I have a page I copied from somewhere in the distant past on adding air conditioning vents ducted from the HVAC Box into the drivers and passengers sides of the GMC. Unfortunately I do not have the name of the author. Also the URL does not bring anything as the diagrams and pictures would be helpful.
http://www.gmcphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=4941
Could not find any reference to it in the GMC Photo gallery.
Anyone remember the author and the information???

Is this the article? If so I may be able to track it down.

"After reviewing a plethora of GMC-Net messages and a number of web sites I decided that the real problem is not cooling capacity but lack
of airflow on the evaporator side of the system."
Thanks Doc
That is the exact same article. I have begun to relocate the windshield washer and radiator overflow tank. Diagrams would be helpful if I can track them down. Sorry I cant give credit to the author as I do not have his name. The link indicates that it is no longer available.

I have my 75 Avion for sale. Yesterday I was getting it ready to show today.
I ran the generator (6kw) and roof A/C for about two hours. This morning I
started the generator and it ran for about a minute. During that time I
noticed the rpm varying for about 15 seconds, then it shut down.
I checked the oil then tried starting the generator again and it starts
okay, but pretty quickly there is a metallic sound and the rpm varies
widely, then it shuts down. The engine seems to run okay and sounds normal
except for the above. Might this be a generator bearing?
I really don't want to spend any money on this generator (which I won't get
out of the sale), so I am taking a shot in the dark here hoping that someone
has an idea for a quick fix.
I have lowered my asking price by $500. I figured that amount should cover
pretty much any diagnostic work and repair that it might need.
Thank you in advance,
Guy Lopes

Guy..
That won't work.. If you don't know what is wrong a prospective buyer surly won't and $500 would not placate that fear of a very large bill.. Diagnose and fix it.. Don't put any more obstacles in a buyers way especially in this market!

Ron,
Thank you for the response and I agree with you. That's why I asked the
question. I probably will have it at least diagnosed soon. The problem is
that I have people coming to look at it.
I just got off of the phone with two new interested parties. They saw that I
disclosed the generator problem on my web site and we discussed the issue at
length. They're still coming to look at it today and tomorrow. Another is
coming on Thursday.
I just wish that I was 2 hours closer to Jim K!!!

I hate to sound silly, but could it be you are just out of gas? Running for a minute, with varying RPM, then shut down sounds like gas issues to me, especially if it ran fine yesterday. Hate to see you get less money, or no sale if it is simple. Clogged fuel filter? Sucking air through a poor gas line?

Um... (smacking myself on the forehead and feeling a little stupid) yes, now
I do seem to remember that I was a little low on fuel. I'll find out in the
morning.
(must... check... the main... tank...)
I'll let you know in the morning if I made a dumb mistake (can I call it an
oversight?).
Thank you Rob for pointing out something that should have been obvious to me
and should have checked. I'm a little busy now and simply jumped to a
conclusion.

One caution about saving money by selling an RV with empty tanks.
We live on a 26% hill, where many come to test a vehicle before buying.
Last year a seller brought his RV to demo the power after the
prospective buyer's mechanic said it lacked power. 2/3 of the way up,
it quit from fuel starvation. The clever seller made one application of
the brakes (and held it), set the emergency brake, put it in park and
called for a tow truck. He also told his wife to get out and go 3
blocks down for some cold drinks. As she was coming back up the hill,
impatience got the better of him and he attempted to back down the hill.
He lost control, almost ran over his wife and rolled the RV into our
neighbour's yard. As it past over a ditch, upside down, the roof came
off, but both the driver and the passenger, only sustained minor head
injuries. This was the most spectacular of many similar incidents we
have witnessed on this hill in the past 24 years. One night in the
snow, we had 3 rollovers within a few minutes. When it snows, we take
our lawn chairs to the end of our driveway, and with a hot drink, enjoy
the show. The hill is now closed with a barricades on the first hint of
snow, but the determined continue to amuse us. The last good one was 6
teenagers in a fibreglas canoe. It went into the ditch 1/2 way down and
tried to fit in a 16" pipe. Only five were hospitalized. Later, on a
dry road, we tested a car IN NEUTRAL, from the top and found it attained
45+ mph as it passed the point of impact. We think a canoe on packed
snow goes much faster. The army came to test a "deuce and a half" with
chains on all 6 wheels. It did not flip, only flopped on one side. The
brain dead ballast bodies were tossed through the canvas top, into a
barbed wire fence and thorns. Quite a choir for Christmas.
No local awards, YET! http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/
When the city filled the 6' deep ditch in front of our property, we
erected a 6' dirt berm. The city demanded we remove the berm. We
presented city council with many pictures and accident reports. The
berm is still there and now some of the shrubs are 15' tall.
The "Tin Gerbil" came with a "dead" Onan when I bought it. It has run
perfectly since the first fill-up.

Well what do you know! These Onan generators actually require fuel to run!
While in the "battle" to get the Avion ready to show, I jumped to
conclusions when the Onan wouldn't stay running. Lack of fuel in the main
tank was in fact the culprit.
Thanks again.
And now, borrowing Rick Denny's signature style:

Not just yet. I have 3 people, who have seen my web site with the lower
price, coming to look at it today and tomorrow. I may just leave it and make
it more of a firm price rather than planning on negotiating. At the very
least nobody can claim that I am "playing" with the price. I don't want to
even appear to be dishonest or flaky.
Hopefully I won't need to worry about it after today... <crossing fingers
here>.
I have removed the description of the generator problem from the web site
however.

Emery;
I think you best start an "Ask the Expert, GMC" site where people pay
for answers. On second thought, we already have the Jim's ask the
expert GMC sites and they are slowly going broke. Maybe the problem is
with their answers?

Be honest, wear your dunce cap when showing the coach to prospective
buyers. Always better to appear stupid, than dishonest.
Good Luck with your sale and finding a 23'.

Gordon,
I am always open and honest with potential buyers of ANYTHING that I happen
to be selling. It may sound old fashioned, but it helps me sleep at night.
As far as my dunce cap, I keep one handy at all times and am not afraid to
wear it. In fact I wear it quite frequently thank you very much.
I just sold the Avion after talking with the guy for over an hour. He bought
it sight unseen, except for the photos on my web site. Since he is flying
into Sacramento from Portland tomorrow, I explained to him everything that I
could think of about the coach. He already knew about the positives, so we
spent almost the entire time talking about potential negatives. So again, I
can sleep tonight.
Cheers,
Guy Lopes
