I have read with interest the comments on our 40 year old Motor Homes.
Society has been designing and building things from time immemorial to man and every now and then a classic comes to the fore. Think of the Parthenon completed in 430 BC and the classic orders of architecture, the Barcelona chair (1929), Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and there are many others. When one looks at these you see form and function perfectly integrated. Styles change but style does not.
Our coaches fall well within this category. Well designed and well executed and as we tinker with some of the technical items they will keep on giving us great service.

I agree. Having been involved in the Design business since 1965 there are a
few auto designs that rate high and the GMC Classic MH is one. The other
drive I have is a 1969 Avanti also a classic.
Just home from our Cascaders Rally. Plan to join us late May in
Willsonville for our Route 66 kick off rally.
