thank you for posting....these are a must for me...when I travel, I'll need to put the ski bags somewhere to get to the airport...i can get them in my Yukon XL but they certainly will not fit in the Rivian...however, this fixes that issue as long as things can strap on easily...

My wife and I added the three-person tent to our configuration. It's the first time for us using something like this.
I'm assuming that the tent has a hard bottom on it, so it doesn't sag between the crossbars. Would that be correct?
Thanks!

Yep hard bottom and nice cushy mattress. I have had the Yakima Skyrise 3 person tent for several years and it's worked well. It's nice to get above the vehicle to sleep and less bugs to deal with... just be careful getting out for those late night potty breaks!
Here's the tent on my H3 the first time we tested it out.

Takt,
Thanks for sharing the picture of your old H3. Did the shade on the opposite side of the ladder come with your tent, or did you purchase that separately? I like that!
The awning is/was a separate purchase. There a quite a few options out there for them as well as styles. I was originally looking for a foxwing, but couldn't justify the usage/cost/benefit there.

Does anyone know the spread? I have a Yakima 21 Skybox that I would like to use with it, but the spread doesn’t seem long enough. Does the crossbars slide along or it seems there is a 3rd anchor towards the back?

Does look like a third attachment point further back.

R1S Roof Mounted racking system???
Anyone know or have pics of the roof racking bar system or options? Will it have crossbars or rails to mount a racking system to??

Are the cross bars something we can add after market?

Maybe, eventually. The attachment mechanism appears to be unique to Rivian, so you'd have to wait for someone to make a compatible tower.
Honestly, the Rivian bars are reasonably priced, so I'm not sure why you'd want to go aftermarket?
