While reorganizing and purging my GMC documentation, I ran across a
document which I had not lookedat in several years: "GMC Motorhome
Maintenance and Information Notes" by John N. Engebretsen PE,Engebretsen
Engineering, Copyright 1992 & 1993, Danville, CA.This is an excellent 52
page compendium of GMC information from a variety of sources,
including,apparently,
GMCMI Newsletters, GMC Manuals, rally presentations, personal contributions
from the authorand others. It covers almost every facet of the GMC in
succinct detail, with a lot of hard-to-find referenceinformation and part
numbers (many of which are now obsolete, I fear). It would be useful to
almost anyGMC owner, and invaluable to all newbies.While the cover of the
document bears a copyright notice and a sales price, the copyright was
apparentlynever registered. Since Mr. Engebretsen passed away in 2006, the
unregistered copyright should nowhave no validity, even to benefit his
heirs.It seems to me that distribution of his efforts to the GMC community
is a way to honor him, therefore I’mgoing to offer it up for wide
distribution.In view of the 1993 date, a LOT of the information is
obsolete. Most of the individuals mentioned areeither deceased, no longer
involved with GMC’s, or no longer performing the services mentioned.Similarly,
a lot of the businesses are either no longer involved with GMC’s, or closed
down. Likewise, manyof the products promoted, and the part numbers offered
are no longer available.Despite all that, the narrative can be invaluable
to those just becoming acquainted with the GMC, and willhelp ensure that
all major points of interest are at least addressed.Ken H.11 Nov 2013
Several years ago I came across what I think is one of the best GMCMH
references ever prepared. The note at this link explains that document:
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ai1vXmS6UF0_g4ZVtYj2_0sH5ioSzg
After reading that note, some may be interested in viewing John
Engelbretsen's document; it's here:

The availability of these may be time-limited; they're on One Drive and I'm
not a Premium user, so I can't be sure Microsoft won't shut the links down.

Ken, thanks for making this available. Seems like a lot of our problems have been around for a long time! A trip down memory lane with the names of some of those I knew or knew of.

Great, I didn't know you had it posted. We need the word about it out
there for newbies to learn history anyway. :-)
