Selling our 1977 GMC Eleganza II 26' motorhome. Excellent shape. Drive anywhere. Rear full size bed 4" longer than normal. Additional bed/couch in front. Side bath (wet bath) Really nice coach. Drive anywhere. Appraised at over $60,000. We want $30,000, probably have twice that in it not counting my labor. Coach located near Huntsville, AL. Delivery possible. Lots of folks know this coach.

Oh no, you're not going to be rid of us (me). I still have the original coach that I want to make an art deco car hauler from...you think I made changes to the Eleganza, just wait.....

We purchased an SOB last year and just don't think we'll use the GMC enough to justify keeping it and keeping it up.

Kerry,
Just heard this morning that we have several potential GMC'rs coming to the rally that will be looking for a coach. Are you bringing yours?

No but it is on the way north from Dothan for most anyone in the northeast or midwest. We're only 20 miles off I65 near the Tennessee/Alabama line. I'll have the ad and lots of photos and half the folks there know the coach.

We're bringing the SOB (Fleetwood Discovery) because we have an SOB rally the next weekend and don't want to load/unload twice.

You said you were rebuilding your Cad. Are you and Lucy coming? It wouldn't be the same without Lucy... LOL!

Kerry, if you have one of those digital picture frames handy, load your Eleganza pix on it and let it run a loop at Dothan.

Kerry,

If you don't have such a picture frame, there are 3 idle here. Plenty of
time to load them tomorrow now that we're leaving Thursday.

Yup...part of the set-up crew, so we are here (at Dothan). Staying in a motel...just not the same ;-(

To complete your cheapo sales kiosk, I suggest one of those small black & orange for sale signs with your phone# propped up on the card table beside the digital slide show. Guys who have been rubbernecking backyards for vehicles for years can spot that telltale color combo 1500 yds away. Print out the Swap page write-up for a stack of flyers.
