Are those pictures from the overland expo last week?

The only things that look different to me are the cutting board and the towel rack. See Rivian Camp Kitchen x Snow Peak Package - Gear Shop - Rivian

Do you know if these pictures represent a current version or an earlier version?

In the earliest version I remember the sink lid doubled as a drying rack which I think is sad they removed. But I guess since they haven’t been able to manufacture it (Rivian seems to have no idea when they might start delivering that option) who knows what the final version will look like?

Wait a sec?! Are you saying that no one has taken delivery of R1Ts with the camp kitchen yet? I know it wasn't a high penetration option, but still by now, I would think a few customers got the CK. I don't want to sign a contract for a $5000 option that will not be delivered with the truck and then be making payments on something that I have no clue when it would be delivered.

 

[O. horridus]

Correct, no one has gotten a camp kitchen yet. You won't have to pay for it - they remove it from your order and guarantee you will still get the $5000 price when it becomes available.

I heard a rumor Rivian is test designing a CK option for the R1S? Will probably be an after market option. Has anyone else heard this??

 

[O. horridus]

Pure rumor/speculation at this point. And even if they are working on it, there is no guarantee it will ever become an available product.

I wanted to resurrect this posting because I'd like to know if anyone (who has already taken delivery of their R1Ts) have been given any promise date for the Camp Kitchen. I am told by Rivian they will honor the package Pre March 1st pricing, but still not been given a targeted timeline for it. Does anyone else have any updates, rumors, feelings, fairy tales, folklore, or legends to share on this matter?

 

[Livinginkaos]

Talked to my guide yesterday and asked him to put me back on the list. He said they'll still offer me pre-change pricing. He said they are hoping for fall, so in other words, he didn't know.

 

[Joelster]

Yep. I heard fall and that they would offer the early pricing for Pre-change reservation holders.

I find myself wondering if for $5k I might wanna just fabricate my own solution.

 

[ERivTruck]

I know it is a 5K option, but remember you are also getting the Gear Tunnel Shuttle which (last time I checked) a $1500 stand alone option. Then you figure about $1000 for the 30 piece kitchen set. So now you are looking at about $2500 for the kitchen itself. That does not seem bad when some of us have to spend $1500-$2500 to have paint on the vehicle.

My only "concern" is that when these arrive, we have to schedule an appointment at our local service centers to have them installed. Still cannot lock down from Rivian if the $5000 INCLUDES installation or not.

Everything I've heard says that it does include install.

I heard "September", but I think that was just to keep me from my daily asking until September

 

[ERivTruck]

Keep the hordes at bay until September (at least).

 

[Livinginkaos]

It will include install - that comes with the shuttle.

If you do try this, just don't post a video claiming to have made something "just as good" as the Rivian camp kitchen for only $200 by putting a used George Foreman grill and a set of Ginsu knives into your gear tunnel.

My concerns with the kitchen being delayed are about warranty. If you read the warranty, it states gear purchased WITH the truck carry the same 5 year warranty, but gear purchased AFTER the truck only have a 2 year warranty. I asked CS about this point, but they only quoted the warranty from the website, so I’m assuming only 2 years.

 

[Livinginkaos]

Yeah, not sure on that. We will have to wait and see as you may get a different answer depending on who you talk to at this point. I would think that for at least the shuttle, it would carry thru to the extent of the truck since it is going to be installed by them, but that's merely a guess.

 

[ERivTruck]

When we get them installed, I am sure there will be some sort of paperwork, at that time, I would think that supplemental paperwork should include warranty coverage on items installed AFTER delivery of the truck.

Resurrecting this post to see if anyone has heard anything about availability of the CK. It is now January 2023 and a large portion of us will start using our R1Ts to go camping this spring and summer. It would be super handy and helpful to have a CK that can be designed, deployed, bought and installed by then!
