We just had a presentation from the Maharam fabric representative showing their newest upholstery fabrics. Their highest end stuff should look very familiar to those of us with the original Palm Beach and Glenbrook interiors. Congratulations! You're back in style!

If someone can teach me how to post a jpg photo on a mac, I'll post the picture. Every time I try, it says the attachment is to big even though it is well under the 1Kb limit.

The "IMG" does not have to be caps.

If you enclose the url of the picture within the "img" tags, like this:

[img]http://www.thegmcmotorhomepeople.com/include/nav/gmc-motorhome.jpg[/img]

It displays like this in the forum:

http://www.thegmcmotorhomepeople.com/include/nav/gmc-motorhome.jpg

To make sure the email subscribers can find it, duplicate the url without the "img" tags, like this:

http://www.thegmcmotorhomepeople.com/include/nav/gmc-motorhome.jpg

Eric,

Below you will find how to sign up and post photos to the GMC Photo Site.

To upload pictures on the GMC Photo Site you will have to register first.

Click here: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/register.php

When you fill in your Username keep in mind that if you choose something unique and not your name people will have difficulty
finding photos you upload.

When I first registered I used relleumt which is my name backwards, sort of. I got so frustrated trying to find pictures other
GMCer's had posted I decided to change it to Mueller R.

I do now worry about Interpol finding me so I am careful what photos I post! ;-)

Once you're registered you can click on the link below and follow J Harpers step by step procedure which will walk you through how
to upload photos:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=4782

Regards,

$130 a yard?  That would make the material for the driver seat be $650 (5 yards).  A set of dinettes would be $1300!  Wow, that's a great way to spend some money!  I used to say it would cost the same to make the interior up to date or with the original cloth plad-- that's no longer true!

Google "New Toto.com" They have more fabric than Carter has little liver
pills. Free swatches sent quickly. I bought my fabric for My Royale when we
Re-did it. Great people. Your experience may vary.

>more fabric than Carter has little liver pills.

One of my favorites, but the kids don't know jack about Carter's Pills. So I had to update it to

"more X than Frito has chips." Seems to work.

Yep! Pricey stuff, although that is their list price & it can usually be had for about 30-40% off.

New patterns usually get introduced at high end like this wool, then transferred to lower cost fabrics if they're popular. Though it's a grea

It appears that plaid may be poised for a comeback.

I think I would pay that much to have someone take that stuff out of my GMC and burn it.
