Owning a Rivian, one thing I've learnt over the years, is that you can never have a single setup. You would have different setups depending on what you do with your Rivian and how much gear you're willing to haul around too. For someone who loves adventures, here’s a set up I use that would suit your Rivian:
I keep my recovery gear, like the shovel, in the under-frunk, but it’s tough to reach if I’ve got lots of stuff piled on top. Now, I only have two bags, recovery boards, the NACS adapter, windshield fluid, and paper towels. This lets me lift everything out at once and set it on the ground (usually unpaved when I need the gear below).
I can also clear the frunk quickly for other uses. One bag works great for grocery shopping, since I often store food in the frunk.

The rear holds my kitchen setup. I have a swing tire carrier, which takes effort to access, but I swing it out for camping anyway, so it’s perfect for cooking. The stove fits in or on the gear bin. A rectangular frame raises the floorboard, and the cover doubles as a table (you can see the black cover over the carpeted board). The brown piece is the bed’s bottom layer, which folds down after cooking.
To the left of the gear bin, I keep my L2 charging gear, used mostly for longer stays, so swinging out the carrier is no big deal.
This setup works great cause it provides a lot of space for you to pack as much as you'd need for your trip. One I'd recommend for anybody.
