I regret that I must sell my beloved Palm Beach. If anyone is looking for a good coach, this one is a keeper. With your guy's help I have repaired, restored and upgraded nearly everything from bumper to bumper including new bumpers. It shows well, drives well and everything works.
Thank you guys for all your help. If you know someone who is looking, please forward this info and see a detailed description in the Swap Meet section. Located in Texas, call me at 360-213-6035 for all details or send an email for photos. I still haven't figured out how to post photos here but will be happy to forward over a dozen pix.
I've restored this coach with loving care and with the intent to keep but now must sell. My asking price is greatly reduced for a quick sale. Way above average condition.

im interested, send pictures to bd5av8r (@gmail.com) if you wish. I am trying to find a GMC thanks! I had been looking at "budget" ones, but realize I may have to set my sights up higher on the price scale to get a better coach.

Sammy,
It is probably worth your while to do that, particularly if you are not real good a completing major mechanical and electrical projects on your own.
You may not have been reading this group for very long, but if you had, you would have read that a decent, dependable usable coach is about 20K (we used to say 25, but the market is dead). You can spend that in little pieces or all at once - Your choice.
There are lots of stories here about those that got "budget" coaches and spent large amounts of money and time. Some even worked for years only to give up.

Wow! Small world. I had one of the first BD5 kits. The company went broke before I got all the parts. I sold what I had to another pilot. Don't know if it ever got finished.

By the way, I wanted to add that I just last month drove this coach 2200 miles without major incident. I had to install a new alternator within the first ten miles of my trip but then it was smooth sailing the rest of the way. Also missing from the long list of new and rebuilt components is a rebuilt steering box that makes driving effortless.
