Treehouse

Rivian

Designed with the R2 and R3 customer in mind, the tent leverages Rivian’s electric vehicle platform to enable powered features including exterior and interior lights, ventilation, usb-c charging, and a built in movie projector.

Our tent’s unique silhouette is framed on one end by a zipper-free door, and on the other by a custom hard shell with a large panoramic window.
