As of this afternoon Nick Knowlton and his wife, Darlene, have a GMC. They
purchased our 1978 Royale Rear Bath.
They arrived in Louisville from Sugar Hill, GA yesterday afternoon. Nick
crawled around with a flashlight looking at what was right or what was
wrong. He did notice a few things which proved he could see and knew what he
was looking doing. This morning we set the ride height, checked the tires
for air, drove around an 11 mile loop, and put refrigerant in the AC for the
dash. The generator started well and the 403 sounded like it should and even
started without a problem since I put in a new battery.
Thank goodness I made more off of it than I paid for it -- squeaked by with
$1,100 to the good (if you don't count the cost for the stuff we put on it
since taking ownership in 2007 -- Ramco mirrors, Ragusa step, toilet, tub,
sinks and faucets, ceiling, upholstery, Eagle wheels, captains chairs, etc.)
All in all, not bad for today's economy and the GMC being for personal
enjoyment and not financial investment.
He's heading back to Sugar Hill (near Buford and Southland Motorhome) by way
of Lexington, Knoxville, Ashville, Hickory, Gastonia, Spartanburg, and
Greenville. If you see a silver GMC with black around the windows and red
pinstripe be sure to honk.
With the coach went a good bit of my heart. Some of you know what I mean and
others of you won't understand. It's almost like "a Jeep thing" except it's
worse. But, the memories and the friends made while driving it will last a
lifetime. At the end of the day, it's the people that own or have owned
these beautiful things that are important, not the things.
