I had a mobile service tech to my vehicle earlier this week for an unrelated warranty issue. While on site, I asked if he could run diagnostics on my 12V batteries since my R1T is a 9/22 build with about 35K miles and I'm getting worried about needing to practively replace the batteries before...
I'd worry about that white color showing dirt, stains, and general wear over time... but I love all of my iKamper products and pleased to see them partnering with Rivian.
Iāve always left the unit outside my tentā¦ it needs to be kept upright for the condensate hose to drain properly. The hose creates quite a bit of condensation as well so be aware of that when you route it. Itās worked great for me in sweltering heat and humidity. YMMV.
This is my summer setup for A/C:
This setup works great... I typically use shore power or R1T AC outlet to avoid having to charge the unit batteries. It'll freeze you out of the RTT... and provide some moderation in the Annex Plus tent enclosure.
So, if ElectraFi indicates idle in lieu of sleeping, does that mean the HV is charging the 12V batteries? How many hours per day should the R1 be sleeping vs. idle? Thanks
I watched the YT video of the vendor changing the dual 12V batteries in a Gen1 R1T...it looked very straight forward but there appeared to be several comments from people that they couldn't clear the error codes after installing the Ohmmu batteries.
Has the warranty guide changed much over the years? I was surprised to see the Rivian Warranty Guide have so many iterations based on your effective date... but of course, didn't have the patience to compare different versions.

This may be the most useful application of the Electrafi data... monitor how many 12V battery "cycles" are being charged/depleted per week. I've never had excessive phantom drain, but I plug in every night. I might subscribe to Electrafi for a few months and monitor the sleep cycles before I...
My Gen1 Quad has a warranty of 36 months / 36K miles for the 12V batteries - whichever happens first. Not sure if this has changed on later models. You can look up your specific warranty policy for your model year here: https://rivian.com/support/article/new-vehicle-limited-warranty-guide
What are the thoughts of the Forum about if/when to proactively replace the 12V batteries before you get a warning message or failure? My R1T is now 30 months old with about 33K miles... do you schedule an appointment to replace them at the expiration of the 3YR/36K mile warranty? ...or do...
I've used the Yakima Slim Shady pull out awning and it works easy on the Rivian crossbar mounts... less than $500! Not certain about the feature/quality difference between it and the Kammok, but that's a significant price difference for the same functional performance.
In certain areas, I have found PlugShare to include compatible chargers (DCFC and LVL 2) that do not show up on the Rivian app or center screen. If planning a trip - or in a remote spot - I'll cross reference with PlugShare to ensure a comprehensive listing.
I did the pick up and tour in Sep 2022... at that time, they had capacity to do about 6-8 vehicle pickups per day and our tour was limited to a morning or afternoon session with 3-4 people in each tour. There was no delivery showroom - they just pulled your new vehicle to the front driveway...
I enjoyed the tour back in Fall of 2022ā¦ we stayed on the catwalk which eliminated any safety issues. I suspect it might be confidentiality issues. Iāve been in a lot of manufacturing facilities in my line of work and it is not uncommon for them to ban photos and require NDA documents. This gets...
I use the Yakima SkinnyWarrior cargo basket on top of my RT1 roof crossbars occasionally. It does have a wind fairing but still creates a bit of a whistle noise at higher speeds.
If you sync ABRP with your Rivian, it can automatically record and save your mapped routes, speed, temperature, elevation change, battery SOC, power, mi/kWH, etc., of each drive.
In addition, it will save stats from any charges (SOC, voltage, power, temperature)
I may be the exception, but Iāve left my HVAC in auto for 2+ years and have always been comfortable during 4 seasons, while driving, parked or pet mode. YMMV.
