Spotted in the background of RJ’s latest tweet:

Might just be a hack with some poles and a tarp, but I’d love to see a proper accessory!

Hmmmm, as much as I'm interested in a canopy as a potential option, all I can see is a big black case or big case wrapped in black plastic sitting inside the pickup box, plus a tarp strung out the side.

Hopefully, canopy information will arrive "soon" with other accessory stuff.

Although the potential for a hardshell canopy/Topper intrigues me, the use of a single tarp and pole with a few tie-downs and ground pegs looks like a really inexpensive way to gain some shade on the cheap without taking up much storage space. Kind of a hassle if you need the vehicle, but a great idea, nonetheless.

That is the Yakima + Rivian RTT(Roof Top Tent)...

It looks like the tarp isn't rectangular, so (appears to have a cutout for the RTT?), so I wondered if it might be some kind of special accessory kit. Even if it's a bit manual and clumsy, it would be slightly better than just a square tarp. (It looks like at least two poles and a few tie downs.) It would be nice to have something cut thoughtfully to clip into the roof and bed rack mounts without additional hardware or jury-rigged tiedowns.

I'd prefer a more traditional rollout design that could mount to the roof rack and bed without interfering with the RTT, but that seems pretty unlikely...
