If it is cracked [as opposed to broken with pieces missing] heer is what I used to do on used coaches.
Drill out the ends of rthe cracks with 1/8 sharp bit. Score the crack with an sharp awl or probe.
Wipe down with solvent
Find a good quality marine epoxy in white. Mix 50 / 50 and let set up a bit. Apply a small ammout to the length of the crack
Smooth it into the crack and holes with a finger wet with spit. Kent [Speedy 500 was a good solvent to use but cant seem to find it anymore]
After it hardens you can sand and paint with appliance epoxy paint. You mayu need to blend beighe and white to get the tone to match
If you can access the backside easily use the marine epoxy and a layer of fiberglass cloth or mat to reinforce

Eric,
I just now noticed that you are new here.
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.....
First, let me apprise you of a important situation. This is a group of people that all have a very serious agenda. That agenda is to see to it that you get to enjoy both having a GMC and what that coach can do for you. So, Hang On...
You will quickly learn that the coach is not just a new an interesting toy, but it has made you a member of a very special group. This is an amazing collection of helping and supportive people. The only way you can get on the bad side is to ignore them when they are trying to help you. Things like, your location says "Chi" (you can go back in and fix that) but if that is Chicago, you have at least an half a dozen local experts that may show up any time they think you might need assistance. That is just the beginning.
If it is Chicago, plan on attending the GMCMI Fall Convention in Amana. Do what ever you have to do to get there. It will be time and money very well spent.
About all that. As you are running the e-mail side, you can't build a specific sigfile here, but you may be able to in your mail server. That should have your name (you did that), a short about the coach (you were good enough to supply that in the first, but it needs to be in all) and that should include any major mods. And a usable geographic location, I was not kidding about there being help available and they need to know if they are in striking range. This will make easier for both you and us.
While I am not the official welcome person, I do like to make a special welcome. This group is so special and so much like the waternen of my world, that I have taken to passing a welcome that I feel is fitting. It is a paraphrase of that used to welcome a new owner or vessel. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.
Welcome Eric.
