Rich,
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum....
There are very few choices, but the one that seems to fit best is a Suburban. There are some issues you should be aware of, nobody makes models for the GMC sloped side. You can buy them adapted from our regular suppliers, or, you can build a sloped section of floor to make it square to the coach side. Or, even do that adaptation yourself. What ever, it will need new side penetrations.
There is also the issue of your geographic location and the specific coach year, model and mods that we suggest people put in a sigfile so it is always there. This matters because if your use is not ever in cold, someone has redone the insulation, or other factor, the 25K may not be the best choice. I put a 25K in my 23 because I could get it faster than a 20 like I took out, but I should have ordered a 16K and saved the space.
It looks like you are reading this as e-mail, so that is a little more difficult. Depending on your mail client, it should still not be all that tough to do.
I am glad you found your way here. This is a special community. It is made up of supportive and helping people that really want to see to it that you enjoy your coach and the freedom it brings you as much as we all have. As the only other like it that I know of is that of the watermen that are my world, I have taken to welcoming new owners here much as any new owner or vessel is welcomed there. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.
Welcome Rich
Matt

Can I get some model numbers? I saw a just out of production Attwood furnace that has a coaxial vent so that a single new hole would be needed, and is a little smaller than some Suburban models.
We have owned our coach since last October. I was bitten by the GMC bug in 1977 when I drove one that a friend had rented..... Only took 40 yrs to buy one. I guess that puts me in the 'closet member' of the asylum.
