I love the: "It's not a club, it's a cult"... I had no idea how true this
is when we got our GMC :)

You can make them as they left the factory, but they still are marginal at
best. But, government regs being what they are, Maine and many other states
are unbending on that stuff.
Be very careful to not drive the coach with the brakes applied. It
will smoke your rear brakes in short order.

Congratulations Stephan! Welcome. We like to hear the good reports. It is
definitely a labor of love. When you can, put up some pictures over at
GMCMHphotos.com. Show off your new baby "Roy" like the proud papa you are.
Safe Travels,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Let me first start with saying how invaluable the members of this forum are,
and the amount of collective knowledge here is amazing.
With that said, I've often felt that the presence of the internet of the GMC
Community is a bit behind the times when it comes internet formatting.
We moved from a world of desktop computers to iPads and smartphones. From
what I can tell, when the internet was growing rapidly, many here in the
GMC Community were ahead of the game with websites developed, blogs before
they were even called blogs, and the photo site which is utterly amazing.
However, I think it is time for a few updates. I understand that many in
the group are very set in their ways, and I understand that. I understand
that many of you get their communication from this site directly from email.
I also know the further we get down the line, the more of the original
and second owners will be stepping away and new generation of caretakers
will be preserving these motorhomes.
I sent and email to Billy Massey earlier today outlining my "vision" for
what the future could be for the online presence of the GMC Community. My
thought was that it should be comprised of four basic parts:
First, a website entry point. Very similar to what GMCMI uses as their main
page, but a little more streamlined.
Second, a central document storage location. Basically, what Billy has on
his Bdub.net site, but more integrated.
Third, an update to the photo site. With cheap storage available now, I
think we can justify higher resolution pictures.
Fourth, an updated message board that is simple to navigate, post, search,
etc...
With regards to the forum; I've already built one. It is located at
www.gmcrvforum.com. I'd love for you to come take a look. You don't have
to
sign up, but you can look around at the format and give me your thoughts.
If you do sign up, you can remain completely anonymous if you so choose. I
borrowed a lot of the ideas from the Airstream folks.
Finally, and maybe the most important part of all of this is that it needs
to be "mobile friendly". Modern websites and forums scale automatically
depending on if you are viewing on a PC/Mac, a tablet, or a smartphone. A
lot of the older sites are hard to use on newer devices. As an example, on
the new forum, if I want to post a photo, I can just take out my iPhone, hit
the upload button and a familiar pop-up box appears that allows me to
take a new picture right then and there, or go through my camera roll in my
phone and find a photo I took previously.
I really don't have time to run with all of it. After all, I have a GMC
Motorhome to restore. It doesn't have to happen overnight, but I think we
as
a group need to think about where the future lies for the GMC on the
internet.
Ready. Fire. Aim. ;)
P.S. I would have attached a screen shot of my iPhone taking a picture to
upload here, but I guess there is a 1 megabyte limit. The new forum is
currently set to 9 mb I believe.

I know Im a newbie here and have explored only a tiny fraction of all the
stored info that this site is comprised of, but having a mobile app would be
very useful. Also it really would be very informative to be able to post a
pic directly to the forum in the feed. Perhaps I havent found the proper
instructions yet but I havent been able to upload any pics to the photo site
due to size of the files, even after Ive compressed them. I know theres a
secret formula out there but I have yet to figure it out..........LOL ( BTW
any help with that would be great, just sayin........ ;) )
Thanx

The short term plan is to have an Android and an iPhone app for the forum.
I already have the software. In the meantime, the new forum formats
automatically when you view it on a phone.

Dean, I tried but it says you're not accepting private messages. Would love
to know what you're talking about! I have the rear cap interior pulled out
and would love to put some insulation behind it and then I also wonder about
the engine compartment.

If you use it frequently and do maintenance it will serve you well.
Most of you won?t do it and complain .
We know how it improve it, but again we tell them they need to use it and
maintain service.

Welcome Stephan,
Re: your lack of dash lights. Along with Matt's suggestion to check the
light switch rheostat, check the 10 amp fuse in the fuse block in/behind the
glove-box.
