Just saw GFCs social announcement for a June 18 release. So far it looks like new/upgraded latches. What else could we be expecting… 
Cool!
Looking forward to it!
Video just dropped! In You Tube. Link came in an email this morning. Lots of awesome upgrades! Congratulations to GFC on excellent customer responsiveness and thoughtful design upgrades. Mine won’t be ready for a couple of months but I will definitely change my order to the fabulous upgrades. Thank you GFC. Looks like a home run!

So where do we find out about the latches?
Is it going to be on the site as an upgrade option eventually?

Anyone else planning on changing their tent color when they upgrade? I think it’s time for me to move from Stone Grey to the bright orange…

I was thinking about the same. Probably won’t though. Hell I don’t know.

I just told my wife today maybe we should try orange. I like to lay low, but the dang orange keeps drawing me in.

That was my reasoning, too. But as it turns out, everywhere I camp, it’s really obvious that I’m camping, so it’s not a big help that way. When I sleep stealth, it’s with the tent closed - and that works well enough.
Also for me in SoCal, even when closed, the GFC is a people magnet, and to be honest I kinda love demoing it to people and showing people how it works. Nothing stealth about that, either.
So in the end, I’m going to try an orange tent in person again soon and make up my mind.

That orange do be looking sweet in everyone’s photos, I just wonder about light leaking through. I do like to sleep in occasionally.
No upgraded latches…bummer.
Love my orange

I’ve never understood the stealth reasoning. Like I’m either out in blm with no around or I’m in a campground. The tent sticks up so high in the air I think it sticks out regardless of color! I love the orange.

I have been emailing with GFC about the v2 pro tent upgrade, but haven’t gotten a straight answer:
If we go ahead and buy the tent upgrade we have the choice of it shipping to us as a DIY kit or having it installed at one of the shops.
With the DIY upgrade my biggest concern is getting the 3M 4411B Extreme Sealing Tape off around the edges of the roof, does anyone have any experience with this and/or heard from GFC about the best way to do this?
I had the same question, GFC rep said it’s easy to just scrap it off. Didn’t know if the upgrade came with more tape. The installation video doesn’t include removing the tape.
Heh, I asked for the part number of this tape and didn’t get it (no harm no foul). So instead I called a rep at a 3M converter, described it, got the part number, then bought a roll on eBay. ezpz
It’s hella expensive and not available in small quantities. If it must be removed it to replace the tent, it should probably come with the kit. Been a minute since I saw a tent replacement video, does the roof really need to be removed?
I think the install video showed removing the roof to install the new tent, but yes as stated before by Pete, the install video posted on their site is older before they implemented the tape around the edge.
