I absolutely love this. Nice job, my dude.
I think you may have to make a friend at Rivian and somehow bribe him for one of the pre-production 180 degree tailgates.

Thinking about including a microwave in my kitchen setup. Do you just leave all the stuff in the microwave to bounce around, or are you securing it somehow?

If I was bribing someone at Rivian it would be for the front winch bumper.I absolutely love this. Nice job, my dude.

I just have about 10 kitchen towels that I jam in there, so not really secured but lots of padding. So far no issues and I have been down some pretty busy roads.

Here is a rough idea of my project in the back seat. Still need some automotive carpet and some light weight plywood or something back to finish off the seat back. I will attach a plate on the passenger side to secure the Milwaukee Packouts down. Also need to build a hatch to access the under seat storage.
Details on how to remove the seat here.

Well one way to find out.... Road trip....
I would imagine it might be close enough for the truck's antenna. I was wondering if maybe you routed it outside and stuck it underneath the top near the antenna. Although this wouldn't help you much inside that camper.

Ha, yeah the seat back went back in. I debated but the only benefit I could see was reduced weight and with the amount of work that would have gone into refinishing it the weight savings of maybe 20-25 lbs hardly seemed worth it. This way I can easily re-install the lower portion if I need it.
Speaking of weight I did drop 100 lbs by losing the spare when I switched back to the 21s…. Does this mean I can get rock sliders now???

Slight modification to the interior of my camper this weekend. I removed the hinge and the strut from my bed platform. I can now slide the extension part under the mattress so it’s completely out of the way. Kooper can hang out up there, the space feels bigger and I can easily access my sink and countertop. Huge upgrade for me, I believe new Oru campers come like this by default without having to drill out 30 rivets.

So at this point you should have a good idea at what your biggest pain points are. What would you change if you were responsible for creating this pop-top from scratch? Also interested in if there are changes you'd make to the truck.
