Howdy,

I'm a new member here. I've bit the GMC bug pretty bad, and I'm in the market for one. I'm looking at Craigslist, and I've reached out to the GMC Great Lakers, but I also wanted to post an 'ad' here.

I'm looking for a motorhome that is coming due for some TLC, but is currently roadworthy and serviceable. I'm thinking in the $10K-$15K range. We are a growing family of four, so the floor plans that lean towards lounging space over sleeping space are out. The style (Palm Beach, Extravaganza, etc) isn't so important, as I plan on redoing the interior to match the way we travel and camp. I'd prefer not to travel too far from southwest Ohio, maybe a little ways into Kentucky or Indiana.

I'm also happy to hear from folks in general. Happy to have found this addiction, but oh, my poor wife...

Thanks,
Brian Cooper

...What I'm looking for is something that travels well with 2 adults plus 2 to 4 kids, and serve more like a bunkhouse at destination. ...

Yea, the one Chuck listed looks like a 26-10. Sometimes the stars align...just need to figure out where the wife stashed the checkbook...
Thanks all,
Brian

Brian,

Since Kentucky isn't such a tall state and given the fact that Knoxville is
just down the road on I-75, I'd recommend you seriously consider what Chuck
has offered. There are a few of us here that know you can trust him. I say
that because not everyone knows everyone else. Chuck's reputation and
integrity aren't to be questioned.

By the way, Chuck didn't send me 25 cents to say this either. He sent a dime
over the internet in 1s and 0s. Hah!

Brian,

A 26'-10 would be a good one to start off with. Don't give up with a
minimal kitchen and a bath room with toilet. They are a must with a
wife and family on the road. A family of 4 here in Florida found a nice 23' to
be just too small for them to use. My advise is find a good dependable
26' that you can start to grow to use. Chuck Boyd is a great person
to have as a mentor. Believe me it can work.

Thanks for all the posts folks, got some healthy leads, and some thoughtful words. To help you get to know us a little better, I'm 31, married, with a two year old girl and a five month old boy. Probably one or two more before we're done. I was an avid camper before we got married, and I'm hoping a motorhome provides enough civilization for her to enjoy traveling. She does enjoy seeing new things, but her bedroom needs to be man-made, along with her bathroom. Weeklong trips at most.

I had certain ideas about how we'd use the motorhome, but I think we'll get one that suits ok immediately, and give it some time to see what we like and what we don't. And proceed accordingly. What I'm looking for is something that travels well with 2 adults plus 2 to 4 kids, and serve more like a bunkhouse at destination. I think asking a GMC to be sleeping, cooking, and play space for our family is a bit much, so we'd make other plans for eating and entertaining, and would use showerhouses when the opportunity presents itself. That had me thinking we could do without the galley, toilet, shower, etc, and just give us a little room to be out of each others way. Less stuff to maintain, less weight, maybe save enough weight to tow a light boat well.

Thanks all,
Brian
