Vonda,
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.
You have a coach and found your way here and that is great.
You even already have a sample of what this community can do for you. Now, hang on and enjoy the ride.
Everything you need to know and everybody that knows anything about them is available here. All the original documentation for everything can be downloaded at http://www.bdub.net/GMCLinks.html, and I mean EVERYTHING.
Now, before long, please build a sigfile. It should have your real name (this is so when you meet other owners, they will know who you are), a bit about the coach (You said 76 Eleganza II, but list major mods as that can make a difference) and a geographic reference (several reasons here, first is that the e-mail don't see the header, and some one that might help could be in striking range) for this, North West New Jersey works. That ties it down to a very small area. Besides, all the little towns up there are in walking distance of each other. (Says a guy that spent a lot of his younger years in Morris Plains.)
The important thing is what you have already seen. This is a helping and supportive community. But, realize that everybody here has an agenda that you should be aware off. We all have the same agenda and that is to see that you get to enjoy your coach as much as we enjoy ours. The freedom that a coach can get you is awesome in the true sense of the word. The only other community that I know of that is like this is that of the watermen that are my world. For that reason, I have taken to welcome new owners here much as a new owner or vessel is welcomed there. So,
May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.
Welcome Vonda
Matt

Look for "What's a Signature" on
http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=help_index&rid=0
It'll tell you all about it and how to accomplish it.
Lots of us are stuck in our ways. That's why we try to sync the GMCnet with as
many portals as we can. The original GMCnet is strictly email based, but that
is old and hard to deal with for some. Lots of old foggies, (myself included)
like it that way though. It started in 1997. The web forum is a mirror to that
and wherever a message originates, it's copied to the other system. It works
well with a few anomalies from time to time.
Facebook serves an honorable purpose I think you'll agree. Although not near as
good at archival, it is so much more quick and easy to get the word and/or photo
out. Some are slow to pick up on new tech. Heck, I still haven't figured out
what snapchat is for or Pintrest either.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!
I am definitely trying to make sure I find all of the information and groups
recommended by those in the FB group which is the first group I was added to by
Danielle as she is local to me and has a '73 GMC.
For the sigfile, do you mean my signature within the forum? I am doing as much
reading as I can to insure I get our coach in good shape prior to another
voyage. Scott and I made a decent size list going over it the other day. Sean,
Scott and I are getting together on Sunday to do more work on the coach so I can
learn from their experience.
Again, thank you for the welcome. I hope to become a helpful member of the GMC
community once I find my footing, ha.

Vonda - Welcome to the underground. Where the experts reside and you will get the real answers. (Yes, FB has its place)
Bdud - Don't feel alone about Snapchat and Pinerest. I've tried to keep up with all the new sh... stuff and finally gave up. You are doing just great.

The sigfile lets people know what you have, how it's modified, and where it is. Taking them backwards, 'Northwest Joisey
is close enough for people to determine your proximity. A '73 coach primes folks to the idiosyncrasies of that year model. frinstance, smaller bogie pins, refitted door lock, excreable dash A/C, air suspension controls. A listing of major mods also helps those making suggestions.
