Hello to you all,
A short introduction of my person, and why I love it reading and looking into this forum.
My name is Daniel, and I live in the Netherlands, so I am Dutch, build: 1952, and a retired Fysical Therapist. I still know like yesterday the first time I layed eyes on a new GMC in 1975, as it was on sale, for the first time here nearby .... WHOWwwww ... and I still have that same WHOWwww feeling ever since.
But things go how they go, and since they had to be imported, the extra taxes and so on, we simply couldn't affort one, NO WAY ...
Starting a career, not so much money, and a little caravan was all what was possible after a while ... 
But the Motorhome-virus struck me and as time went by a little "Bergland C-Class Motorhome" build on a cuttaway chassis of Peugeot, after 11 years a Buerstner, a french build Pilote, now a Hymer let's us drive all over Europe (the last three, all B-Class Types)
In 2014 we made our first trip to the US and rented a Road Bear C-Class MH for a month, we loved the journey to the West Coast, and back at home, did within a few months book our next journey, 2015, bringing a factory-new Cruise America MH from Chicago to SF. Route 66, Nat. Parks Las Vegas, Death Valley, Reno, Sacramento and so to SF.
And had I know that Applied was so nearby the drop-off station of Cruise America in the SF Area, I would had visited it !! Now I know that .... #@#$%$$#* Missed chance!
But since last year slowly the GMC-virus came back like an (good)illness and getting under my skin, so I looked and searched the web, and fell of my chair, what a wunderfull and astonishing community you have, helping and advising each other.
I am enjoying reading about and looking at all those pictures, youtube-videos etc.
And since we are, again visiting, the US and Canada, this year, now in june, making a 4 week trip from Calgary to Calgary, going to Banff, Jasper, Vancouver, Seattle, Spokane, Grand teton, Yellowstone and so back to Calgary, I hope to see some of the Great Motorhome Coaches, we all call GMC !!
Perhaps there is even some place on the trip, were you could point us at a GMC-to-Musthave-Seen ...
Our plans, like friends of us doing right now, is bringing our MH to the US and Canada and travel with it for half a year there, or even buying a GMC, letting it in the US or Canada, in storage and using it for the months we can come and travel, your wonderfull countries. The way I did read some members here do it also ?
But for now I am already exited and glad we can, again, hopefully make a nice trip.
Thanks to you all for keeping up the GMCMH-Flag so high.
Bye, Daniel
