Hi all -
Woohoo, after many years of wanting a GMC, we pulled the trigger and bought a beautiful 76 Royale rear bath unit from a great, great guy, the Dutchman, in Allentown PA! We went with the rear bath unit as we felt it was better suited to house the children in the middle of the coach during trips rather than in the way back of a mid bath unit. I actually bought it with another guy, whom we are great friends. We figured this would be a good way to travel together as two families and a great way to cut our costs of ownership in half, get into the hobby at a more reasonable pace, etc....
So, one of the first things we were looking into is putting some lap belts on the rear benches, basically just to keep them planted in case of a bad accident. Our Royale has wooden bench/beds on either side. My thinking is to get them attached into that main horizontal waist beam that runs the full length of the coach. Has anyone had any experience in doing anything remotely similar and have any pointers?
Also, thinking while I am at it, it would make sense to put a 3 point seatbelts up front. Has anyone done this and have a good resource for belts and tips there as well?
So looking forward to many years of motoring in my new coach and thanks in advance to any advice you can offer!
