This seems like as awesome product!! 2 things I would want as a consumer though. 1. Opening, screened windows on the topper for really bad/cold weather or stealth camping situations, so there’s stealthy air flow options. 2. An option for heavier duty hydraulics so someone could load up the roof rack with more than 75 pounds and open it, then add some strut lockouts to keep it in place in heavy snow situation. That extra storage would be an insane and unmatched addition in the market. I’m sure the trade off of base weight for functional payload capacity would quickly become a very popular option. Love what you guys are doing and can’t wait to get one!!! God bless

This sparks a question: How much weight can the roof sustain when in the closed position? Could I have like 3-4 ~175lb friends stand on top or sit on chairs kinda like a rooftop deck?

Will the V2 Drip Rail work with the Rivian specific fairing / low mounting? Does the fairing help at all with the water run off? I have a preorder for the Rivian camper but want to get in on the sale price of the V2 Drip Rail.

How do you access the tailgate button?

Accessible from both inside and outside the camper. Tailgate button protrudes through the side panel above the bedrail and also has an interior release mechanism.

@@GFC I own a R1T. To not buy the truck over a non-mandatory $150/yr unlimited hotspot connection seems about par for the internet. As stated in the previous comment, you can tether your phone and get full functionality for zero additional cost if it's really a dealbreaker. Nice job guys on the new design. We have a GFC on our Tundra and love it. Cool to know we could go GFC in the future on the R1T as well.

That's a smidge better than the ~10-11% range hit of the GFC on my '22 F150 Ford Lightning. That GFC was originally on a regular '21 F150 But I got a bigger fairing, from Colorado Fairings, to have more angle over the bigger gap. Either way it's fine. I love my smooth quiet clean electric truck, and love my GFC on it!

Is this lowered roofline an option for a Tundra? That could be the make or break of clearing into my garage 😬
@GFC8 күн бұрын
Because the tundra is a body on frame, there is a lot more frame flex that requires adding clearance between the cab and camper. Especially the 2nd generation trucks.

I understand why you used Conserve Mode for this test, but it's worth noting that Conserve Mode is not recommended for regular use due to traction issues (FWD only) and the potential for accelerated tire wear (regen only on front axle, and if also in low ride height, increased negative camber). That said, the ~10% range reduction is likely the same across all modes, not just Conserve :)
@GFC8 күн бұрын
We did run it at standard height, but anticipate the aerodynamics having consistent impact across all drive modes. Except rock crawl 🤓
@dominicwilkerson8 күн бұрын
hmm. I don't drive on conserve. I wonder what it will be like on all purpose.
@GFC8 күн бұрын
We would anticipate it would be the identical results in every mode but rock crawl, cause below 25mph we don’t anticipate seeing much impact at all

Typically campers are not tied in/mounted with the bed AND cab to allow for flex. Are the Rivians ridged enough (guessing the battery?) that there is no bed flex to worry about?
@gmjsomeone548 күн бұрын
If you look closely at the Rivian, the bed is actually not separate from the cab like a typical truck. The entire body is one giant piece
@GFC8 күн бұрын
It’s a unibody construction which effectively eliminates the torsional flex as well as the frame beaming 🤝

Every year I get out to camp, it’s such a debacle, setting up camp, tent etc really eats up valuable time and I always wish I had everything with me so many times when we head out from camp. Camp should be wherever you go. We will primarily be Colorado and the southwest. Looking forward to joining the family.

I'm still confused after looking at the site and these videos.....the V2 Pro is the new camper or topper? Or both? Are they sold separately? When I try to do the build and price it seems it only gives options for the tent part and not the topper. Can't choose any of the options for the topper part. Also, I think the answer to this is a no, but the product is incompatible with a roof/cab rack like Prisnu I'm assumeing?

A quick summary of a gladiator suspension setup would be great. I’m currently running a Smartcap and bedslide and ran into some big issues with sag. I’m very interested in switching over to a GFC camper… if only the installs weren’t booking for December…. brrrrrr 🥶. I’m in Canada and driving down to MT can be a bit of a crapshoot that time of year.
