Hi Griff
What is your location?
Here is a link with some information.
http://gmcmotorhome.info/buygmc.html
Your best bet is to get in contact with a local GMC owner and have him go
with you when you check out potential purchases. If nobody on the list is
available you can check on the 'Black List' available here.

Good luck

Griff,
Welcome aboard.
There are a number of avid GMCers in NC, so you should be able to get some
good information and leads.
To start your research, I suggest www.gmcers.org. The links there will
eventually take you to all of the dozens of web sites dedicated to our
coach. You won't have time to absorb it all before you get the neck brace
off.

Grif, You could also drive down to the GMC Dixielander's Summer Rally in Dillard, GA, July 8 - 11. See lots of GMC's in various stages of life, and meet the great people that own them. Of course, I'm not sure who owns whom.
