I have found in my area several muffler shops that use a lift that will fit
a GMC. The 23' really fits but the 26' will just fit. The shop will usually
do other work and help you do anything under the coach that you want. And a
5 gallon can with a hose to the fuel pump moves your coach on and off and
back home while you refurbish the tanks.
Easy peasey.

Thanks Jim, you are absolutely right.
Acquiring a GMC was the 'last straw' for me and automotive work. The house
we bought 30+ years ago had (and still has) a gravel driveway and the only
solid flat surface is inside the garage which has filled itself with machine
tools and left not enough room for even our miniscule Honda Fit.
What work I could do on cars was done on my back on a creeper on the gravel
- and the creeper wheels don't turn worth a darn on that stuff. I'd had
enough 'fun' for a lifetime and when the Eleganza and then Birchaven came
along with the low ground clearance and the inventory of under vehicle
'fixes' needed, I made a business decision to splurge a bit on a lift. There
wasn't one available for rent or borrow locally that would handle the
weight/length configuration of the GMC, nor be sufficiently available /
accessible to fit my schedule. (I design, develop and prototype electronic
and electro-mechanical apparatus and having my own 'quick turn' facility is
definitely a business asset.)
The checking account was slightly overweight for a (pleasant) change and the
concrete pad plus the lift plus a rolling jack accessory were within my
budget. The shop/storage building to house them will come later. I hope.
Thanks again,
Stu
