hi out there, we are just in the r`process of looking for a good used gmc motorcoach, if anyone has suggestions as to what NOT TO BuY! we would be interested. or if there are good suggestions also would like to hear. the ones we are going to look at this week end are 26 ft. royale but hasnt been driven for a few years. we are not mechanically inclined, do most mechanics have the ability to work on the big olds, engines? what danger areas would you suggest we be aware of. we know we would have to upgrade if we buy an older one, but need a little steering, in the right direction, in our looking skills. Any advice you may have would be very appreciated. thanks, the coulsons

SC,

You are welcome to join the group, but please do not hijack a thread as that makes it tough for the forum readers to follow the existing thread.

About a coach:
Please tell us where you are, someone here may know a good coach that has just come on the market.

If you are not a mechanic yourself, it is no problem to get the needed work done but it is not inexpensive to get it done right. (Why bother arranging to get the coach worked on if it will not end up being more reliable?)

Most good mechanics can work on the engine, but engines are simple. It is the suspension, steering and brakes (sort of in order of difficulty - not importance) that require familiarity.

Good Luck Hunting

Matt
