Electric Camp Kitchen in a Chuck Box Form Factor: Field Kitchen + Field Table (by Thunderbolt Adventure)

[Thunderbolt Adventure]

Hey folks!

Been seeing some comments that folks would like a chuck box style camp kitchen that takes advantage of the onboard battery in the Rivian. Our Field Kitchen is just that! We paid attention to the details important to this community. It fits under the tonneau and if you're running our Bed Glider, it slides right out. It's also sized to be easily transported in the rear of the R1S (and the R2). We went with a universal plug receiver so that you can use your own heavy duty extension cord rather than needing a specific power supply. You can set it up on the tailgate of the truck or SUV or on our Field Table (available on its own or as an option with the Field Kitchen). It also sits securely on a picnic table bench or at the end of a picnic table. There's space inside to store all of your camp pots, pans, and dishes. The bamboo drawer covers multitask as counter space and cutting boards. The induction cooktop is super efficient - boil water in no time. All in about the same size and shape of a standard flip-top plastic bin. Made from durable powder-coated aluminum and rapidly-renewable bamboo, it's tough and looks good. Let me know if you have questions!

Well, for that price I'd probably just go with Rivian's Travel Kitchen.

Rivian's travel kitchen is a very different product. Not a chuck box style kitchen at all as it doesn't include storage space for anything more than a few utensils. My post was in response to the comments to this post that folks would consider the product if it had an electric fuel source.

Got a DM from a forum member and among other things the writer wanted to know if the truck's on-board inverter could support the cooktop's draw. The short answer is yes. The induction cooktop we use for the Field Kitchen as well as the Overland Camp Kitchen and Gear Sled has a self leveling function so that you can't accidentally turn both burners on "high" and trip the breaker. That said, the truck uses one inverter for all of the 120v outlets, so you can trip the breaker if you're using the other outlet to run something else while your cooktop is on.

I have a Bluetti AC180 that I use as a buffer between the Rivian and my power draw any time I'm using something that might exceed 1500W (the Bluetti goes to 1800W). It's worked well for me, but I am looking at the Pecron F3000LFP which allows up to 3600W because there are times when I want to have more power for an hour or so.

Yes, we have a Jackery battery that we use the same way. We mainly use it to power our plug-in cooler so that we don't have to keep the inverter turned for long periods. Bonus is that we can charge the Jackery from the 12v system which avoids the main battery pack drain from just having the inverter on.
