Hi everyone, havn’t got a GFC yet but the more and more I’m researching all the different companies, I keep falling back to GFC. One thing I’m seeing from other companies is the ability to have an electric air fan on the roof. I realize GFC doesn’t have this option but the design of the tent vents at the top and bottom are supposed to help mitigate hot/cold airflow. Can anyone speak to this? Is there a noticeable benefit to these vents in the tent? Thanks all!
There’s plenty of folks who have cut holes in the honeycomb roof and installed vent fans. Look up in the forum for examples of those. I noticed some condensation issues in my standard V2 tent but since upgrading to the Pro tent with the improved venting I haven’t had any problems. Granted I live and camp mostly in drier climates. Those that live with more humidity may have different experiences.

The condensation issues that many folks talked about (at least in YouTube reviews that I watched at great length before purchasing) were generally resolved with the v2pro
The redesign for v2 pro tent and the inclusion of the carpet headliner seems to have been gfc taking customer feedback about condensation and providing a fix that largely mitigates the need to cut extra hole in the camper
I haven’t been able to camp a ton of overnights due to family changes, but I’ve spent a ton of 6-8 hour sessions in remote office mode in humid places and have never had any issues with condensation
Occasionally I do want air flow in the rain, I use a $15 rechargeable stroller fan that I made a little track mount for and have it positioned to draw or suck air in through the tent vents
It honestly takes the same amount of time for me to deploy as deploying a max air fan, without the massive hole cutting
The v2 pro has two passive vents at the top corners and the front mini windows have a clever little prop rod that enables air flow without losing privacy
I imagine if you had the full time pass through of the v2 max , or kept the corner out of the transformafloor you could keep the fan mounted full time too

That’s great that the new tent hasn’t posed any issues. I’m in Northern CA so humidity isn’t much of an issue out this way.
Yeah, I would definitely not want to cut into the roof if I didn’t have to.
That’s a lot of great information though, and it sounds like the tent will work just fine without a roof fan installed. Appreciate your input.
