Loki slide-in EV Camper for Rivian R1T

[kylealden]

Haven't seen anyone mention this here yet - I just stumbled upon the Loki Basecamp, which is a slick looking slide-in camper and they plan to make a R1T-specific model: LOKI Basecamp - Rivian Edition | Loki Basecamp

Most slide-ins seem to need at minimum a 5' bed, so this could be interesting for the R1T. Of course, then there's the price... starting at $135,000. ?

It's not too bad once you factor in the trade-in on your house...

Good point, then I don't even have to worry about if the R1T will fit in my garage with ski racks because I won't have a garage.

I'm in.

watch out for those low bar drive-thru fast food joints

and all parking garages

I talked to a number of slide-in folks. Some were very into working with the R1T. The problem for me was the load limit in the R1T. Figuring in the slide-in, myself, wife, 2 dogs, and stuff got me way too close to the load limit for comfort. The tow capacity is huge, the load limit is, well, very limiting.

What's that going to do to range? ??

Well, for $125K it better be chocked full of batteries, so the range should be fine.

$135k?

The Loki model for small trucks weighs 1200 lbs. Add in a couple people and stuff and remember that the total payload, including passengers is 1760 lbs. I figured that if I put my wife, two dogs (total dogs about 125 lbs) and some gear in, I wouldn't be able to take my son and his wife for a ride without challenging the payload limit. The R1T would need a super light slide in...and they just aren't out there unless you want really barebones.
