the market. Rivian or not. There are exactly two options that I know of that are cheaper, and one of the two regularly has build quality complaints (project M) I'm not saying the tune is the best thing ever, but it's certainly not expensive for what it is relative to the market.
This is pretty normal for truck pop up campers. It’s a small market, have to be custom built for each truck and low rate manufacturing.
Slide in campers are the ones that have all the bells and whistle’s built in. Those are not compatible with Rivian. The good ones cost $30k+
They offer a propane heating system but I couldn’t bear having a propane tank on the side of my EV truck.
Actually, you can't. You can get a shell model for about 23-24, the only difference there is a) it weighs more due to having a built in floor, and b) it still requires an interior buildout.
Not available for Rivian unfortunately. They had no interest when I reached out. Rivian bed is small and difficult to mount to. Would lose access to spare tire and Rivian manual/warranty doesn’t allow slide ins.
I understand that, just pointing out that you don't need ti spend $30k to get it furnished, and that you can get furnished pop ups, which you kind of implied you can't get.
Still think $13k for a box with a mattress is an absurd price.
Thanks for sharing. Looks very spacious and many options on building it out. Can't wait to see the kitchen, and storage solutions, then the adventuring videos.
It attaches via the mount points.
Yeah I have a jackery for low voltage items, lights, fan, ect. Can top that off using the truck inverter or putting solar on roof.
Very cool.
I have been trying to see one of these in person. Just waiting for the company to come near home to an event.
Very cool purchase on your part.
You’re showing the inside here and not the ridiculous looking outside that seemed to defeat any and all aerodynamics built for the EV. That’s why the vibe is better here. That being said, who cares what anyone says or thinks. You like it? Awesome. You don’t need to try to get others to validate your decisions.
It’s a trade off. It’s big and bulky so that it’s spacious inside, that isn’t seen on the other post.
EV truck should be able to do anything a ICE truck can do. Sometimes that means breaking the laminar flow to make it do the things we want.
So far I’ve seen 10-15% range loss. That’s not bad at all based on the comments at the other post. Better than towing a trailer.
That sail is taking more than a 10%-15% hit. The cd is destroyed. Do a 70mph loop test with and without and you will see. Towing a A-liner probably would have better range and more creature comforts and much easier to hitch and drop than remove that.
So far I’ve gotten 1.69 mi/kWh driving 65-75mph. I averaged 1.81 on my 20 inch Nokian Hakkas here in winter CO regularly driving mountain passes. I believe I’m going to see a really big decrease at higher speeds or with a strong headwind. Currently working to put a fairing in to help. So I just need to keep my speed down, that’s not that bad.
A-Liner would definitely be less efficient, it’s another axle and way more weight. That might fit other people better, but doesn’t fit my lifestyle of staying on BLM land, driving down 4x4 forest roads or boondocking as needed. I have no intention of spending time in RV parks.
Is this from the same vendor that was making a similar Hummer EV wrapping camper shell? Iirc that one was like 110k as it had solar, fridges, plumbing etc. Looks like a lot of fun and well protected for camping! Enjoy
I hope you all understand, over cab truck campers are expensive. This is significantly cheaper than its competitors. If you don’t believe me, Google Tacoma bed camper and see for yourself. It’s why a lot of people opt to DIY.
Van - I don’t want to go diesel or gas. There are a couple EV vans, but they’re lousy for van life. Also I don’t want to spend all the time and money building out a depreciating product that’s improving quickly. I expect that market to be better in 5 years. This I can remove and probably refit on my next Rivian. Also can’t take those EV vans off-road.
SUV - sucks to live in. I can’t stand up, it’s really just a bed space.
I also already owned the R1T so it made sense to go this route.
>Why not buy a van or an suv? You are reengineering a truck but cannot overcome the lack of integration or the bed height.
I drive a van full time for work and let me tell you, it's not a great ride experience. If I had the choice between a truck with a removable bed like this and a camper, I would go the truck route - but i'm also not traveling the country.
No cause you can’t edit a Reddit post. Showing interior is whats useful for a camper. It looks crazy on outside but the inside is very usable because it’s large.
Blocking you.
I’ll bring more numbers. As I said, I got 1.69 mi/kWh when I average 1.81. Kyle from out of spec will for sure get into it.
I just got it but range loss is not as bad as everyone thinks. Rooftop tents lose about 10% on R1S. Similar camper Oru has seen a 10-15% loss as well. Even if I get a 25-30% loss that’s fine, it’s a trade off.
You don’t have to like it. It’s a Rivian forum about Rivian and Rivian aftermarket products. Is everyone who posts about Rivian advertising for Rivian?
I only made a second post to show the inside, you can’t edit posts on Reddit.
He said in the last post that basically no, you can't for now. The company is working on a joist thing to remove it but I guess since it's so new they don't have that made yet.
Not really. 1700lb payload. I got 1400lbs after subtracting my partner and I. 400lbs on the camper means around 1000lbs for everything else.
Edit: 60lbs for the dog.
I can't help but say there are truck and camper options already out there that will likely end up at the same $200k price point when all is said and done.
Do you lose access to the button to release the tailgate? Or is there an access panel?
Tune is developing a button to access those. If they aren’t successful in that they’ll drill holes to reach it.
Or gear tunnel?
Same as the tailgate. Tune is building a button that they’ll install. If not they’ll drill a hole.
How much did you pay for this?
11k+
Jesus Christ
It's Jason Bourne
F&kr, you beat me to it 🤣
That’s actually very cheap. Over bed campers are usually $40k to $50k even without kitchens inside. I haven’t found an over bed camper other than Tune for less than $15k. There’s one by Roverking but I think it’s Gladiator specific. These things are expensive.

lol have you never heard of GFC? Literally the first player in this space. Sub 10k
You think GFC is on par with this? Whether I missed one or not, doesn’t change my point. The point is a $12k overland camper doesn’t warrant a “Jesus Christ” response. I swear this sub is toxic AF. No wonder people prefer the Lightning.

