Most screen time I've ever seen of a GMC in a movie. It's like it's the
main character! Not all that bad a flick either.
"Refuge" 2012 with Linda Hamilton
I watched it on Amazon Prime. It's also available on YouTube.

Refuge
(4)5.41h 21min201116+
Amelia (Linda Hamilton), a 40-year-old hospice nurse, accidentally kills her abusive husband and flees in the family RV with his body in the back. An unexpected romance blooms when she picks up Darryl, a failed novelist fleeing his engagement party.
Genres Comedy Crime Drama (honest,that is where one site pegged it
Director Mark Medoff
Starring Linda Hamilton, Chris Payne Gilbert, Lena Georgas, Christopher McDonald (the last is the worthless drunk of a husband)
One review called it the worst movie he has ever seen. I guess he didn't go to triple feature drive-ins. I thought is was amusing.
We ran it last night. The coach was a big part of the show. Does anybody know whose coach it is??
It is a Power Level, but the seats are the newer version. So, is it a '75 or a '76??
The paint isn't great, but the interior is good and it looks like they managed the filming without hacking up. Good for them.
As an owner, you really have to like to oil check scenes.
The Foley guy (sound effects) should get a raspberry, when the coach was moving the engine sound was all wrong. At best it was a small block and not even 403 it sounded more like a sedan with a short exhaust.
Finally I have figured out why TZEs show up in movies so much. It the script needs a motorhome and the director wants something that looks different, he has few choices and if you want something running and that you should be able to keep running, well, there aren't that many real choices.....
