Giday,
I bought my ’73-23ft in Sault Set. Marie Ontario (it’s on the US/Canada border between lake Superior and Lake Huron) My son and I flew in, had a good poke around the machine. I might add that we had NO previous experience with a GMC MH. Full of confidence at what to us looked to be OK we took off to drive the 2,750 kms to Calgary Alberta. Flat tap,no stops, and because we forgot our passports had to stay within Canada.
Didn’t miss a beat, until halfway across Manitoba, then cough cough splutter splutter and we came to halt. In the middle of the Canadian prairies its a long way between anywheres. We knew the gas gauge was not accurate so we miscalculated and now were out of gas. We had cell coverage so called roadside assistance. About an hour he said so we sat there and read the pile of manuals that the PO had left for us. “Look at this” said my son, “there’s a switch for an extra gas tank” We tried it and sure enough it started right up. Too embarrassed to call and cancel we waited for the help to arrive. He gave us 2 gallons (imperial) we gave him the $5 he asked for, he asked if we needed any other help. We assured him that we were ok then waited until he had disappeared over the horizon. Started up our new to us MH and continued our journey. No further complications.
Rob M. Have you any information the GMCMH that is reportably in NZ? I’m here for a couple of years and could have a bit of a gander if I had some info.
