Matt, I edited my comments on purpose for the "political correctness"
factor.

Yes, a well maintained GMC will handle fairly well when compared to
other motorhomes of that era, but not when compared to modern automobiles.
All I was saying, really.

Jim,

I will concede that there are many modern passcar that handle better than a forty year old motorhome, and yes it was better than it's contemporaries in that regard. But I would have to guess that you have not driven many modern motorhomes of the same size class.

First, there are very few A's in the same size class as yours and Zero in mine....
The larger A's are buses and drive just like buses. (Surprise?)

Second, most of those in our size class are C's assembled on truck chassis and those that I have had the (mis)fortune to drive are as rewarding as a U-Haul. (This is not intended as a slam of U-Haul, after all, their target is not to be a comfortable travel vehicle.)

So, I think we really agree for the larger part.

Matt
