Hi Guys
I'm trying to find a picture of a version of a GMC I saw some time ago.
It was off shoot brand of a GMC, similar to a Roll-A-Long Santana.
If I recall the company produced them in 28, 30 or 32' versions, they had
pantograph wipers on the front, and some other differences. Does anyone have a
link this this?
I thought the name started with an S but I can't for the life of me find it.
Thanks
Ray

Ray,
Me neither, however, at 34 feet it's a bit "over the top" for my liking. I reckon Clarence Buskirk got it right at 29 feet; two feet
in front of the bogies and one foot behind.
I've seen a couple and I like JR & Janet Wright's the best; it's got a light colored wood interior and is really bright.
Regards,
Rob M.

I think you're right Rob, the 29' would be about perfect. But my 26 is fine.
The item I'd like to have is the pantograph wipers, the swing on the OEM wiper
design is bad news. especially for the passenger.

Yep. Not sure it's a Revcon with the fat tires and 4WD. Revcon had the flat
walls on the side like that. Could be a Pace Arrow unit, too. Note also that
there are no tandem wheels in the rear.
I agree. Buskirks 29-foot made sense. It also made sense to GM as well. It
was left on the drawing board according to the story I've heard.
