Hi, all! I'm new to this site and to the GMC RV in general. Like most of you, I've seen the GMC, either on the road or in Stripes or in Ben 10, which my son watches, and had NO IDEA what it was, its history or how absolutely cool it is!

I've been obsessed with motorhomes ever since I saw a Grand Villa Unihome pass in front of me in 1992. It looked like a space ship on wheels!

Since then, I've been hooked on the idea of taking a small slice of home with you wherever you go. And for a long time, I was interested in a Sportsmobile. The idea of going someplace remote and quiet and having the comforts of a relaxing hotel room was really appealing.

But when I priced out the Sportsmobile, and everything I wanted on it, I realized I'd have very little money left to actually, you know, go anywhere. Plus, even with a diesel engine, I wasn't going to get any kind of decent mileage so there'd be fuel costs on top of everything else so I can see how it would become a very expensive paperweight.

Then I saw a GMC. Wow. It looks to me like those retro drawings of what people in the 50s thought the future would be like. It was an optimistic view and the images reflected that. Likewise, the GMC just screams Happy Times! And I love some of the modern restorations done that make it look like, um, a spaceship on wheels! And it came to me THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ANYWAY!

So now, I've added the GMC to my list of obsessions but, you know what, this one actually has the possibility of coming true because the cost is so reasonable. Even for a fully kitted out, fully restored, glossy, nice driving vehicle, I have yet to see prices that top $90,000. And, of course, there are a lot of fantastic rigs for a whole lot less than that, and even less for a GMC that would make a good canvas to draw my dream on.

And my dream is this. I want a rolling library. I want shelves and a wing back leather reading chair. I want quiet and darkness to immerse myself in my books. And then, when my eyes are tired and I want to get out for a run or explore a new city, I open the door and go. Oh, and I want to look GOOD doing it.

I think I may have found the perfect platform.

Looking forward to learning more about this beautiful ride and making plans for my future ownership.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you on the road!
