I just want to recommend a towing company that we had a great experience with that is from the Chicagoland/Milwaukee area. Floyd's Towing (http://www.floydstowing.com/) from Racine/Kenosha WI. They placed our GMC 77 Palm beach on a semi flatbed and towed her for 8hrs one way then did the return trip with an empty bed. Everyone we dealt with at Floyd's was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgable. They quoted us a flat fee that blew away the competition. When they got to our location they realized they couldn't tow it off the street on the flatbed due to low power lines, so they called in a regular tow truck to tow us to the top of the street for loading.

Thanks for the report on a good find. I always have a problem recommending where people should go in the Chicago area for any kind of GMC trouble.
For people from out of the area, Kenosha, WI is just north of the Il /Wi border. It is about 40 miles from the northern edge of Chicago or about 35 miles south of Milwaukee on I-94.

I remember you from a year ago when you were stuck in Wisconsin.
If you tell us what kind of work you need to have done, I'll bet we can find someone fairly close to you. Just tell us where the coach is, what needs to be done, and in what time frame.

We were at the GMCI rally in Goshen this fall and had a great time and learned a lot. We made some great contacts. We are currently looking to have a trailer hitch (requires cutting the bumper, etc) and macerator installed. I think we need to install the macerator before the new hitch. If you know of anyone locally to us (chicago/milwaukee area) that would be great. If we cannot find anyone we will be taking it to Michigian in the spring for the work.