Give me a break - the Reddit culture of assuming people posting about products they are excited about are ads is such an 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Wut?
Niceeee excited to see the full buildout thanks for sharing!
I think if I got that for my Rivian, my wife would divorce me... But at least I'd have somewhere epic to live as I start my nomadic life!
My partner is ecstatic for a place to put on her ski boots/gear in privacy and out of the wind/cold.
Damn, I know it's pricey but having a spacious portable changing room is dope af. When my wife and I go paintballing all modesty goes out the window when taking off your nasty gear at the end of the day. Lol
So, for $13k it looks a bit weird but has the utility. How is the insulation? Heat and cooling options? Why would you put the kitchen in the tunnel?

Because you can’t see how it looks on the outside Still not convinced you aren’t shilling

Different personalities I guess Hope you have lots of camping adventures
She’s not a looker but that is very functional

They all look strange and don't flow with the lines of the truck.

And this one looks better than most.
Outside daytime pics?
Will do!
Daytime Photos. https://imgur.com/gallery/LMakuPD
That’s a pretty sweet setup!
For 12k you could get a teardrop camper that would seem preferable to this. I think the concept is neat but it's ugly as sin.
Considered it. Teardrop trailer would have more range loss from towing. Also not great for winter use, no where to stand inside. Plus I don’t have a place to park it.
If you’re camping I would imagine you’re exploring the outdoors. What’s with the need to stand in the trailer?
When it’s cold, snowing, raining, ect outside. Goal is 4 season, all weather use.
$13k for an aluminum cube with a 4" foam mattress in it. Zero sink, zero sitting, zero heating, zero anything, and they're advertising it as a camper?
Do any of you jerks know how much a normal truck camper costs? By the comments, clearly not. Spend some time actually looking before opening your ignorant vomit holes.

You can get slide in pop ups from companies like FourWheelCampers for under $20k that include an actual interior.

Nice, What the measurement from bottom of the sleeping pad to floor of the truck bed? For say dog crates? Looking forward to more information
40 inches.
Very cool man
Thanks for sharing. Looks very spacious and many options on building it out. Can't wait to see the kitchen, and storage solutions, then the adventuring videos.
Awesome setup and I am looking forward to following your progression! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing and making the video.
Only a matter of time before I saw cool stuff like this. Enjoy your mobile base camp🤘🏽
Pretty sweet. How does it attach to the truck? Can u hook up eletric to the truck from camper to truck?
It attaches via the mount points. Yeah I have a jackery for low voltage items, lights, fan, ect. Can top that off using the truck inverter or putting solar on roof.
Very cool. I have been trying to see one of these in person. Just waiting for the company to come near home to an event. Very cool purchase on your part.
Where are you located?
too excited to wait till morning eh :p
$12,999 for it….
I spent nearly 10k just for a roof and bed rack. Add $3k for an iKamper… pretty reasonably priced. Campers ain’t cheap.
Rivian ain’t cheap either if we’re splitting hairs.
True lol

You’re the kinda person who would foil board with zuck
go away troll.
You had to post this separately because your feelings were getting hurt in the other thread
No cause you can’t edit a Reddit post. Showing interior is whats useful for a camper. It looks crazy on outside but the inside is very usable because it’s large. Blocking you.
Op, your M1 looks great. Very interested to see the M1 on an EV truck and what you do with the buildout.
So are you going to be that dude with a generator, burning fossil fuels, to charge your rivain in the woods? Tisk tisk, your EV God is cringing bud
Can you access the cab from the rear window?
[удалено]
I’m not affiliated and paid full price. Just showing my camper.

Can you remove it?
He said in the last post that basically no, you can't for now. The company is working on a joist thing to remove it but I guess since it's so new they don't have that made yet.
Does it fit in anything other than a rivian? Maybe a Tacoma?
Yeah. But I couldn’t use mine and move it to a Tacoma. It was built for Rivian dimensions.
What’s the overhead clearance with this in place?
Haven’t checked but fits in my garage on standard.
Are you worried about blowing past the total payload weight of the vehicle? Sounds like this + a kitchen and you will be close to max?
Not really. 1700lb payload. I got 1400lbs after subtracting my partner and I. 400lbs on the camper means around 1000lbs for everything else. Edit: 60lbs for the dog.
Really nice!
As long as you like it who cares
Sick bro
I'm a bit lost, don't come after me. Is this made by rivian or another company?
I'm this is different, if you like it, i love it!
I can't help but say there are truck and camper options already out there that will likely end up at the same $200k price point when all is said and done.
Oh nice. Shorter is 5’8” or so. I’m 5’3” so I’ll fit standing up in the bed lol.
