The GMC Motorhome has an outstanding provinance, the design, styling, engineering & endurance has few if any peers. When I was a new owner I was most impressed by the large variety of GMC MH related "stuff". Very likely many of you are not aware of the extent of these originally available items, so I thought a quick list might be of interest:
HotWheel GMC MHs - >70 versions (continuation to present)
Rubber pencil erasers - 5 colors (replication the 73-74 colors)
Barbie motorhomes - 3 versions
Hess Training van
GMC MH by Zylmex - 2 different models (similar to HotWheels)
Fiberglass 1/16 model - several
Frisbees - 2 versions
Embroidered patches - 10 (many others by GMC MH Chapters)
Stickers - 2
Belt buckles - 5 versions
Decks of playing cards - 3 versions
pens - 3 versions
Match books - 3 versions
Key fobs - several
Cups & glasses
Packet of coffee
fly swatter
Kite
Camera
Clothing, hats, caps, jackets, shirts, etc
Publications - many, many, e.g., 50 different Sales brochures, 50 different magazine ads, etc, etc.
Showroom films - 13
Film Projector - 2
In house film of development progress - 1
Prototype B/W Pictures - 70+
There is much more but I said this was a quick list :^)
Nearly all of these items were sponsored by GMC and available during the 1973 - 1978 period.
Many of these items were given away at GMC sponsored rallies or by GMC MH dealers .
While I have nearly all of the above items, the problem is , I have enjoyed them for years & what do I do with them now?
