X1 Camper | Rivian Launch Crew Deposit

We designed the X1 camper to be the ultimate lightweight camper for adventure and everyday use. Rugged and durable, yet supremely versatile whether deep in the backcountry or just rolling around town. It strikes a balance between modern engineering, functional design, and maximum adaptability. 

Meet Our Team 

With the R1T, Rivian challenged the idea of what an all-electric compact pickup truck could be, and with that came innovative design features different from any truck model we’ve developed a camper for.  To integrate the design of the X1 with these unique characteristics, we will be developing some bespoke solutions along the way. 

Some of the Rivian-specific features we will be designing solutions for:

Spoiler / Cab-side Gap - The spoiler at the back of the cab on the R1T protrudes through the front plane of where our camper will sit. The solution is to redesign the front side of the X1 to accommodate the spoiler. 

Camper Mounting - The R1T’s accessory mounting points will allow for a robust yet discreet mounting of the X1 Camper on the Rivian.  The mounting hardware we use to grab the R1T’s accessory mounting points will be engineered specifically for the Rivian fitment and will be incorporated into the camper’s lower box beam for a high strength, low profile mounting solution. 

Tent Cantilever - The sub-5-foot truck bed means there will be more tent cantilevered over the cab than any of our other fitments.  Fortunately, the R1T has accessory mounting points on the roof as well.  The rear most accessory mounting points will be used to add additional support to the cantilevered clamshell.  

Tailgate / Tonneau Buttons – We plan to create a button interface so you can still use your tonneau, tailgate, and gear tunnel doors with the camper installed. 

3^rd Brake Light (CHMSL) - We will be developing a solution to connect the camper’s 3^rd brake light to the R1T’s brake light control system. This is a technical challenge, but it will not impact the design of the camper itself. 

Rivian Specific Accessories - We are compiling a list of possible Rivian specific accessories that we will assess and tackle once the X1 fitment is finalized.

FAQ's  

How much will it weigh? Based on our other fitments, we are estimating total weight around 360 pounds. 

How high will it be over the existing roof of the truck? Our goal is to keep it as low as possible to reduce wind drag.  Overall height is yet to be determined based on requirements. 

Can I add a fairing? We have a fairing in our development queue that will be compatible with the R1T X1 fitment. 

Will you be considering a full size pop-up tent for this version? No, we will not be making any changes to the overall concept of the X1 Camper. 

What choices and options will I have?  

• Tent Color - Grey, Tan, or Navy + Oyster 
• Canopy Color - Black, Grey, White, Tan, Green, or Blue 
• Rear Door – Window or Solid 

Design Input & Requests

We appreciate all feedback and will take it into consideration; however, we will not be able to take design requests or stray too far from the overall X1 design platform. We are excited to include you in our design process, and we want to be clear that there is no guarantee that any specific requests or recommendations will be included in the final product.

Join The Ride

Pricing - For the initial Rivian Launch Crew we are matching our existing X1 price of $14,420 for the base camper.  Future Rivian X1’s (after the initial Launch Crew batch) will be listed at a higher price (TBD based on final design). 

Deposit and Agreement - To join the Launch Crew, we require a $10,000 deposit and signed NDA agreement to lock in your spot.  We will hold these deposits in escrow until we release the Rivian camper for production.  The total Launch Crew is currently capped at 10 total participants. Please sign the agreement HERE then place your deposit below to begin the journey with us! Please do not pay your deposit prior to signing the NDA agreement. 

Refunds – If, for some reason, we fail to deliver a Rivian X1 camper, we will refund your $10,000 deposit.  Otherwise, the deposits are non-refundable. However, they can be transferred at the discounted rate to a different Rivian owner if your circumstances change or you decide the R1T X1 design is not to your liking.
