Hi, Mike.

Actually, I really like the individual awnings. To me,
they give the coach a more modern appearance. I have
poor experience with the large awnings in wind and
heavy rain storms.

I also like the minimal but classy (IMNHO) pinstripes.

I'm still trying to get additional pics of the interior
and also the TZE number.

It appears that one or more POs have done some upgrading,
even if it doesn't all really fit together. My color
sense (lack thereof) is always bugging wife of almost
50 years!

Seller has advised coach has a double bed. That's good,
in my opinion. It appears that a gaucho or sofa is on
the street side, but it's a bit hard to be sure. From
what I have read here on the list, mods to a GMC are
limited only to imagination and size of bank account!

Best regards,

Mac Macdonald

I have submitted the opening bid on this coach. I have
no idea as to where the reserve is set, but figure I'm
pretty safe at opening level. ...

Mac,

Overall it looks like a nice "mid range" coach.

It has an early style dashboard. Looks more like a 1976.
Electro Level came out in mid-1976. I am not sure when
the later dash started but it was very close to the
1977 model change over.

Sunnybrook? I guess you can can YOUR GMC anything you want.
The (painted) doors on the overhead cabinets make it LOOK
like it was a Palm Beach. I think the shower curtain is
also Palm Beach. Even I (with no color sense) noticed that
nothing inside seems to match in color.

Interesting pin striping. I like the it around the front
wheel wells. I think it would look even better with some
type of flares. The pin stripe on the rear looks odd with
the T skirts. Not sure about the pin-stripes around the
windows. Notice the windows are upgraded? Seems odd to have
3 small awnings but no large one... Red ladder and roof rack?

I like the wheels..._almost_ chromes and baby moons. I would
need to try the spare before I counted on it. I do not think
it will fit as it has a coned shaped spider. (center)

Just from the oddness of the listing. I wouldn't take anything
the seller stated as truth without something to back it up.

But overall, not a bad coach... from the listing.
