Hello GMC.net-ers,
My name is Glenn Gardner.
My wife, Elaine & I, are in our mid fifties and live in Miami Florida.
We recently bought our very first GMC motorhome about six weeks ago.
It is a 1976 Royale - transmode (by Coachman) TZE366V100733
We spent the first 4 weeks replacing things that may have been too old to be road worthy. Fuel pump, water pump, alternator, rebuilt our carburetor,belts, hoses, and a few other little things.
We had some pretty bad leaks in the roof & windows, but have filled them with 3M marine 5200 adhesive, and we are now dry on the inside.
Overall, we feel, the previous owner took pretty good care of it.
We made our maiden voyage a couple weeks ago on memorial day weekend.
It was a 400 mile round trip and we "dry camped" at a lake in mid Florida for two days. On our way up the state (Florida) we made a stop at Alex Sirum GMC in Okeechobee, and met Jeff & Norma. They were so very nice to us and made us feel welcome to the GMC community.
They put "Scooby Doo" (GMC vehicle name) up on the lift and gave it the once over. Found a few small issues, but gave it a road worthy thumbs up.
We continued on our way and had a wonderful weekend in our new home away from home.
The reason I am writing today on the forum (I have been lurking every day for 6 weeks), is to thank you all, for all the stuff that has been, and currently being written about this wonderful vehicle.
At the time we purchased it, we had no idea of all the support that is available out there. It is a good feeling to know that you all come together to support one another, and I do hope that one day, I too can be of help to someone else.
I took a bunch of photos of the interior, but have not had much of an opportunity to take some of the exterior, since it has only been out of the back yard once.
Here is a link to some photos : Scooby Doo
So for now, thanks again for all the information and we look forward to meeting others that share a passion for this very cool and wonderful machine.
Sincerely,
Glenn & Elaine Gardner
