Does anyone have a list of all the modifications Jim made to his coach?
It would be interesting reading. I met him once in Colorado but was busy
talking rather than taking notes <g>

Just wondering...He used his coach year round in all kinds of weather.

Believe a number of his changes were published in Motorhome Marketplace. Don't remember which issue (s) without a great deal of digging :^)

It is not that cold here. I spent all afternoon pressure washing my hangar. I'm going back tomorrow to finish the job.

The hangar is not heated and I was pressure washing the outside. I finished the job today. In the winter it is just as cold inside as it is outside. The only difference you are inside out of the wind and weather.

A list of his mods was handed out at the last GMCMI Amana rally (08?). I have a copy but was not able to find it when I went looking for it. Perhaps someone else can find it.

Emery,
My wife and I purchased a 1976 Palm Beach on November 21 of this year. We
picked the coach up in Minneapolis and drove straight thru to Colorado with
mid 20's temp. A lot of cold drafts and very little heat was generated
through the dash. The blower motor was working but very little air flow
was produced. The highlight of the drive was to gas up so we could go
inside to warm up.
Yes, I most definitely would like a copy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen Jim Ansetett name appear in any of the topics so I don't
know how active he is about GMCs as he only lives 15+ miles away from me.
