Daniel drives a two-wheel drive 1994 Toyota Pickup with the 22RE. He tells us he enjoys using it to spend evenings by the ocean, and to drive up into the mountains to forage for stuff to cook. He says outdoor cooking became an obsession after getting the GFC.
Daniel’s a self-described “optometrics nerd” who used to work for Apple, and Disney Imagineering. You may recognize him from his work on the 2018 Super Bowl halftime show, the one with Justin Timberlake.
“It might seem strange to daily drive a camper in Los Angeles,” he continues. “But the GFC is a cheat code for the city. It makes an instant, private, comfortable space with a vaulted ceiling.
I can pull off the PCH and have a house in Malibu. I can go visit a friend and make popcorn on the tailgate. I can tear through the canyons and make any pulloff a party spot. With food, water, and solar always at the ready, I know I'll be safe and having fun no matter what comes-even emergencies.”
“I started taking it on lots of one night getaways where I cook rough gourmet-sous vide steaks seared on a campfire with a crude chimichurri, eggs and roasted tomato on sourdough toast, sprinkled with goat cheese-and then I started foraging for sage, herbs, the flavor of southern California,” Daniel explains. “I have had some of the best meals of my life out under that triangulated spaceframe.”
He first saw a GFC when we (illegally) took over a parking lot in Santa Monica during the LA Auto Show last year. “I was pretty excited to climb up in the tent for the first time,” he says. “I think I was in the orange tree fort for all of three seconds before my mind was made up-I had to have one.”
“My work means that I spend most of my life toiling away in very dark rooms on secret things,” says Daniel. “So for fun, I like to get outside.”
Daniel says the best thing about the GFC is, “The incredible sleep I get in the camper-totally unlike my normal sleep.”
