Wow! That thing must have a wicked tail wag when going around corners. That is a looooot of overhang. Nice looking work inside.

I found this Ebay ad via an Oodle search.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-GMC-Transmode-Class-A-Motor-Coach-RV/171998953093?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkpar

I am curious about the method used to stretch this GMC; any comments would be appreciated.

I bet that thing is a handful to drive, and there's no way it's going to go up any sort of incline without scraping. Shame, too - the inside looks nice. Now, if it just had a low rider for a toad.....

This is not a 1 off item. The first one I saw was built in Florida by Ron Tasse in 1998 and we saw it at the Myrtle Beach GMCMI convention in spring of 1999. That coach is now owned by a GMCGL Members. He claim that it drive well.

John,

Tase's coach had the wheelbase extended. He even built a model to make sure
the proportions would look right.
this abortion just had the body extended. It surely has badly overloaded
the rear suspension.

Reminds me of one I saw at Forest City Iowa..it had a light blue exterious
at the time. IIRC it was out of Coloroda. You don't see a lot of Cherry
Wood coaches with a walk around bed.

Must be a tail dagger coming out of a service station...
