This GMC was the focus of a magazine article a while back. Can anyone
remember when and what publication it was in? I think it was FMCA Magazine
but cannot find it in their archives. Any help or link(s) would be
appreciated.

Thanks

I saw that GMC at the Motorhome museum and it's very well done. I'm not a fan of the speedboat interiors with neon wine glass cabinets, but I could see someone liking it. It's just cold and impersonal IMHO. I also don't like the layout, way too much emphasis on the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. I want a nice bed and a comfy place to sit, talk and party. Laundry? Please, I'm camping, I'll be wearing flip flops and one ratty old pair of shorts and grillin on the barbie most of the time.


But I am kinda a low class bubba LOL

There actually IS one similarity between XF-15 and my "Money Pit." Both use the exact same entry aid!

The second hand report I got was that the Prices hated the way it drive so
much was why they donated it to the museum. With weight reported
as 14,000#+ and all that stuff on top, probably even Alex couldn't
hav helped it.

Ken,

That's interesting. At Dothan a rep from the company that built it was there and after seeing how it was laid out I asked him if
they were aware of the max side to side weight limit differences and he said yes.
