You are singing one of my favorite songs. Our forum, no matter how important the info shared is, leaves the impression that our coaches are unreliable and incapable of secure long distance travel. Not so from our experience
Our two GMCs have been just about everywhere one would want to go in North America. We have written and given talks at GMC rallies about how very reliable they have been for us going 10000 to 20000 miles a year for 15 years. Have we had issues at times, sure. But with no where the frequency of our uneventful trips and adventures.
For me the mantra for our community should be "if you absolutely have to get there on a fixed schedule a 40+ year old anything should not be your first choice. But, if rewarding travel is your goal it is really hard to beat a good GMC".

It is scary how many blown up new engines we hear about, but i think there is an equal amount, if not way more of successful stories out there and
probably 1000 more you will never read about good or bad.

Having had the opportunity of maintaining lots of equipment that is at least 50 years old...... Maintenance....maintenance....maintenance. Getting ahead of the curve is the key.... Just bought a coach? Spend a little bit for an oil analysis for both the engine and transmission. Assume that there has been no maintenance done before you became caretaker. Be an observant driver, strange instrument readings? resolve them before you take it on that extended road trip. Do as much maintenance as you can. Watch whomever you select to do the work. Follow the maintenance manual. Any piece of equipment will continue to give you good, reliable service under those conditions.
