Wil,

You can very likely find a GMC motorhome that needs less work for possibly for even less money than the one you have called to our attention. I'm extremely sorry that prices have eroded to today's low level but that is, in fact, the case. Many of us have watched this happen over time. Even if you pay more for a better one you will very likely be better off dollar wise. Finding one in good, ready to use, shape may require some patience but the wait will be worth it. Like several others on this site, this is the voice of experience from a long-time GMC and old car owner. It is almost always less expensive to buy an old vehicle that someone else has spent the money to fix up.

From watching listings in the greater bay area, assuming there are not
issues with the engine, or the clean & black water systems, this seems like
a fairly good deal.

In curious how it works out, his plans are pretty much my plans, plus I'll
go places on the weekends I have my kids. Also I'm a geek in the bay area.
