We'll be towing an Airstream with our R1T and we're looking to maximize boondocking capabilities, including sometimes running an air conditioner (3kw-ish). Our Airstream currently has a whopping 2.4kwh battery -- seems like a perfect Rivian-max-battery-shaped peg hole.
We were hoping R1T would be announced to have a 30a outlet (like the new hybrid F150), but no dice. So now we're sizing up the known and unknown possibilities. I'm seeing three options:
If I knew #1 and #2 were not possible, I'd upgrade the Airstream's battery & inverter today. Is anyone in a position to give me hope? or to quash my hopes?
We were hoping R1T would be announced to have a 30a outlet (like the new hybrid F150), but no dice. So now we're sizing up the known and unknown possibilities. I'm seeing three options:
Option 1: Bidirectional charging -- fingers still crossed on this one, as they haven't confirmed either way.
Option 2: Combining two 15a Rivian outlets to 30a -- There are parallel combiners for joining two 15a generators into a single 30a outlet. Anybody want to speculate whether this will be feasible on Rivian?
Option 3: Accept Rivian 15a limit and buy a bigger Airstream battery/inverter -- use Rivian outlet to continuously charge battery, then run Airstream off of battery
