Spotted a beige 26ft (I think) GMC from D.C. Metro train. It was a bit north of van dorn station in a yard about 200 yards west from the tracks........
My first sight of one in the wild........

Did it look neglected? I'll have to go check it out if I'm up in the area.

I'm pretty sure it's a 26 but only saw it for a few seconds and by the time I got over the exitement of seeing it .....we were past. Going back in tomorrow, so will have a look again to see if it's still there and try to work out exactly where it is.

front passenger window (the front seat area) its a 23'

Pete,
I lived in Alexandria, VA, through July of last year and took the Blue Line past that storage facility daily. I was contemplating buying a GMC motorhome and thought about storing it there. The GMCs you've spotted are new additions to the yard, at least since July 2015, as I never saw them from the train.

Pete,
I stand corrected - just noted your research done on Google Earth, showing they've been there for a while. I'm disappointed that I never spotted the GMCs from Metro...might have bought one! Good luck finding out more about them.
