Hello Fellows
My passion for the GMC Motor Home began back in the 70's when I was starting out in the work market, fresh out of High School and not very educated on the real world.

GMC started manufacturing the GMC Motor Home and I turned my head everytime I saw one traveling down the street and every magazine ad caught my eye. This would go on Until the turn of the century when I would finally be able to own my own dream machine, a GMC Motor Home, Much like the GMC's I used to drool over in the 70's through younger eyes.

NOW, we are blessed with many knowledgeable people here on the GMCnet. I really enjoy listening to the stories of how the concept came up, stories of production and stories of people who were involved in design and of who did what. It's much like a novel story of a nothing to stardom fame, and holding that fame for 30 plus years.

We also have our suppliers that like to tell a yarn now and then, Jim Bounds comes to mind. Don't you all just get taken away with the moment when these people are telling a tale of how it was back and when??

I was wondering if anyone knows or a site where there might be a collection of these tales, or maybe contributors might like to offer a story now and then of how things were and how it became the GMC motorhome.

As it stands there is rumour and disconnected thoughts of how our world of the GMC became what it is, I'd like to see, if its at all possible, the stories that made it happen.

If we have no site, I'd be willing to collect the stories for contribution to an accessible site at some point.
I know the stories are out there, we hear them all the time as they come up in quiet conversation. Would you be willing to offer those stories to an archive for the group? it may not be a best seller but it sure would be interesting.

My thoughts, thank you for your perusal.
