What are the best bed accessories for the R1T if I need something secure for gear storage before my trip next month? Im super stressed because I have a big camping road trip coming up through the Pacific Northwest and my current setup is basically just a mess of loose bags. I saw the Rivian branded gear tunnel stuff online but the price tag is just insane, and then I checked out some third party tonneau covers but read mixed reviews about them rattling on the trail. My budget is around 800 bucks for now, I just really need to keep my expensive camera gear dry and locked up tight back there, so what are you guys actually using?

Honestly, skip the expensive branded gear tunnel stuff. I tried the Decked Drawer System Rivian R1T and it was bulky, so now I just use Pelican 1615 Air Case.

> Honestly, skip the expensive branded gear tunnel stuff. Totally agree. I used to haul gear in loose bags too until I got tired of the PNW rain soaking my stuff. For the budget you have, check out the TruckVault Storage Systems secure drawer or the Bak Industries Revolver X4s tonneau cover. The Bak rolls up super easy, while the Vault keeps optics bone dry. I prefer the tonneau for quick access, but for expensive lenses, that vault is king.

To add to the point above: totally agree that those drawers get way too heavy. Since you need serious protection for camera gear, check out the UnderCover SwingCase units. They are super secure, waterproof, and way cheaper than custom drawers! I used these on my last trip to the Olympic Peninsula and my gear stayed bone dry despite the crazy rain. Plus, you can easily pull them out when you arrive at camp. Total lifesaver.
