FAQs

The Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Camp Kitchen comes with an integrated two-burner induction cooktop. It is matched to the outlet in the Rivian and is equipped with load balancing so that it does not trip the outlet’s breaker.

The Gear Sled (without the Kitchen modules attached) can hold up to 200 pounds of total weight.

When the Kitchen Modules are installed on the Gear Sled, you can add about 100 pounds of additional gear in the cooktop and sink modules. You can also store a full water tank in the storage module.

All Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Gear Sleds and Camp Kitchens are designed and made in California from the highest-grade marine-grade plywood available. Our internal Gear Bags are made in Washington State from waxed canvas.

We accept appointments to come to our workshop in San Francisco to check out our products. Visits are by appointment only. Please use the contact form to request an appointment.

We made installation truly simple -  all you need are the provided bolts, a No. 3 Phillips-head screwdriver, and a shop towel. Please watch the YouTube video instructions. If you have any questions, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

The best part is that installation is not permanent. The kitchen modules are designed to be easily removed, providing full access to your gear tunnel cargo area when needed. And the Gear Sled can also be easily removed.

No. When mounted properly, Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Gear Sled and Camp Kitchen operate as a cantilever (extends horizontally and is supported at only one end).

We recommend you utilize the leveling function in your Rivian (found under Camp Mode). We tend to set our truck in Standard or High depending on the terrain of our campsite, and then initiate the leveling function. Once that is complete, the Camp Kitchen will be as level as your vehicle.
