  1. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    Was at the Old Orchard event today. Inside in the darker lighting Catalina Cove looks very similar to Storm Blue. They had color samples there and we held up the two together and they are very close. Yet, in every picture outside in the sun Cataline Cove looks very Teal. This was the main...
  2. 2025 Silver Lake Sand Dunes Weekend was a Success!

    We had about five 50A camp sites at Hideaway campground that were shared to top up then most used their 30A plugs on their site to add another 10% or so over night. A few ventured to some chargers in Whitehall or Ludington that were putting out about 80Kw. A few even ventured up to the RAN...
  3. First Towing Test in my R1T

    Late reply. It is 132Kwh as someone else stated. From other trips we get about 100 miles comfortably at 80% from stop to stop but if it's windy the range drops a lot. This camper is not aerodynamic at all.
  4. Registration OPEN (5/13/2025)! 2025 Silver Lake Sand Dunes Weekend July 18-20

    Mark Denzel - coming from Northern Illinois. We booked site 200 because we needed water too. Please get that site added to the block. We went here last year as part of another group. Ordered the flag ahead of time which is totally not necessary. The store across the street from the park...

    @RealWheelsEV Bean I'm intending on being there depending on what comes up. I don't use Facebook so won't be confirming there. I have an extra set of running boards that were replaced someone can have for a R1T. They are slightly rusty since they didn't powder coat them correctly.

    If you are putting in a 60amp breaker and need 6awg wire the existing conduit probably won't be big enough for the current wiring and this additional. Would need at least 3/4" conduit. It's also hard to judge not knowing if there are any changes needed in your panel and what the distance is...
  8. Rivians ... Rivians Everywhere

    Seeing Rivians more often in Northern Illinois but still at most one a day. Just did a trip from Northern Illinois to Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan. I promised my wife we would see a lot of Rivians on this trip especially since we were stopping at Rivian chargers in Benton Harbor, Grand...

  10. Buckeye State Rivian Club Had A BLAST at Silver Lake Sand Dunes! 4k Video

    We went the first weekend of June as part of a late planned Chicago Rivian Club outing. Only one other person showed up at campground and only one other Rivian was at the dunes (they saw us but we didn't see them and didn't meet up while driving the dunes). It was Jeep excursion weekend and...
  11. First Wisconsin (Sun Prairie) RAN charging station site now open

    I live about 95 miles from this station and it's a perfect stop when pulling the camper on the way to Devil's Lake or other parts West or North of Madison. The Electrify America station at the Walmart in Madison was crowded 2 of the 4 times I stopped there and the Madison Recharge station with...
  12. Is charging in Wisconsin as bad as it looks?

    RAN station coming to Madison. Just showed up on Rivian charging map a few days ago.
  13. EV Sportline Running Boards Rusting after 2 Months

    Was contacted today and given a replacement order. Unfortunately this will require replacing everything and I did strip the head of one of the T55 bolts on install so this won't be fun removing that. On the plus side, I did have to grind down two of the brackets to get them to fix so they've...
  14. EV Sportline Running Boards Rusting after 2 Months

    Came across this post a few weeks back when it was constantly below zero. Wife was cleaning truck today and says both sides are rusting on the running boards. EDIT: added pictures. You can also see the screws used to hold down the step plate have the paint completely worn off too.

    pretty sure there is a garage at Wolf Point. I'm not sure where you expect to park if you cant' on the street (impossible in that area) and not comfortable in a garage. I work at the Merchandise Mart which across the street and just take the Metra in to Union Station and walk from there. It's...
