Our GFC install on '23 XLT at Apex Overland. We drove from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to North Carolina as they were the closest dealer.

For other Canadian/Cold Climate GFC owners you may want to find a set of aftermarket latch covers to keep your back and side panel locks from freezing. We found ours on Etsy.

Congrats! Love the campers.

Fellow Canadian here. Nice camper!
How was the mpg (or L/100km) on the way home? I’ve been interested in the GFC as well. Thanks!

Hi.
It did surprisingly well. Only minimal loss of mpg. Did get some rocking from side winds though, but now accustomed to it. Pretty small package and fits in most underground garages. It is also short enough to clear snow from top of camper! If you decide to get one, message us and we can give a reference discount that benefits both of us. Cheers!

Will do thanks! For now I’ve got one of these but have always liked the looks of the GFC.

I wanted one of these, unfortunately the 50" wide bed was a bit too small.

So rad. Love the way these look and function - kinda wish I had the use for one!

interested to know more about your camper please

It’s a Taxa Tiger Moth.

Bought it barely used for a decent price. After 30+ years of tenting decided it was time to move off the ground.
Basically a hard sided sleeping enclosure. Light weight and works for us. Awning and screen room off the back make it very useable.

These Taxa units are great! We could not find one in Ontario...!

VANVLEET · Dec 19, 2023

Lucked out and found one locally on Facebook Marketplace.
Been very happy with it. Originally towed with Subaru Outback and decided that CVT was not optimal for towing and that’s why we bought the EcoBoost Mav.

We traded a 2018 Outback on our Maverick...
