Powering my RV A/C

[BigE]

Per Rivian’s web site and confirmed with CSR, the bed of the R1T only has 2-110 outlets. Any thoughts on why no 20 or 30 amp (TT-30R) outlet? It seems like a big missed opportunity. I’d love the ability to plug in my small camper while traveling or overnight parking.

Not just a missed opportunity, but a mistake. Why bother at all?

We're in the process of restoring a vintage Airstream - I've thought significantly about this, as we someday plan to tow with an R1S. Even though there is only 15amps available from the car, this should be enough continuous power for most loads, including a single high capacity (15K BTU) roof mount AC unit. What you would need is enough power for surge loads, like when the AC kicks on or if you're running anything else significant. That's solvable with a hybrid inverter with 3000 to 4000 watts of power and a decent size battery bank. Not as convenient as if the R1S had a 30 amp outlet, but doable.
