Coach picked up from my shop on Monday. Greatest trailer for a GMC motorhome I have ever seen-rear wheels slide forward, bed tilts, big wench hauls it up, bed tilts down, rear wheels slide all the way to the rear, presto! Should have taken some photos but thought of it too late. Pulled by an 18-wheel tractor.

Got a call today from Proterra in Colorado. They got the coach started and drove it into the shop. Engine and trans worked well, he said. They will pull the engine and insert an electric motor to connect to the standard GMC trans I think. I asked him to send me photos to share with y'all as the project goes forward.

See what can be done with a GMC motorhome that had sat for at least five years! Not bad for a $500 investment.

Hopefully, I can get the 76 Edgemonte running after Du Quion and start improving it to sell. Only has 67k on the original engine. Remember, the Edgemointe came with rear twin beds/sofas and a dry bath and lots of 77/78 features(dinette, front swivel seats, Electro Level I air suspension system, late style windows, the aluminum sub-frame and better insulation and more.

Also, will begin upgrading the other Edgemonte we are keeping. It has 4 air bag system, Zip Dee awning, front disc on rear wheels, total remodeled inside with custom twin mattresses, two-door refer, twin closets, built in micro, mini blinds with custom valances, Flexsteel seats, headers, 6K Onan to be replaced by Honda 6010 generator(already have it). Also have a port fuel injected, turbo-charged 455 engine that will have gone through and installed at some point.....Michael at GEMRECS
