Hi Again Al G.:
Just so you know - I don't necessarily agree w/ Matt Colie who says think twice before owning a GMC MH if you are not a mechanic!
My advice would be: Be careful to buy a good one, expect to maintain it very well, be prepared for the worst, and pray for the best.
For instance I am not a mechanic nor an electrical guy - I do carry a few basic tools and can follow simple wrenching instructions.
My phone and the Blacklist are my safety nets. For instance - my phone contains the numbers of 25 mechanics who are familiar w/ GMC's around the country and 5 GMC Olds engine rebuilders around the country.
I don't hesitate to go - would head out for Alaska tomorrow in either of my two "ready to roll" GMC's. In approx'y 70,000 GMC miles over 5 years, I have had to ride the hook (be towed) twice and been stranded overnite (one nite) at an R V Park twice.
Thanks to fellow GMC'ers and the Blacklist, I am confident I will get where I intend to go. Will I get a surprise one day - of course - but "Life is an Adventure" and I intend to enjoy it.
After all I am retired and if I get delayed a day or two - God must have had a different plan for me during those days.
There are many of us GMCers who travel in faith and enjoy life doing so.
I also am a believer in having good insurance to cover possible disasters. 1st time around I thought I had the right insurance - turned out they only covered $250.00 per occurrence - not near enough!!! My 62 mile ride on the hook to my mechanic's house cost me $1,290.00 - always ask for a rate per the mile - do not accept a "we will bill you at the end of the trip" deal. Fellow GMCers in your area can tell you which Insurance Companies have treated them right.
My attitude is "you only live once and you better enjoy it". To each his own and I don't force or expect others to see it my way.
Enjoy!!!
