Hi Folks
Earlier this week we brought home a 1976 GMC 26' motorhome. I don't even know what model it is as it had an extensive rebuild about 24 years ago. I've been keeping my eyes open for them for a while, this is the 3rd one I've looked at and the first one I seriously considered buying, which we did after a bit of spousal discussion. (she's all in)

It needs CV boot covers and a couple of water leaks fixed, brakes either needed adjusting or bleeding, had to push pretty hard. I'm sure I'll find more mechanical issues, hopefully nothing crazy.
Anyhow, I took a chance and drove it home under it's own power and made it the 150km or so with no drama. It was rarely used after the rebuild and not at all in at least the last 12 years or so but the elderly owner had the wheels, tires, one airbag, brake master cylinder, brake lines and rear brakes replaced, they're all new.

We both recently retired earlyish and want to explore Canada to start and the US eventually with it and our dogs (shelties). We're based out of the Kingston, Ontario area, but I have roots in NB and that would be our first trip with it. We have no previous experience RV'ing.

I've been reading some of the forum and glad I found it. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
