This was an issue that I had some expectations of getting into. Mice chewing wires was a BIG issue that I was very well prepared for. And a fine, and completed job they did. I also expected electric motor issues. That didn't happen. I spent 9 months by myself. In my shop, taking that 78 Royale apart, piece, by piece. Inside, the outside, and the complete bottom to the last bolt. About $38,000 in just parts. Now we've been using it for the last 9 months. And about 5,000 miles. It's PERFECT to our very last dream. But now it's the electrical switches that are popping up with issues. And thanks to Ken Henderson, and Emory Stora. I'm now having my own tech sessions on taking switches apart. So why am I so happy with this GMC. We were able to custom make it into just the exact way Linda, and I always wanted one to be. It's our magic carpet to see our extend family in GMCMI, and Midwest Classics. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale Mouse House

Linda, and I loved our 78 Royale that burned. 38 states. And it never left us to the side of the road. We had things that we wanted to change in it. But a GMC with a side bath creates many limitation issues. We got dealt lemons. So I made lemonade. My main hope now is that if any GMC owners end up with limiting health issues. The rear bath Royale offers the best floor plain to modify. The RB Royale has a very large bath, and closet to start with. As we all get older. ( But not me. RIGHT. ) The bath area becomes more, and more of an issue. And to make our bath area so we had a complete handicap shower, toilet, and sink. Then to add to that. A large linen closet, and cloths hamper. This wasn't difficult or expensive to do. The wheelchair modifications part isn't needed for most. But even that didn't add much expense over all. What did cost. Was that we wanted to have a new 78 Royale with all the items that were on our dream list. And that we got. Was worth every dime.
