I know some guys on here follow this marque; I saw one for sale today for $10K. 75Kmiles, Cadillac engine, looks a little rough. I can find out more if anyone interested.

For that money, you could get two or three GMCs, unfortunately. Better support and better part prices. Ask Dave how much a new steel rim is selling for, we can get 2 American Eagles for the quoted price of one Revcon rim.

I concur. Revcons should tend to be a LOT cheaper than a comparable GMC. For $10,000 it would need to be pretty spectacular and the 500 CID Caddy engine is a big 'so what' it's close the 3000 lb lighter than a GMC so a 455 pushes it pretty well.

But they are better looking.......

OK John, it's a few miles east of CC so it'll take a day or two to get the info for you and I'll post here.

John, I went to the RV place today and the owner had picked up the Revcon. Wanted to clean it up and make it more presentable, he said. The owner is "Gene" and his phone is 775 691-9647. I saw it once before at his place of business, "Drake Solar" or something like that. I believe it is big enough to be a 220. So please call Gene if you want more info. Good luck.

George,
Finally got a hold of Gene today. He describes the unit as 31 feet long. I have no interest in this unit. Thanks for the possibility.
