Sure, the 410 looks like Midnight Express. But Midnight Express is only a 320. Where's the fun in trying to park something so short??

John,
FYI, a bit of trivia you may or may not be interested in:
Just a little NW of your town, Timmins, ON, is where GM did the cold weather testing on the GMC MH at Kapuskasing, ON, CA.

And here they are...
Model 460
Model A600
Model A755 - Dual motor 4WD quad steering setup with far rear steering assist (on demand).
The A600 and A755 have 60º of articulation in both directions from center. The A600 is the size of your typical articulated bus (60').
Anyone have any ideas as to the internal layout to get the most from these?? The placement of the doors and windows was pretty much random. So, they can be moved and placed as needed to accommodate the interior design.
I read the HTA (Highway Traffic Act), and my understanding of it says that these vehicles ARE legal to drive on Canadian roads. Although, the A600 and A755 would need to be SPIF certified.( SPIF = Safe, Productive, Infrastructure-Friendly). Makes sense to me, it's all about wear and tear on the roads. The more tires we add, the more road friends it would be (and the heavier load we can carry - safely).

I was aware. In fact, Jaguar used to test their cars here in Timmins. I almost got a job to do some of the driving (they had several cars, of course). I was an alternate driver, in case someone else couldn't. They never called, and then I got another job, so... Oh well.
While you got to drive a Jag all day... It was the same course, all the time, every day. Boring.

Presenting the previously unknown proposed models of the GMC Motorhome:
Model 170
...
|
Due to the increased flexing of the boogie arms with shorter wheelbases turning turns, plus the lower weight of a smaller coach, I would go with a single "axle" on the rear of the 17 foot model. It would also reclaim much needed space inside.
Mike Miller -- Hillsboro, OR -- on the Black list
(#2)`78 23' Birchaven Rear Bath -- (#3)`77 23' Birchaven Side Bath
More Sidekicks than GMC's and a late model Malibu called 'Boo'

Your not paying attention to details! GMC's have 8 lug wheels. :lol:M

I did notice that. I pulled that tire/wheel from another project for some quick drawings. If it was only that that was wrong with these drawings...
