GoFastCamper GFC Mods, Tips, and Tricks thread.

what about that full back window organizer? I was going to get one of those. Hopefully it still works with the V2

 

i think he has V2 versions of all the things.

or are you talking about the duluth trading co one?

 

that duluth trading co one. It should work..

 

I see you're giving the 3rd gen some exercise

 

sally did some work to it, and we had a 'fight' that she won - was fun to drive it and see how it preforms mate - and to simply get away

What size propane tank is that?

 

First night in the V2!! So stoked on the new setup

 

correction... after doing a little research on the markings on the tank... looks around "6lb"

TW- 8.2lb
WC- 15.0lb

 

anyone with a V1 that wants to add some pretty handy mods

Need to buy that hatch latch setup. Pretty cool and simple fix.

 

I like those magnet mounts. I also feel like I could make them myself, but for $35 for 8 shipped, is an amazing deal

 

I see the benefit, but I’d prefer to have lights wired throughout and on one dimmer switch. Can’t decide if I want to do white & red leds and wire them myself or just buy the Matt Gecko LED kit for convenience sake.

 

I have a knockoff bed LED kit wired into my bed battery. It was pretty good for the $25 that I spent on it. I just didnt want a kit because I wasnt running the wire to the front battery or tapping off something in the hitch. I think I will eventually get another one to go on the upper level in the camper, but Id need to think more about that.

 

I want to buy another Blue Sea fuse block to put inside the passenger bed cubby for future bed accessories. Unfortunately I already ran 8-gauge wire to the Blue Sea 2-port switch panel I installed there and really don’t feel like running an even larger 2-gauge wire because I’m lazy... Haha

 

That is how I have mine..

I have a group 24f marine battery in a box. I have a blue sea 6 fuse block inside the box lid. From there, I have a usb/12v plug in the passenger side cubby. The wires for that go over the fender liner, and then I drilled a hole into the front corner of the bed, to get into the battery box. My 100w solar panel charges that battery. And right now, only the fridge and the bed lights go off of that battery.

I am planning on getting a bigger panel, bigger battery, and possibly an Amazon knockoff of an sPod, for bed lighting/accessories.

 

Pretty much what I’d like to do. I think solar panels will be in my future some day too.

 

I plan to do a ctek dc-dc charger too. For those cloudy days. I just need to get a hydraulic crimper and some bigger wire to connect with the main battery

 

I want to get a Redarc dual battery charger to replace my Blue Sea dual battery charger so I can get the built-in solar input that it has. Have t looked into the Ctek ones. Hopefully that’ll keep it as simple as possible without needing extra parts. Mainly just for those days we are using the fridge and heated blanket/future diesel heater.

 

I think the ctek D250se has solar capability too. And you can mix battery types. I was doing some research a while ago, but got moved back on the list, until after I get the gfc installed.
