The Go-Fast Campers Backcountry Access Build - With Opinions

I’m in for a second production if it’s in the cards! My dog hates me for buying a truck without a front bench seat. She used to ride up front with me everywhere.

 

I would love a bench seat in rear or access cab!

 

Sorry I forgot to get a photo of my truck bed "build-out". So here's how I ran it for the trip I just got back from. Total of 9 nights with this setup. But it hardly varies. Not pisctured is a small box with food and kitchen stuff that goes in the back next to the uggs

 

What did you use for the platform? Is that a bigger piece of the trans forma floor panels above?

 

Yep, it a piece of the 1" honeycomb material. Really light. Needs no extra support. Working on a more refined version.

 

I would be interested in a refined version, although I have my dometic mounted to my wooden platform now but the set up is kind of heavy and requires crossbeams for support.

Sweet build, after getting my GFC and doing some spirited driving I too am moving towards this kind of build philosophy. Light, fast, agile.

Also looking forward to the cab rack, you guys are working hard on amazing stuff and it shows in the quality and service.

 

I like the camper and the dog !

 

Definitely interested in something like that.

I want a platform back there but something light is a must. I alternate between 1 bike in the bed and 2 bikes on a hitch rack so this would be rad as I could remove it super easy.

I'd be down to just buy a piece of this from you guys when I come up to have my camper installed in January if you'd be willing to sell it to me.

Love the go fast and light ethos. Keep up the killer work.

Just got my two person Enlightened quilt yesterday, super nice. I have had their single quilts for a few years and the quality has gone up for sure.

 

We recently got this Rumpl quilt. It seemed a bit more durable than some of the other options in case a dog finds their way on to it.

On a recent trip between Seattle and Glacier NP we had:
- (home made) Flannel sheets
- Pillows (we cut a normal pillow in half and made flannel pillow cases)
- Synthetic bag liners
- Rumpl

On the cooler nights (low 20s F) we used the bag liners and the quilt, on the warmest night (mid 50s) i just had the bag liner as a blanket (my wife had the whole quilt). This setup worked great and everything packs easily into a waterproof duffle.

 

The Itasca quilt has been rad. I have the 10 degree model and can sleep with just that down to about 20f before I start getting cold. It's the perfect size for the go fast.
