For enthusiasts of the Rivian R1T, Super Pacific has announced plans to engineer a version of their X1 Camper specifically tailored to accommodate it. The company will begin production once it receives ten deposits for this new fitment, allowing early adopters to engage in the design process and secure the camper at the current X1 pricing.

Initial depositors will have visibility in the design process and a front-row seat on how the product is made. The initial deposit will go towards the existing price of the X1 Camper ($14,495).

“We are super-fans of the innovation and ambition behind Rivian’s R1T. We have had enough inquiries from Rivian owners that we’re ready to take on the design challenge of an X1 Camper for the R1T despite its unique complexity and relatively small numbers on the road. 

We’ve been eyeing the EV market for a while now and are super stoked to kick off the Rivian development!” said Peter Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of Super Pacific.

The X1 Camper has become integral to their outdoor lifestyle with its thoughtful design and practical features.

Why did the Lorena’s family choose the Switchback X1?

“For the camper, we wanted it to be light, easy, and fast to set. After researching campers, I showed my wife and kids the videos of different wedge camper options, and it was a unanimous vote for the X1. The kids all agreed about the design. My wife and I also agreed that the design is beautiful and slick. It’s a very well-thought-out design overall.”

What’s your favorite feature of your X1 Camper?
