Good morning all. I’ve been lurking here for a few months absorbing as much information as possible. Thank you for providing this wonderful storehouse of knowledge. Three months ago my wife and I bought a 1974 coach in Edmonton, AB. I flew out and drove it home to Niagara about 2500 miles. Had several unplanned stops (large fuel leak, vacuum hose fell off, heater hose failure, dash heat stuck on, multiple exhaust leaks, ...). I was a little naive in trusting the PO when he advertised the coach as needing only fuel to travel across nor5h America.
Somewhat wiser and notably poorer, I’ve fixed many little things and Borrmanns Garage has repaired several large ones (ball joints, wheel bearing, bogie pins, aluminum rad)Last week we went on our first short trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. At the end of the month we’re planning to join the Heritage Cruisers in Goderich.
I recently retired. Have a pretty well equipped workshop and fairly extensive experience with a variety of vehicles (Lotus Elan, Lotus Europa, Porsche 928, 1954 Chev Handyman wagon). The last one is my summer daily driver. However, zero experience or knowledge of the GMC Motorhome so there are many things I will be seeking help with.
I can see this is a very helpful and welcoming group. Thanks for the help.
