Question:
How many millions of miles have been traveled in GMC Motorhomes?

Production Totals
Total 23' GMC Motorhomes: 629
Total 26' GMC Motorhomes: 9,086
9,715 total by GMC

Total 23' Transmodes: 1,016
Total 26' Transmodes: 2,190
3,206 total transmodes

Production Grand Total: 12,921

Estimate No. 1
How many transmodes were not finished as motorhomes?
Hypothosis: Less than 1 in 13 GMC's were not finished as motorhomes.
Wild Guess: 921 non-motorhomes
Therefore: 12,000 motorhomes

Estimate No. 2
How many GMC Motorhomes have traveled at least 50,000 miles?
Wild Guess: 75% (9,000 coaches)
12,000 X 75% X 50,000 = 450,000,000 miles


Estimate No. 3
How many GMC Motorhomes have traveled at least 100,000 miles?
Wild Guess 25% of the 75% (2,250 coaches, only 18.75% of total motorhomes)
12,000 X 75% X 25% X 50,000 = 112,500,000 more miles

Not speculating coaches over 100k miles

Estimated Grand Total Miles: 450,000,000 + 112,500,000 = 562,500,000 miles traveled in GMC Motorhomes

Is it a reasonable estimate to say that more than 500 million miles have been traveled in GMC Motorhomes? Shocked

I'd say most still in existence have traveled more than 100,000 miles by now. So I think your guesstimate is safe but low.
