I'm looking for some advice on a GMC I'm considering. It's the one running on LP that I asked about in my previous post. I've had several Class A motorhomes (Foretravel) so I'm familiar with RVing. I'm also mechanically inclined and love working on them. My objective is to find a very good GMC. I can fix things so it doesn't have to be perfect but I definitely do not want a project. Anyhow, this rig is a 76 and it's in Spokane, Washington (http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rvs/5617363000.html). Here's the deal.
It is, by all accounts, pristine. The fella that owned it just died and this was his baby. He bought it 25 years ago and took a few trips. However, for the last 20 years or so it has been sitting in his garage. Every year, he would take it out and drive it for a couple of hours and every month he would start it and use all of the systems. Right now, everything works and looks perfect. The only thing his wife could think of that he changed since he bought it was the addition of a green stripe to match the two tone green VW bug he was towing and replacement of both air bags (different times).
If I were looking for a DP like I used to own, I would be very leery of a rig that had this little use but I'm not sure about a smaller gas rig like the GMC. Get this. The tires are likely 20 years old! So... it runs great; looks almost perfect, has been indoors for its life and has run on only propane for 25 years. Would you experts consider a rig like this? Don't hold back; I can take it. Thanks.
