Hey guys, first post here. My name is Grant Willbanks. I recently got my GFC used from my buddy, @Thomas. Wanted to share my interior camper build. I have a full detailed video here you can watch.

I’d post more photos, but since I’m a new user, I can only upload 1. The base of the build centers around my Decked system and how I modified it to work perfectly with the camper. Again, if you watch my video you can get more detail, but basically I cut out the useless skinny driver’s side drawer. To my knowledge, I was the first person to ever do this to a Decked system. My truck was in the Backwoods Adventure Mods/GFC booth at Expo West and the Decked dudes loved it. Pretty funny.
MODIFIED DECKED SYSTEM & FLOOR
I didn’t just cut the drawer system perfectly in half, because I wanted to retain some shelving as well as rigidity to the rest of the system. Basically, I wanted to create a walkway that gave me more space to get in and out of the camper. The Decked system is basically a foot tall, and squeezing into the camper would have been tough with that still in place. I removed the driver side of the Decked, marked and cut the floor to my liking while retaining the ammo can and some space by the cab, and I also shaved down some of the plastic inner structure to give me more room since a drawer wasn’t needed anymore. Finally I finished the edges with some angled aluminum. For the floor, I cut out a 3/4" piece of plywood and used spray adhesive to glue some rubber coin flooring to it. Makes for a nice floor to stand on barefoot and is easy to wipe out and clean. I actually gained usable storage by removing this drawer. Love it. The little “shelf” area gives me enough room to sit inside the camper and make coffee or get dressed easily. I’ve made quick dinners while inside the camper when it’s super cold out or early in the morning. Also makes it nice to be able to pee without having to go outside and get cold, lol. I’ll be releasing a video soon on my channel (Part 2 of a Colorado trip) that shows me using the camper a little more.
ACCESSORIES
I have my Dometic CFX 45 fridge bolted to the passenger side floor of the Decked on a tilting Alucab slide. Works like a charm. Behind that, I keep a large Zarges box that I can easily strap down and remove for my step. I have a Goose Gear top plate on the box for added traction and strength. That’s my stool to get in and out of the camper, plus it stores my stove and all dry food. For my batteries I run the EcoFlow River Pro and optional Extra Battery. 1440 watts of power that I have connected to a Sunflare 126w panel on the roof of the camper. It’s adhered with 3M tape. By removing the drawer, I was able to perfectly fit my extra battery in the dead space behind where the drawer used to be. Win. I also have a propane tank mounted on a Quik Fist mount. The molle panel I had made as a one off. In my ammo can I have an onboard air compressor hooked up to the Faster Flate system (also have a separate video on my channel about it). I have air chucks running to both sides of the camper mounted on the bed rails. For the tailgate, I’m running an Al Offroad tailgate insert. This has actual usable cup holders and is way less slick than the plastic Mountain Hatches. The strap bolted to the tailgate is so I can close up the camper when I’m inside it. I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton of stuff, but a lot is explained in the photos.
UPDATE
I have since changed the setup slightly, relocating the propane and having a more open walkway. It’s perfect for my needs, and I’m super stoked on it. I’ll post updated setup photos in here when things change…again. Lol.
and clever use of the Decked.
