As a Gamecock, that would make a tempting game day ultimate tailgater with a slight color change to the stripe 
... and with some bigger screens and a sat tv hookup

Honestly, that is what the odometer reads...

Judging by the color stripe and location, my bet is a MSU tailgating vehicle for someone with a lot of friends.

I once saw a 23 that was done out similar, leaving a bathroom and sink and refrigerator, but the captains chairs faced forward and only along the windows. I think there were 4 rows behind the driver and 2 after the door on the passenger side. So it sat 8 total. Bathroom in the back and the fridge had been moved as well. If I saw that again, still nice, for a price like this one, my wife wouldn't be driving a honda minivan for the family and we'd be a 2 gmc family...

Jeremy: you might want to consider something like this. The way you are going the next round should be triplets.

I read that and had some chills run down my spine. No thanks! We are done. Even my wife, who absolutely loves children, is being pushed with our 3 little ones. Annie was a very easy toddler. The twins are much more like little exhausting wrecking balls.
That being said, even with our family of 5, if that 23 footer rolled around I'd consider it. It's a hassle to get everyone buckled in, carry the gear we need, and it gets really irritating when we have to get people into the backrow with 3 carseats blocking any easy way of doing it. We don't put enough miles on the minivan to have the gas be a huge issue either. Of course, getting in and out of the garage wouldn't have worked as well!
That ship, has sailed, as has the chance for more kids. But thanks Chuck for running those chills down my spine this a.m.!

Deja-vous... My friend Wally said the same thing. We spent 9 days at Daytona bike week one year and came home and he leaped a tubular.

Just to confirm what Dan said, when people join GMCMI one of the questions on the application form is the mileage of the vehicle.
I have seen several GMCs for sale that show, for example, 45,000 original miles but when checking the TZE number on the GMCMI registrations I usually see that 15 years ago the motorhome was registered with 85,000 miles. This is very common for sellers to understate the miles.
If someone has the TZE number we can look it up to see if it was once, or currently registered as a member of the GMCMI club and check the previous mileage listed for you.

> As 95% of us on here realize, "original miles" under 100k is just not happening, very often. I see lots of new folks on the Facebook page buying into the "original" odometer readings. That kind of bothers me. This one may be "original miles" but why has the engine been rebuilt? The original engines in these things often ran way over 100k. I have known at least one that got 300k on his with only valve jobs. That said, I bought a new Ford in '77. Got 82k on the original engine. So, who knows? Buyer beware.

Emery, I am not a member of GMCMI yet, but was wondering if my coach could be checked and see if there is a record on it?
Thanks Joe
