These things still look futuristic as in more modern than today.

In all the campground I've been in with my GMC, I haven't seen anything that looks as cool!

Always nice to see these with the original interior, these motorhomes just don't look right when renovated

So glad to see that these iconic motorhomes are still around. Back in the day, my uncle had a Cadillac/Buick/Pontiac/GMC dealership and my Dad was the GMC motorhome sales manager and he would occasionally take one for a weekend getaway. So, very fond memories of these vehicles. Thanks for sharing!

No 3 has a lot of potential with the right plan. That rear bathroom is an excellent idea.

The water tank at the rear would be a problem will driving with it filled.

I think they are the best looking, and at the time, best engineered motorhome, ever! I am building a pickup camper from scratch, and I think that's easier than the complete overhaul somebody started on that 3rd one. If there was a modern engine/ trans. swap that would get better fuel economy, I would be tempted to get one.

Haven't seen a video from you in awhile. When I saw the thumbnail photo for the video I was thinking oh no you bought 3 more gmc motorhomes?!!! Very cool to see the homes thanks for sharing. Very cool video tour!!

Ha, thanks for the comment! I'm not crazy enough to get these three but it was fun to see them. Lots of potential. I have lots more to with Edna, it's just been busy and the weather is getting cold here.

No. 3 is a good project to tackle at this point.

Wow, as you say these are a great starting point for someone. All illustrations of what could be an easy fix if you have skills in one area and not the other.

Yes! And with some time and money all of these could be very nice for a lot less than a new motorhome

Thank you so very much. I sincerely appreciate it and I'm always considering one of these style of motorhomes. I myself would feel more comfortable having metal ribs on the floor of course with possibilities of a metal floorboard. But i really like these. Thank you

We have really enjoyed ours, it's unique and very useable. The walls, roof, and floor have aluminum ribs. That is what the wood floorboard is bolted to.

I really like these.

The flush exterior windows look really nice in the GMC.

I love it motorhome....i would like someday i can have it....god blesss❤❤❤

Thanks

These would be GREAT as PHEVs with a totally electric powertrain since it all ready have a generator to recharge batteries and provide electricity to the appliances.

That will sell for way more than 5k😂 the generater alones worth that.

i'll take number 3

I am going to be selling mine I think due to having too many toys and the indoor storage cost going up too high. It has a lot of work done and is drivable anyplace but still has some stuff to do too

Looks like my front yard with Winnebago class A's. though all mine run and drive since they are set up for search and rescue

I would love one of these but gas prices over here in Europe are prohibitive.

There are a few in Europe, I think there is even a club or two that gets together for events. Everything about these is expensive, from the maintenance and upkeep to the fuel costs.

IM INTERESTED IN THE ROYALE

Did you know that some of these were provision by Crocker bank or a California bank to put ATMs in the back in order to promote the use of ATMs for banking?

Does anybody remember that one of these was used as a video production truck for the country music awards in Los Angeles?

People ALWAYS want to know the miles. Share the miles in your videos.

Can you give a little more info on those new windows? Manufacturer? Part number?

The windows are branded as C R Laurence Automotive Products. I don't see anything for a GMC on their website but they may do custom work. www.crlaurence.com/productcategory/AutomotiveWindowsSupplies

Im actually curious if its a metal floor board

@MrGMCMotorhome

These have aluminum framing in the walls and floor with wood floors. The wood seems to be marine type plywood that has held up well but some people are now replacing floor boards with engineered laminated wood sheets, usually from marine applications.

What are ya doin' prowling in my backyard? I've had a Kingsley that I paid $1k did a few low cost repairs and flipped it for $4.5k. I have 2 Palm Beach models, a transmode and a diesel powered front kitchen Royale.

Ha! Once you get a couple, they seem to multiply.

I'm dreaming of finding one like the flush window one. where did find them?

@MrGMCMotorhome

There have been a few companies that have made window replacements over time. The company that made the windows for this coach doesn't make them anymore but I would check with the various GMC motorhome supply houses to see if they have a source.

Looks like the RV in DAMNATION ALLEY I wonder if they were not based on that rig Sure looks like it

Interesting, I had never seen that vehicle before. It looks like that beast was completely a custom build.

Are any of these Motorhomes for sale ?

@MrGMCMotorhome

They were for sale but I think they have sold now.

Where are you located. Or where is your friend located. Eventually, I will want a GMC Motorhome Buying Consultant. Do you ever do that? Or, does your friend?

Thanks for the question! My friend and I are both located in Eastern Washington State, near Spokane. There is a great resource for perspective GMC owners and it's "The Black List" (www.gmcmi.com/black-list/). You can get access to the latest version by subscribing to GMCMI but there are older versions also available. We contacted a few of the people listed on the black list to help us look at coaches we were considering or just give advice based on photos over the phone or via text and email. There is a great community of people who enjoy these rigs.

Are any of these for sale ?..I would be totally interested in the first one ! I LOVE the old school look and this def has that !

A lot of the parts are general RV or GM parts. There are also several specialized parts suppliers for these motorhomes and clubs where people save, restore, sell original parts.

Why are so negative on the 3rd motorhome? It has a lot of new items, and a lot to do. But compare it to what you had in earlier video, this is way ahead.

@MrGMCMotorhome

All 3 have potential but need lots of work. The 3rd motorhome has had a lot of upgrades and parts but was probably the farthest from being ready to use. If someone put in all the work to complete it, it could be a very nice modern motorhome for a lot less money than a new one.

Don't buy all of them. Save some for the rest of us. I want to have one eventually. 🤞😊

3??? bloke got a problem. Hoarder tendencies

"Anybody" would want to spend the night in it???? I beg to differ with you on that score as many people spend nights in far worse and old motor homes are an important source of affordable housing. I can find inaccurate use of terms like "anybody" and "nobody" to be a bit offensive. Though I'm sure that if you are so sure that nobody will want to spend the night in it, there will be no need to lock it. There are some animal rights people who would suggest that the mice themselves constitute "anybody". I wouldn't go quite that far but do suggest that there are around a billion people whose lives are not much better and who would dearly love to sleep with the mice in that motor home.
