I went and looked at a 77 PB today.

Two twins in the back

The closet and bathroom were reversed.

The galley was longer than usual

It had a jump seat where the lower bunk should be

There were no bunk beds.

It all looked stock

I have seen a 77 or 78 Kingsley with that floor plan. Many years ago. I think that that floor plan is pretty rare.

Len and others,

I would be VERY interested in a copy of a photo of the Service & Parts sticker found on the glove box door.

It would be helpful in establishing the history of this floor plan.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Thanks for the responses to my post on this GMC interior twin-bed model.

I would appreciate it if one of you could send me an email photo of the twin-bed Service & Parts glove box sticker.

My email addy can be found in the members listing under "bryant374"

FYI: A few other details for GMC interior twin-bed models:

1976 model #ZEO6582 (Edgemont)

1977 model #ZEO6584 (available in ELII, PB & King.)

1978 I had thought it was available in the GMC interiors 78s as well, there is no sign of a listing for twin beds in the 1978 price list.
If anyone knows of a GMC interior twin-bed please fill me in.

FYI: Prices, The 1977 ZEO6584 (base) list price was $30,997.12, twin bed Bolsters were an extra $169.00
For comparison the ZEO6581 (standard GMC MH) base price is $30,347.12

Still need the Glove Box sticker photo
many thanks
Bill

While on the subject: I just got the new GMCMI handout. It states the
fully equipped price of a '78 as $46,000. I went to Google for a
comparison to today's dollars:

$46,000.00 in 1978 had the same buying power as $175,203.70 in 2016.
another reference said only $168,007,24.

At any rate, looking at the current crop of motorhomes and their prices, I
seriously doubt the GMC would sell new today for less than $200,000 --
especially if one considers the additional "features" legislated during the
past 40 years.

​Makes you consider our $25,000 coaches to be "dirt cheap", huh?​

I went and looked at a 77 PB today.

Two twins in the back

The closet and bathroom were reversed.

The galley was longer than usual

It had a jump seat where the lower bunk should be

There were no bunk beds.

It all looked stock
