I'm selling my 1978 Kingsley as we bought a cottage and don't have time for cruising anymore.
See ad here - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rvs/1742165883.html

Thanks

Not that you asked but i thought i'd offer an opinion that may be helpful and stimulate discussion;

$10,500 is a lot of money for a 32 year-old motohome. The average Winnebago from that year is going for $100/ton.

Your ad only reaches people who know what a GMC is.

you don't mention front wheel drive, aluminum construction, low profile, better performance, etc.

So, i'm a potential buyer and my budget is $10-12K. I have to look at conventional coaches from the mid-90s.

Nothing but stick-n-staple pieces-0'crap.

And anything i get is going to depreciate faster than it burns gasoline (at 6-7 MPG)

But if i saw your listing and something in it made me understand why that coach is worth so much, and help me get my wife past the orange interior, i might be enlightened.

So, with a little buyer education in your ad you might spawn a new GMCer.

Good luck.

Also, if you don't have any luck i will be happy to host photos on my web server at no charge. as many pictures as you can send me, i'll put them in a neat photo page.

Thanks.
SOLD
This was a great coach and I'm filled w/ buyer's remorse, but there's only so many months in a year and I didn't want it to sit and rot.
This is a great forum and really helps owners make the best of their coaches with crowd source input and just a little controversy...
Thank you all.
