I've done the research. page 183, August 2022 manual:Calling all campers / RV enthusiasts out there:
I recently decided to cancel the purchase of a 4x4 Sprinter van because I figure I'll be better off getting an R1T and adding some kind of optional camping solution. (Hard to park Sprinters in the grocery store parking lot...)
The Rivian-Yakima tent looks cool but I'd like to consider more substantial (i.e. hard-sided) solutions, given that I have the storage space. Towing a teardrop should be a breeze for the Rivian but wondering if anyone has considered the slide-in truck campers? I think they tend to be pretty heavy, so maybe that rules them out as an option?
Truck campers seem like they could be more hassle than they're worth, given the difficulty in getting them off/on as compared to a teardrop, but please enlighten me if you've done this research. Also, what teardrops do folks like? Seems like a lot of new/cool ones are on the market these days. (Timberleaf, Mean Bean, Polydrop, Vintage Overland, Escape Pod, TAXA, etc...)
There's a dealer in BC if you are on that coast. I've checked with them a couple of times in case they had a used one around...yep, lovely trailers.Yeah. They have six models now Including 2 retractables. They’re built to order and have about an 18 month wait.
When we purchased in 2016, GetAway RV in BC could only deliver to Washingtonians. We lived in PDX at the time which is significantly closer to BC than Quebec. At least we had a nice trip for factory pickup.There's a dealer in BC if you are on that coast. I've checked with them a couple of times in case they had a used one around...yep, lovely trailers.
