For my 70th birthday, I swore a resolution that I'd never again wear a
necktie. Perhaps some of you are not so slovenly:

Ken,
I've been in some kind of uniform that requires a tie nearly all my
adult life. For now, "formal" means a collared shirt, untucked, of
course, and clean, non-shop, blue geans. It's gonna stay that way.

Sounds like they're not gonna be selling us a whole lot of neckties. Just
be sure the wives don't see that offer!

The outfit that markets the ties and other gear is RV Buddies who are also redoing a GMC coach for an upcoming TV show. Jim K and others are participating. They have a resident artist that creates the images for many different RVs. Their website is: http://www.rvbuddiesonline.com/
Most of their focus is on SOBs

If someone would build that 18' GMC on the T shirt, I might be convinced to get back into the motorhome RV group. It sure is cute.

______________________________________________________________

I remember that coach.
Last timeI was there I was looking at it. As I recall, it was pretty much stripped out, it did have a jaccusi in it but it was just waiting for storage.

Jim commented that it would be an easy to park GMC because of the smaller size.

I seem to recall some hesitation about working on it.

I guess Jim for sees a lot of work and space conversion not to mention installing the Jaccusi. It was quite large.

I think right back there by the back window would be good with a fold up bed on top of it. Then again, they do have beds that store up flat against the ceiling.

With all the other gadgets Jim likes to put in, it could be an interesting GMC.

But I have not seen it now for a couple years.

Susan is the FMCA delegate for GMC East and now lives in Kissimmee, FL.
When she lived in NH she had a very steep driveway to navigate so she
traded her 26' coach for a 23' and docked its tail another two feet. We
don't have many steep driveways in Florida.
