After much discussion Lisa and I have determined that we should sell the GMC. It is a 78 Royale center kitchen with side dry bath. The rear couch area has been converted to a permanent bed with storage underneath. The coach does not provide us the room Lisa needs to meet her medical needs so the plan is to look for a large 5th wheel or go back to the 36ft Airstream. Not sure yet on which way to go but the GMC does not fit our needs. This was Ed Burners coach and was well taken care of. Upon our purchase we had Miguel go through all the mechanicals and it now has a rebuilt 403, 370 diff and fresh seals in the tranny. I added EFI with EBL & CCD and Branscombe parking brake setup. I still have the carb setup and everything to put it back if that is what you want to do. Miguel replaced the front bearings and had new exhaust and BF Goodrich commercial TA's installed. I can send pics to whoever asks. As with any older vehicle like this I will never get back what I have into it. Everything works and it has a newer fridge. The Onan can be finicky but it does run and charge. Pretty firm on $20,000 but let's talk.
Email me for more info and a contact number.

Yeah, if this one was closer to AZ, I'd be crawling around looking over, under and inside it!

Testimomial!
My wife and I delivered this coach from California to NY for Wayne and Lisa.
Toured the Western mountains of California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota along the way.
Two week trip without a hitch. The coach ran great and handled well.
Wayne has made improvements since then, so the coach is even better now.
The coach is clean and attractive ; the blue color gets a lot of attention from people on the road.
I'll be happy to deliver it back to California or where ever for the new buyer.

Much as I hate to part with it, I have not even had time to unwrap the coach from winter storage. I have had it running and let the air system pump up but that is all. I will be putting it on Evil Pay starting at $16,000 - no reserve. Let me know if anyone is interested before I list it. Probably be in a couple of weeks as I do not have a day off until then.

6kw. I tried to send the spec sheet but it got kicked back. I will reduce the size at work tomorrow and send it again. Once you see the spec sheet we can get phone numbers and chat if you want.

Looks like he forgot the "y" when he gave you his email. See the email address he gave further up in the posts.
