    I used to deliver these GMC Motorhomes all over the country back in the 70's. I loved these things It was like getting paid to be on vacation. I have not to this day driven a motorhome of this class that handled so well and rode so nice. I'm jealous of anyone who is lucky enough to have one.I would pick them up at the factory in Pontiac Mich, and have delivered as far south as Miami, and west to Texas, and in between. You have done a fabulous job on this piece of Art....enjoy.

    I was just 17 years of age, working as a night cleaner at a restaurant in Simsbury, Ct when the owners drove up with one of these! My jaw dropped! It looked massive and so unique and "modern". How fortunate you are to be able to own one today.

    My employer converted one of these rigs to a full scale TV production truck in 78 that was still in use until about ten years ago. It was heavy and lumbered down the road, but was a smooth ride. This owner is in incredible craftsman to have envisioned the mods and then been able to produce them in such incredible quality. Those rigs were quite visionary for their time. Kind-of a shame they didn't produce them for a longer period of time. Nice job with the tour video. I really enjoyed the step back in time.

    BEAUTIFUL !! My uncle had one and I loved it, but he warned me about one drawback of the front wheel drive that he hadn’t predicted. One morning he was ready to roll out but all he did was spin tires. He had no choice the night before but to park on grass. The combination of six tires very slightly sinking into the turf, and dew on the grass in the morning, and he was stuck.
    A couple of shovels full of gravel solved it but he was shaking his head and laughing, as were his camp neighbors.

    Usually I can't stand to see someone butcher up an RV and remove the factory furniture or paint walls which really always looks like trash but this guy did the absolute BEST job on his renovation that I have seen yet! Love the TV set up how it looks all built in..Everything looks built in and the way it should look..Excellent job! He actually raised the resale value of this coach soo much!! This is one of the few coaches that it does raise the resale value by doing renovations...had this been a 1987 Southwind with painted walls and Wal-Mart curtains, Target fur rugs it would look like trailer trash!! These GMC coaches only go up in value and It's great to see a high end job done to one!

    • @chrisreed26
      @chrisreed26 Před 5 lety

      @Charles Toles I hate shabby chic too..I was talking to a buddy at Lazy Days, a large Tampa area dealer, and he said they end up having to run those altered trades through the auction as they just can't sell them..nobody wants a painted or altered RV..the worst is the ones who remove the factory sofa and put two recliners! They won't give them much at all on trade if they have painted or removed factory furniture or built ins..even if it was a 3 year old coach once you paint the walls, forget it..any resale is gone..I have bought and sold for years and I won't even look at one if it's been altered, painted or had factory furniture removed..I can't resell them easy enough or even get much out of them..It's like this..would you take a 3 year old Mercedes and paint the dash? No! A RV is more like a car than a house when it comes to improvements..You can't tell that to the people on the RV forums..they love that Shabby shit I mean Chic..Just information from a dealer/flipper/re-seller's standpoint!!

I miss it..not the upkeep...or slow speed!! Max speed pedal to the floor on the 3208 CAT turbo diesel was 65mph!! (Front diesel) I am familiar with HMC..(Hawkins)..they did make a high quality coach..solid wood cabinets etc...everything that went into a HMC was the best of it's time..the A/C units..Penguin low profile, the best at the time..Hard to find a HMC now days..gas or diesel...

    Seriously, what is not to like here? There's actually people who gave this video thumbs down? I have been involved in the GMC MoHo community (Minnesota locally as well as GMCMI which is the GMC Int'l club) for 10+ years, and I've seen what I believe to be just about every possible configuration and modification done on these fine machines, but this one is particularly impressive - both in concept and execution. I enjoyed this very much! Thanks, and best of wishes to Brian! Thank you!

    I love these old machines. His layout is brilliant. Except for the ceiling. That is vile, lol.

      Scott Leech Yeah it doesn't go with the 70's vibe.

      The dark ceiling doesn't work. Should have used lighter color. But the rest of it is brilliantly done. Just amazing. GM was way ahead of its time and nobody in 40 years has beat this design. It is not just a truck chassis with a box on top.

    I just love the contrasts of all the different materials used for the interior and how nicely they fit together. Who would have thought that corrugated metal would have blended in so well and added so much character, well done on the interior design. Now I have to find out what kind of system is being used with all those solar panels. I didn't think these had a basement, where's the electronics? Time for "Part 2".

      Brian Boni , No basement is correct. There is a dead space under the closet floor, it's tight but it all fit. I went with a single 300 amp hour lithium battery to make it work. The nice thing with it being tight is, all my cable runs are really short. I also vented the space to prevent heat build up.

    My all time favorite Motor Home,hope to own one eventually.Enjoyed the information clip.

    I have an older, class A, 30' motorhome with a 454 gas engine. It wont get out of it's own way, while getting no more than 6.5 mpg. Seriously it's a road hazard. I simply must pull over every 5 minutes to let folks pass (including a fully-loaded cement mixer.)
    Think about this next time you start feeling nostalgic.

    That motor home with a duramax swap would be perfection

    Nice job on that. I’d love to buy one and do something similar but I’m already addicted to MCI busses and have one thats already converted . Maybe one day…

    Absolutely beautiful!
    Timeless classic.
    My favorite "truck" when I was a kid. I had the Hess Toy version in the 70s back when Hess gas stations had the coolest toys.
    That blue color is perfect!

    I love to see fine workmanship. Very few people have the mental makeup to pull off a meticulous re-construction like this. Admittedly, the GMC motorhome was a fine base to start from. It was a bargain and a tech wonder in its day, and still compares well against anything in its price range. I think a modern engine could triple the gas mileage, but running any other engine with this drive train might be difficult. Thanks for an enjoyable look into your motorhome.

    I've had my eye on the GMC. Theyre still getting solid resale on them "as is". Great design by GMC and superb Reno on this one Pat.
