I don't recall their names. Kim Weeks might know. They were at the Dothan rally. They live in South Florida and bought the coach from Jeff Sirum. We saw it when we were looking at the Morbeck Royale for our first coach. It had a gutted interior and literally had grass and moss growing in the floor.
They had it on the open house tour and it was one of my must see coaches having seen it before. I was impressed. One of the owners has a cabinet shop and it had lots and lots of nice oak cabinets and a huge kitchen. Very nice looking coach with tons of room but I bet it took a 50 acre field to turn it around. It's HUGE! It must be at least 34', all between the tires.

I saw this coach at Jeff's two weeks ago. The two guys who own it were stripping off the exterior to prepare it for painting. Very strange looking, due to the length of it, 34' as I remember. It is currently labeled "The Beast". The current owners told me that they intend to maintain the name. Going in the interior was like going into a small commercial plane body, narrow and long. Lots of room.
I did not ask about the mechanics of it.

Billy,
Ron and Suzie Tase, Titusville, FL finished stretching one to 34' about 15
years ago. They no longer own it. 'Don't know who does... Color, however,
does not look the same as theirs.

Can anyone tell me whose motorhome this is? I'd like to see more photos,
including the interior if possible.

If I recall correctly Jeff Sirum said he had driven the coach down from somewhere on the east coast north of Florida.

When we went to Alaska in 2000, we left the ferry in Juneau for a night.
Waiting in line for the ferry the next day, there were two GMC's -- ours
and the Tases' red and white 31'.. That was our first meeting and the
beginning of our 14 year friendship. While they've sold the stretch, they
still show up at Sunshine Statesmen events in their SOB.

I toured Ron's at the first WS Balloon Fiesta Rally in Albuquerque. A very
beautifully done stretch GMC.

Ron did a good job with the stretch. It was correctly balanced using
design standards.
He was after a walk-around bed in the rear. That meant moving the LP and
Onan forward of the rear wheels.
