Made some flannel fitted sheets with my Mom. What an improvement.

The step up is in my top 5 mods. GF would have to agree as well lol.

Installed a sleek solar/battery fan. No wiring and has an internal battery so it’ll run +/- 8 hours. Virtually no noise and functions both intake and exhaust functions.

Cut out the hole and set the unit via a couple beads of silicone. Going to tidy up with a tight bead at the base once it cools down a little.

I was thinking about doing something like this (specifically, I wanted to source the fan unit from a James Barroud tent). But, I’m wondering if it would keep heavy rain/snow from coming through, when the tent is up at an angle.

I’ll look forward to a report after camping in the rain.

Nice fix! I am looking at possibly doing something like this…

The absolutely biggest pitfall of the GFC is the lack of ventilation and the tent design in terms of the window layout (no full zip windows). I hope the owners and the engineers can come to an agreement that this needs to be fixed in a v3 or upgrade version of the tent.

There’s a thread over here with some more info. I posted a video in there spraying water right on to the vent with the tent open.

Finally got around to upgrading the latches and installing the covers.

Added a thin black ripstop tarp to the bed. Lets me hide the contents. Velcro attaches it to the spaceframe.

Standard C2 latches work great, just need a set of Latch covers for them :wink:

Thanks, Dude!

I did it to mine @Trudog and it is well worth it. Huge upgrade in usability and quality. Not sure if anyone has done it with a V1 yet so the cut measurements in the post may not line up with your strike plates.

I have the covers and yes its a V1, however the GFC has been in the garage for almost a year now without use due to an incident that left me with 68% burns…getting it back on the trails is part of the recover process!
