WHAT FUN
This was a session, for folks to stand up and give an impromptu talk about
their faviorte mod for their GMC.
We started with 4 "sign-up volunteers", and ended up with 18 "testimonials"
;>)

*It was a "3 crapper night"*

1- Three folks wondered why they waited so long to change their toilets to
the new ceramic bowl , high seat, toilets, with macerator (silent running
;>).

2 - One of these talks, said there was no reason to rotate the mounting
flange "big job" just drill and insert lag bolts, with a screw end, through
the existing plastic flange on the and mount the toilet -- (duh why didn't I
think of that ) makes a quick job out of a tough job, ( more on this later)

3 - Removable steering wheel gets out of the way on the mezzanine seating
4 - 2 speed, gas furnace, with low setting for Quartzsite - and dry camping
5 - several folks -- "so glad I bought my GMC" -- and " I love these GMC
folks"
6 - wireless air system - the future for GMCs - a handout with pictures on
the thumb drive - and on the web site
7 - Closet lights, to see in there, some with door switches
8 - single LED bulbs drilled into the dash, for turn signals (neat)
9 - raised bath mat for the wet bath, dry floor
10 - gas-pump spacer , so us CA guys can pump gas with the EPA nozzles
11 - demand hot water heater - cool - no----, hot water , as you need it ,
no power required
12 - wife, (several nice guys),
13 - digi-panel,
14 - solar panels
15- slide-out desk on the passenger side dash, WIFI desk , idea stolen from
another GMCer
16 - AND MUCH , MUCH, MORE ;>)

Now to go find these neat ideas at the Open House - what fun - and most mods
done by the owners

Wireless air? Whazzat?

A "real" toilet sounds nice. The ladies are sure to appreciate it.

there are lots, and lots of GMCs that do not have working air-leveling
systems, and have to run on schrader valves, and shutoffs (at the risk of
death due to exploding air bags;>).

the wireless air system used by Shotwell, and Bovie, allow you to remove
all of the OEM air system, and simply connect a single hose to each bag, and
adjust the height of your GMC ( Gary had a handout, that I posted on the
thumbdrives at the rally, and I will send to Bdub to post on the web site.

this system is very easy to install and use, and will keep you from sticking
your head in beside the explosive air bags, and shutoff valves. It works on
dual bags, quadra bags, and all air systems.

Shotwell and Burdick, did the early work on this system

I like this one, "I love these GMC folks". What could be better than this?
