Watching this week-end's RVtravel newsletter, they had a link to a video on the GMC Motorhome. Very well done and I learned a few things. Opening still shot showed an artist's drawing of a GMC set up for handicap use. Great photos and information.

That video has been making the rounds lately. It's a great video unless you know the story told is not complete and is inaccurate.
This same video is on the GMCMI web site, under "videos" and it bugged me because it didn't tell the complete/correct story on the cause of the discontinuance of the GMC MotorHome. Hint; it was not the "bean counters" that did it in. The correction was sent to Kim W a week or so ago and it doesn't appear to be posted yet unless I missed it. Give her a chance to post it and check back.
By the way, the drawing of the handicapped GMC (known in the drawing as a "convience Coach" is one of 12 drawings back in the early days when GMC wasn't sure where the market might be. Some of the other designs were bank, post office, bus, clean room, etc.
