Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

Jack got his iKamper November and last weekend we headed to our usual spot in Door County. The inflatable memory foam mattress, which never deflated, was a major hit and the overall comforts were our daily coffee chatter between Jack, me, and the two pups on board.

I was impressed with the lack of range impact (yes, hard to believe no noticeable range impact) with an RTT connected to the back of the truck. The dogs slept at night in the truck's bed under the RTT and were blissful in their "cave".

Several people have asked if the iKamper was worth the price. It is costly, and it works great. We slept very well. Never an aching back, butt, or anything remotely sore. I do want to point out that the videos of setting up and tearing down the iKamper in less than 2 minutes are a bit misleading - they do NOT take into consideration that inflating or deflating the awesome mattress takes 6-12 minutes depending on your firmness preference.

Another awesome feature of the Rivian is plugging in an electric blanket for the cold and chilly nights - we were never uncomfortable when the temps dropped.

He said he would likely start building his new home at the mentioned location within the next couple of years and that's why he loves to go visit the area. He got his R1T early this year and he's been impressed with the R1T and the RTT combo. He even said he's looking forward to expanding his trips to other locations.

Oh! I forgot to mention self-leveling, which is the killer feature with this setup. Even on only slightly sloping ground, having a dead-level RTT is a game changer.
