There’s always going to be something better …6 million dollar man…blah blah blah
Buy what suits your needs. I own a GFC, I like my GFC. I looked at other platforms, and ultimately decided to go with a lean camper that I could still use as a truck all week. I waited a year to pull the trigger and then another 15 months to pick it up. I also had plenty of time to be concerned about the expenditure I was going to make but still went with the GFC even knowing there were possible issues. My panels failed - sucks, but they did. GFC drove to me and fixed them. I could’ve complained on here or any other forum but I didn’t because they made a commitment to fix it long before mine even failed.
There are a million neat and creative ways build your truck out if you want to - at that point one should be looking at the economy of the purchase. If you want comfort - buy something that is intended to be comfortable, if you want all the bells and whistles, buy something that is built to install the bells and whistles, or even better - buy something with the bells and whistles. This platform is intended to be a tent on a camper. An expensive one, but that’s what it is. It’s still less expensive than the other options.
V1, V2, V3 - whatever. I don’t know many people that can afford to swap these things out every year like a phone so again, buy what suits your end goal.
The choices available are growing every day which as was noted before, is great for us - good thing that the market is hot - if you don’t want to go through with it, you can sell your spot and get on another company’s waiting list for a year.
just my 25 cents. see this thread regarding mattress comfort and solutions if needed Camper Mattress!
