Be careful that the person that you find to check out a GMC for you. Really knows what to look for. I've seen were a person gets a report back. Exterior, and interior look great. Need cleaning. Engine started right up. And sounded great. Nice GMC. Then after buying it. Found that the frame was unsafe due to rust. That was 4 years ago. It's still setting in their drive. They paid $21,000 for it. Replacement frame/labor will run another $11,000. This can happen with any used coach. GMC or an SOB. ( Some Other Brand. ) With the GMCs. There's a network, if used properly. Things like this can be avoided. As others have stated. These people here can help. Face Book? Where are you? As a note. I'm just finishing rebuilding a GMC that was going to become a chick coop if I didn't buy it. It was just too nice to see that happen. The members of this site know of what has been done. We've had GMC's for over 15 years. Love the people, and these GMC's. I've enjoyed building this one. For the time that I've put in it. Hope that I get minim wage with luck. So. Don't get in a rush. In the 75,000 miles that Linda, and I have put on GMC's. We've never had to be towed. Good luck in your search. Bob Dunahugh

GMCs ride more like a car and are built like a bus. Their bodies hold up a
lot better than the sticks and staples used in most SOB coaches.

This is one of the things which we became discouraged about when looking at used RV's ---leaks, paper-like walls, etc.
