GFC camper for non-camping uses

Curious if anyone has found and willing to share any good use cases for their GFC camper other than actual camping?

It makes a great mascot changing room for off campus events.

I’ve had to use mine for our mascot at Parades, research fairs, and a few community events when they have not had a separate room for the mascot to change/rest

I use mine for hunting and fishing. While I often camp in it too, like Dogandjeep said, it makes for a great changing room. It’s helpful to be able to stand up while changing and the solid panels make it nice and private. Without over-sharing, I have also used my portable toilet it in when going in the woods was not an option

+1 for changing room

Also good as a day chill spot or nap spot at the beach

During the week it’s my locker for my MTB gear

I pop the sides for airflow in the garage and it keeps the stink down on my helmet and stuff

I use mine for work zoom calls when my wife has a call and needs the home office

I totally forgot about this use case but absolutely. I have often popped it up and used it as a bathroom with my portable toilet when the rest stop bathrooms or vault toilets are not the cleanest.

The best is when I’m out in the middle of nowhere and I can open a side panel to enjoy the view :rofl: :rofl:

It’s great for a quick pit stop by the beach for the sunset or a burrito. I’ve definitely eaten more burritos in it then I’ve slept in it lol. Also a good watch tower for my bird dog

Any reason to have a burrito is a solid reason in my book.

Especially when you have a dog by your side. (Although mine would be trying to snake my burrito)

I loaded a ton of lumber 8’’ and 10’ as well as sheets.of plywood on top when I was building my basement. I have three Yakima HD bars and it held it great. Makes plywood purchases easy beats a 5’ bed.

I use my GFC mostly just as a shell and for protecting my dog boxes. The GFC is light enough that it doesn’t hamper pulling my 21’ trailer for extended trips in cold or windy weather. I am trying for versatility so have not gone the dedicated overland build direction, but added a Decked drawer system and built a power distribution panel so that I can run accessories as needed. I can easily pull the dog boxes out and use it for whatever you’d normally use a pickup for. The popup tent is useful for side trips or for times when I want to pull my boat trailer and easily stay overnight, mostly in Spring or Summer. Cheers.
