Turn the Rivian camp speaker bay into everyday storage. Here's how the Camp Speaker Drawer Replacement installs and what to check before you start.
Quick answer
If you rarely use your Rivian camp speaker, replace it with the Camp Speaker Drawer Replacement for Rivian R1T/R1S. It drops into the speaker bay, latches like the speaker, and gives you a usable drawer for the 99% of the time the speaker isn't in use.
Why a drawer makes sense for most Rivian owners
The camp speaker is a clever feature, but it takes up a fixed compartment that could otherwise hold everyday items. A drawer turns that dead space into quick-access storage for cables, snacks, tools, or small gear. Because the drawer latches the same way the speaker does, you don't need to modify the truck or add brackets.
The trade-off is obvious: you lose the built-in speaker. If you use the camp speaker regularly, keep it. If it mostly sits in the bay, the drawer is a practical swap.
What to check before you order
The drawer is made from strong ABS plastic and is designed specifically for the R1T and R1S camp speaker compartment. It is not a universal insert, so confirm your model and that your vehicle has the camp speaker bay. Also note that the drawer is a replacement for the speaker, not an addition—you remove the speaker to install it.
How to install the camp speaker drawer
- Remove the camp speaker: Release the speaker from its bay using the same latch mechanism you normally use. Lift it out and set it aside. Check that the bay is clean and free of debris before inserting the drawer.
- Align the drawer with the bay: Slide the drawer into the empty compartment, matching the latch points to the speaker's original mounting points. Don't force it—if it doesn't seat easily, re-check the alignment.
- Press to latch: Push the drawer in until it clicks or latches securely, just like the speaker did. Give the drawer a gentle pull to confirm it's locked in place.
- Test the drawer action: Open and close the drawer a few times to ensure it slides smoothly and latches reliably. If it sticks, remove and reinsert to make sure it's seated evenly.
