This is perfect, I would absolutely love to print these out myself, and take my Rivian out camping. As someone who has back problems, I can't really camp using a tent, so this is the next best thing. I should also note that I would be willing to buy these as well.

I love the simplicity and elegant 3D printed parts. That's an awesome setup from James!!

Well done sir, I have my R1S coming and I love this set up.

Hi Everyone, I went ahead and made my own platform, just took some time measuring this all up and I think I made it personalized even better, custom shape so it is wider at the front of the R1S and also built the tailgate piece solid so nothing slips around on that end and the Studio boxes are perfect. Also added Carpet over each piece to hide the holes in the wood and make it nice on the sleeping pad. Best hint was also those great little lights. Several nights now 'camping' and it all works great. Thanks for the inspiration to move on this project.

What a great setup and I'm sure people appreciate the info on where to purchase some of these items!

[rowcamp]

Hi James, I am also an R1S owner and really like the simplicity of your set up. I would totally purchase a set of your 3d printed parts if you wanted to set up a little store or whatever. I could make these from wood but as you know, the plastic is lighter and most likely stronger. Love your simplicity. Let me know if and when you set this up. Love it.

i don't even have a rivian but this guys setup might have just changed my mind on what i want to get next...

[DouglasGennetten]

Very interesting in the 3D files! Thanks.

[kanundrum]

Using my Amazon Roof Blocker from the forums! Right on man! Love the setup.

[rmacfarlane]

That platform and James is genius and this channel is such an excellent resource, awesome and big thanks!

[davidsontheimer]

James crushed it! Picking up my R1S at the end of the month... might just build everything in the video between now and then.

Omgosh! I would LOVE the SUV just to car camp! We do it in our Jeep Grand Cherokee but to have the extra length and frunk for storage would be a game changer. James did an AMAZING job with the platform and storage bins! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[ChuckHirstius]

Great setup. Maximizes the space back there and the extra storage under the sleeping platform is great to have

[lostsurferjames]

Bro. I'm James, and I came to this vid because I wanted to do exactly this with exactly that SUV 😂 Your intro had me shook

[Wasabi]

This answered my question in your other video. It seems like the R1s is more functional than carrying the icamper on the R1T, esp in adverse weather.

[Vyse]

Dood so cool! Thanks for showing this off!

[ViN-EzL]

Im going to save this in case I do get the rivian, this is dope dope dope 🎉

[bonanzabrandon]

The floor board / storage system is more effort than I would go through. With the mattress on top he has to be getting fairly close to the roof.

we got our 3 weeks ago.. I have posted few small videos.. great SUV but not perfect. Soon I will post a few early observations and I already made a service appointment.

Not sure I understand the point. Those 3 boxes can just site on the side and then you sleep on the other side. You can also use the spare tire compartment for extra storage and the frunk. I do like the lights and the inductive stove. Would love to see a "velcro board " to protect the split gate when cooking and to use as a cutting board.
