G'day,

Well leave it to some Kraut to totally bastardize the drive train of a GMC!

However, it is probably the one GMC that will NEVER get stuck on wet grass! ;-)

I looked at the picture 3 or 4 times (mainly looking at the drive train) before I noticed the GMC on the back.

Saw a very similiar vehicle several years ago in Virginia. It was a Ford F350 chassis with GMC body grafted on. Looked like a Class B on steroids. Vehicle was painted Dark Navy Blue with U.S. Navy vehicle marking in black paint. Color combination made Navy data very hard to read. Was being driven by two very fit men in civilian clothing.
I did not ask and they did not tell.

Based upon this, there is no chance I will ever own a German motorhome.

And HE will only pay 10$ at the Machinaw Bridge.
That just grinds me enough to maintain the boycott.

Saw a similar "truck camper" couple weeks ago in Algonquin Provincial Park. It was a M.A.N. 4x4 diesel with European plates.

They were leaving a parking lot for one of the hiking trails. The rattle of the diesel was enough to loosen my fillings.
