There you go. Take the long way

 

all I saw was them using their crane…I don’t have access to one.

 

V1, grab 4 decently strong friends

V2, grab 2-3 decently strong friends

 

Installed mine directly from the OG GFC trailer with 4 people in an empty parking lot. Even with front and rear windows I think it was only about 250lbs.

Was easy to lift a little bit one corner at a time from inside and get a 2x4 under the edges when I was pulling bed rails or replacing bulb seal etc.

If you're short on bodies maybe get creative with some lengths of lumber and the trucks parked next to each other?

 

This is genius

 

More people should pay that $1 up charge for Red

 

Let me know how the drive was. My install date is 4/30 and Ill be making the drive from Ventura

 

What size t-nuts fit the top interior rail in the tent?

Thanks in advance!

 

Installed some VRNCLR Sewn Storage for the GFC. Now have a place to store bedding and the stuff in my pockets at night. Now I just need to go and actually use the truck.

 

Got a molle panel made by a local guy in Orange County, CA. He is planning to produce it in the near future. He stated price point will be around $225-250.

 

Very clean design. If I didn’t already have the Duluth seatbacker I’d be interested.

 

Looks great!!!

I was just down to see him this morning. He measured my standard v1 camper off my 3rd gen. Hope these molle panels in my size end up in production soon.

 

i would love this, let me know if he wants gladiator v2 measurements lol

 

I replied in the “other” forum. Would like to see a full molle, windowless version.

 

It looks like the V1 has some eyelets on the frame that people have used to hang storage nets etc from, but I just went out and looked at my V2 and there's nothing of the sort. Any ideas on how to hang a bedding catch?

 

I used some of these

You can kind of see them in my picture

 

As the weather warms up, let the mods commence!

I still need to order a bunch of things for when I redo my dual battery setup. But putting these pull knobs on was first and easy

 

Mine came with the pull knobs, what did you have before?

 

The "vending machine" locks that gfc originally used.

 

Disclaimer- totally not my idea. CameraTech off of the GFC Forum came up with this, I just added a couple ideas.

https://forum.gofastcampers.com/t/v2-tent-lock-failure/7524/39

After pulling the latch pins, you are left with a rectangular hole on the frame bracket, and a small round hole on the hinge bracket. These trailer locks are slightly bigger than the small hole, and a 1/4” drill was not quite enough. I drilled the small hole on each side out to 5/16”. This Does not affect the closing at all, and you can pop the latch pins back in any time.

For the trailer locks, I added a rubber washer on the outside, as well as cut the end off a rubber air valve cap and slid it on the shank. The rubber washer takes up the space side to side, and the rubber “sleeve” takes up the space inside the rectangular hole both for a very nice compressed fit when locked, no rattling, rubbing etc.

These are the locks- they came keyed the same:
