It’s installed! Drive home I had 1.69 mi/kWh going 65-75mph. I averaged 1.81 mi/kWh. Not bad. Considering some sort of aero improvements m.

Putting it to use this weekend in Crested Butte.

Kyle from Out of Spec reached out on doing a video. Hopefully he can dig into some of the nerdier details.

That is pretty sick! Can't wait to see how you build it out. Keep us updated!

Click the Imgur link, let me know if that doesn’t work. Couldn’t upload the video onto RF.
Very spacious inside, jealous of those shelves on either side.

Looks tremendous, large spaces, bulletproof construction.

As you noted, would definitely want to make a front fairing or spoiler to put flow up and over that catcher's mitt. Feels like a decent efficiency gain may be had, along with some noise reduction.

yes, putting in an order with CO Fairing Company to build one. Apparently they’re already working on one for a Rivian Oru.

Finally a good use for that Chilewich bed mat!

Also jealous of your tall (8' I assume) garage doors. I can barely make it in my garage with my RTT and deflating my tires (and even then the rubber weather seal rubs the top of the tent), no way I would be able to fit that camper. New garage planned for 2025 with taller doors and ceiling, but until then I will have a pucker moment every time I try to squeeze in.

do you know what the height is with the tune closed and the r1t set to low/medium/high? trying to figure out if this will fit in the garage...

Wish the top went up like a Westfalia, so you'd have a little more headroom at the pickup bed side of things. But, hey, I'm no longer a camper so to each their own.
