G'day,

RC Jordan has brought up a subject that piqued my curiosity vis-à-vis the age of GMC buyers which resulted in the questions below:

How old were you when you bought your first motorhome?

What kind of motorhome was it?

How old were you when you bought your GMC?

Was your GMC the first motorhome you bought?

My responses are:

62

GMC - The Blue Streak

62

Yes

Regards,
Rob M.

PS - looks like your right as far as 62 goes! ;-)

I was 17 in 1979 when I got my first car a 1967 Eldorado,Had one ever since.
I found out about the motorhome in the 80's and always wanted one as I am
a Concert Sound Engineer and traveled the world for 20 some odd years in a
concert tour bus.Here now at 51 years old I have my GMC and my 67 Eldo
with a built 500.Never too late....
