Are there any photos of any GMCs that have been turned into mobile offices?

Hi Robin,

First one comes to mind is Jay's (Seven). It's currently for sale I believe.

There was also a 23 footer that was built by a lawyer for his lawyer wife as a rolling office. It was stripped clean of protrusions and had a special air conditioner located in one of the rear compartments with ducts through the coach. A beautiful coach.

I use my coach as a workplace during the warmer months. Mine is parked at my house so it's easy to get to and since I work from home it's a place to hide when my 6 year old has play-dates over. That's why I call it the "Honeycomb Hideout". (I got the name from the cereal commercials back in the 70's or 80's)

I usually use the couch or sit in the captains chairs and use the "Desk" the P.O. built on the instrument panel. It works for me because I can work using only a laptop, cellphone and a pad of paper and don't need a huge worksurface.

Take a look at these shots. It kind of reminds me of a court room.

The way it's set up in the back a swivel chair could sit in the middle and a U-shaped worksurface could be built.

Hi Dr.,

That's a *really* tasteful interior (imho). I really like the fact it's not 'congested' midpoint as most are - that you can see all the way to the back. Very, very nice!

Thanks for the compliment. The credit goes to the previous owner for the woodwork. He was a cabinet maker by trade and an architect by schooling as I was told.

I do plan to install headliner material above because there needs to be something to absorb the road noise. Anything more than a hour or so at freeway speed wears on me.
