CHARGE ANYWHERE: THE WAY WE POWERED OUR ELECTRIC TRUCK OFF GRID
Explaining how we manage to charge our electric truck when we're out at the sand dunes! The closest one to us was about 80 miles and we made it work with our set up. Hope this helps anyone who wants to enjoy their electric truck with no chargers nearby!

Hauling our brand new 2024 Blazen Toy Hauler USING the Rivian from Riverside, CA to North of Sacramento. We used only the Rivian Network to charge! If you watch the video you will see we note all of the chargers and the experience we had at every stop. It was a long haul, but worth the drive. Side note: Sorry for the bright glare y'all! We'll get better with our next content!

    We've charged at Rivian chargers a number of times and have never used my app. Just plug it in and away it goes as long as you have a credit card set up in your Rivian account.

    EV towing isnt necessarily about weight. Its much mroe about aerodynamics. The bigger/boxier the toy hauler/trailer, the worse it is. The Rivian did much better towing more weight than that but with low profile pop-ups or low haul trailers. Just not meant for large traile towing on anregular basis unless you're just relaxing while stilping every 130-150 miles.

    you shouldn't even need the app at all. Just put in your final destination, let the route planner send you where you need to go, it will also tell you how much to charge at each stop before you can continue on. Never need to open the app, just plug the truck in and let it do its thing. This works without any need for an app if you are using either Rivian or Tesla chargers. If you end up at EA or something else, sure then you need their specific app.

      @@paulbram2 Tesla chargers allow you to just pull up and plug in but Rivian chargers need you to select the charger in the app to start charging. EA actually will let you just swipe your cc and plug in without the app, but they offer discounts I think with the app.

    just plug your camper into the 120v outlet in your Rivian. It's probably enough to run your AC.

    If you have a good credit card with Rivian you don't have to use your app on your phone, you just plug the Rivian into the charger and it just starts charging just like Tesla...

    There's a setting for the speed at which your Surron charges when it plugs directly to the wall from the bike. If it's slow it might be on the lowest voltage settings, I know mine took forever to charge until I changed it.

    The chargers designed to fit under the seat. You can run the cord out under the bike and loop the plug that goes into the bike out the side. There's even an indent for the cord out of the side.

    for the charger make sure to disconnect 120v power first when stopping charging, plug in 120v after battery plug when charging. connect battery main orange plug first then the blue / black comm plug, disconnect battery blue / black plug first also soprt mode with F3 setting is good
