Mac, Let me welcome you to the GMC Owner's Group. Glad you found a coach that suits you. Now you can begine making it your very own. Keep in mind the next International convention is in Du Quoin, Il. this fall. Only a day's drive for you. There you will see everything that you have heard about on the net. More important though, you will get to meet these folks that come up with the upgrades for our coaches and hear the stories first hand.
As Gary has already mentioned, check the date codes on those tires. And/or if you see any cracks in the sidewalls, replace them before you travel. Tires 6 years old or older are subject to blowouts without warning. I try to buy 2 new tires every 2 years. Does not hurt so much that way. You may not have any choice here. I would get online and look for tire dealers in the area of the coach, just in case.
If you have "traveling internet" it would be nice to get updates on your ride home. If not, please make notes and give us the story when you get home. My 900 mile ride home was pretty uneventful but many guys here have some real stories to tell when they drove their coach home from the previous owner's place.
Anyway, best wishes. Let us know how it goes. We know that you are excited.
Dan
PS, Even though I know a GMC shop that advocates D rated tires for 26 foot coaches, I would get the E rated.
