Go Fast Camper V2

[Wasatch]

This looks like a great project. I’m very interested in seeing how it comes together.

Can you mount those struts on the inside of the frame? It will give the exterior a sleeker look and the struts will likely last longer.

You totally can (and I really wanted to!), but it introduces too many problems when it comes to fastening the tent to the extrusion. The V2 GFC mounts the gas struts in the middle of their custom aluminum extrusion, eliminating that problem.

Best part of it being halfway across the country, is that I can spend the rest of my two week vacation exploring Montana and trying out the GFC. The GF and I are discussing plans to possibly moving out there. I work in IT. I can get a job just about anywhere. I'd be happy being a Barista if I could get some time off to explore.

My bad I thought that GFC was a strut company.

Very cool Wasatch, this is my plan as well. I'm planning on starting my build this summer but am only going with the topper section. Unfortunately a wedge tent isn't big enough for our family of humans and critters. I'll end up incorporating a rack for the roof with some aluminum extrusion to mount a tent to. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I wonder how much it weights? How hard is it to take off and put on.

Make your own!

I've been inching towards completion. I'll post a build thread once it's done:

Are you following the plans one of the Tacoma guys made? He made his own GFC clone with some changes, and sells plans for it online. He has some cool vids on youtube as well. I thought about doing this, he makes it seem a lot easier than I'm sure it is.

I have seen those threads... they help tremendously when it comes to comparing materials, bolt sizes, etc.. I'm excited to get it mounted on the truck and do a full write up for y'all.

All good things are worth the wait. This camper is worth every penny.
