I bought the 23' GMC in April '98 to drive to Alaska (instead of the '97
Safari 40' diesel pusher we already owned) -- that summer. Catastrophic
engine failure on the way home from Texas with it, plus complete interior
renovation, plus construction of a retirement home for my folks, delayed
the 12,000 mile trip to Alaska (including ferry up) until 2000.

Since then we've used it for MANY Dixielanders and Sunshine Statesmen
rallies and about half of the GMCMI conventions. Including that in Santa
Rosa, CA. Many shorter individual trips capped with the t month, 10,000
mile, trip to Vancouver Island, etc., and back this summer. The first 1
month plus of that as with my 16 yo grandson, and the final 2 months with
HER. Hard to beat that experience.

When not USING the GMC, I'm usually working on it, either out of necessity
or simply to incorporate some new idea, whether my own or someone else's.
Who can match 3 each Olds 455 engine changes and 3 each Cad 500 engine
changes in one GMC in 15 years? Some necessary, others "for fun". :-)

Even SHE's learned to accept whatever occurs as part of the adventure.
(Can't say she really enjoyed the 3 mile trip to town pushing the GMC with
the Honda CRV though.)

Neither of us misses the 40 footer at all.
