My Dad, and I left Thursday evening, and two hours later I arrived at the Greater Midwest Classics Summer work Rally., "Fritz Fest", in honor of the late Fritz Salma, just in time to enjoy the bonfire.
over the next three days, I had the pleasure observing and occasionally working alongside some real professional GMC guru's. Dave Lenzi had drove over 800 miles to help and guide us through some of our checks and repairs, and I lost count on the number of coaches that were pulled into the two lifts, to have things checked and adjusted.
Weather was perfect, work was shut down around 5 pm to socialize for dinner, live entertainment in the shop, and bonfire each evening. If you are not involved in your local clubs, you are missing out on some real opportunities to meet some great people, and learn how to make the best out of your GMC ownership as well.
My coach ran well going down and back. We set my steering box to center, and adjusted the alinement slightly. It is good to know that there is nothing major about to go to hell on my front end at this point.
Thanks all who put this last weekend together/on.

Send me their information. I will send it out.
If a person wants to sell a coach today, and if they are reasonable with their asking price and condition of the coach, there are a couple good ways.
1st is a posting on craigslist, and it will be picked up by RC usually and posted around.
2nd, is it looks like Billy's GMC Motorhome Marketplace Facebook page is getting some nice traffic. I have seen more coaches passing hands from that site, in the past 8 month's then any other.
3rd is GMCMI. they have been posting coaches for sale as well on both their website and facebook sites.
This fall, it would be good to post a flyer at the GMCMI convention in Rapid City, because that is really a local coach to that area.

Nice report, Jon. Thanks for sharing. You're right about club membership. Lots of advantages to belonging to a group like that.

I put it on Craigslist - Grand Island, NE. Don and Angie feel it is time that someone else enjoy the coach. They owned it for 18 years. I will send some more info out when I get back home from FL where we were babysitting grandson #2.
