What have you done to your GFC this week

Did the window mod. Came out to around $25 per window. I listed what I used in my build thread.

I went ahead and bought these Devils Tongue Hook. Looking forward to a simple awning set-up

Awesome thank you!!! I am working on a way to develop a kit for this. including the Hooks, a tarp, guy lines and two poles. If I can bundle it for a good price, I will start to produce some. My goal is to give options to those of us with smaller wallets and also provide high quality and great customer service.

This week we unloaded the two-room en-suite from the gear pile & installed this nice little shower stall. The GFC brackets win again!

Thanks @jedgar for a horizontal StepUp for my Dometic faucet. Super easy install.

Special thanks to @dfinn for the inspiration.

@jedgar can you quit making cool shit man? I was just trying to figure out something similar for the Dometic water head.

I love my Claymore V600 fan but I have always used the fan’s pedestal - occasionally kicking it over in the middle of the night. No more! Thanks to @Rancho at Lumbering Bear Adventure Gear. He has a lot of great 3D printed components. I used 2x “Percha” hangers and a Nite Ize CamJam to devise a “ceiling fan” set up. It’s perfect.

I also added some Twist Loc Lantern Hangers and a Lumos Light Kit (also from @Rancho) as I continue to debate my permanent lighting set up.

Added interior extrusion rails for accessory and gear mounting. The plan with these is that I can add hooks/carabiners to the t-track for hats/helmets/bags as well as providing versatile mounting locations for future additions such as custom MOLLE panels or other gear mounting options.

That is freakin’ brilliant!!! I instantly thought of a way to use that idea to attach an inner tent with vinyl window :thinking:. I do love my winter cabana mode, but…I do love being warm…

Great work!

Could you like like a ram mount into this also? Link to the rail?

Anything you can attach to an 8020-style t-track would work. This uses the factory wellnuts, so total weight carrying capacity is still pretty limited.

That’s just awesome man!! Just what I needed to see on a Monday morning!! I am really glad you find them useful.

Great Idea! I could probably easily adapt a few of my designs to fit the 80/20 t-slot using hardware.

I setup my molle pannel hooks and the hooks on the banana arms by the rear this weekend while out camping. Both working fantastic!

Glad to hear it!! I have been using the MOLLE panel hooks to hang my Helmet and camelback. I am going to hang the minimal recovery gear I have to give myself some more drawer space.

Awesome. Twist locks were great for hanging lifejackets to dry after paddling the river Saturday too. Keep stuff out of the dirt!

For the moment it’s just using the wellnuts. I agree that you would not want to hang any significant load from these. I did spend 4 months with 3 sets of skis (~30 lbs) on my custom rack with load distributed across the 4x wellnuts and that held up fine. I have considered swapping them out for rivnuts, but I havent committed to buying tools just to do 14 rivets and am unsure if there is some design intent by GFC to limit the load users apply to the extrusion walls by selecting wellnuts for the design instead.

IMO the interior mounting options in the shell space are the weakest link in the mostly well thought out design of the Platform camper. I haven’t seen one in person, but it looks like the design has been updated in the Topper only, and looks to be much improved. I’m not sure why this hasn’t been rolled into Platform campers.

Not exactly something I did TO my GFC but definitely something I did BECAUSE of my GFC.

Installed a stiffer/adjustable sway bar. No more fear of whiplash when pulling out of driveways.

Highly recommend.
