Last fall, in a weak moment, I bought another GMC from a local friend. The
husband died, and she didn't want to keep the motorhome, so I agreed to
buy it if it wasn't sold by the end of the summer. It wasn't, so I did.
This summer I reworked the most-needed problems, starting with getting rid
of the leaks from the roof vent that caused more damage to the ceiling and
cabinets.
- Roof vent replaced with Fantastik vent
- Ceiling panels replaced in main section (fiberglass panel with vinyl
cover)
- Overhead cabinets refurbished
- New light fixtures under overheads
- Entry door refurbished
- Water fill access door replaced
- Battery contactor replaced
- Water system leaks repaired
It still needs some minor repairs here and there, but it is usable as is -
I spent Labor Day weekend at a Bluegrass festival in this coach. However,
I am tired of working on it now, and would like to sell the motorhome
before I have to store it for the winter. Asking price is $9500; however, I will
consider any serious offers if you are interested.
I have posted pictures at:

Here are some other details:
- Engine is 455 CID; runs good; carb. may need some work - starts hard
when cold
- Passenger side front hub, axle, and bearing replaced in 2002
- One air bag new in 2004
- One windshield replaced in 2005 (driver side)
- Front shocks replaced 2006
- Air compressor replaced in 2005
- All upholstery new in 2007, including front seats
- Water heater new in 2002, gas/electric with electronic ignition
- Zip-Dee awning
- All appliances work OK except: toilet stool (flush slide works OK but
water valve not working,)
What still needs to be done:
- Carburetor needs work - starts a bit hard when cold, OK when warm
- Tires are in good shape, but should be replaced soon due to age.
- Other minor repairs typical of any GMC motorhome
We will be at the GMC Rally in Illinois later this week, and all of next
week, but we will have access to email there (assuming they get the WIFI set
up). If you want to call me, send an email, and I will mail you my cell
phone number. Or maybe just see me at the Rally ?
