Jim, you are a human treasure man. For real.

Tensional Strength is the force when an object is pulled from each end not bent .

Hi Jim and your team: Why hasn't someone carried on manufacturing GMC. Seeing it was designed for the future (Just like the 747 Jumbo). What a master piece this vehicle has become. Such a shame. But thanks to you and your Team for giving them a new lease on life and happy camping. I sure enjoy your videos.

Ive heard great things about this RV. I still want one❤❤❤

Appropriate upgrade to make this last another 45 yrs, thx Jim and associates

i will for sure be looking for this problem when i do find one of these rv

Love all the info. Thank you so much!

My brother welded in a gusset system last year and it helped a ton! I had a pretty good bow going. We put in the gussets and installed the new subfloor (I went with advantech that I painted with exterior paint) and my floor has no noticeable bow any longer.

This is great as always! I would love to hear more about the gusset system. Thanks Jim!

I live in Utah, I have 5 or 6 sheets of CoosaBoard. 3/4". Sell for $267 per sheet.

Coosa board good stuff, pricy. I used it to rebuild the transom in a bass boat. I used two 1/2 inch pieces with fiber mat epoxy between the two and the usual fiberglassed in. You will not find anything stronger and lighter. Actually maybe overkill

I would love to get ahold of one of these.eventually

Jim, I love what you're doing. Would love to show you what I've been up to on my coach. 230 1974, full frame off restomod, learned so much from you. I can't find any coosa where I'm at unfortunately

Jim during your presentation, I noticed that the windshield glass has got air in it and now there foggy. What does new glass go for?

No precedent for any manmade device to last 45 years? My commercial espresso machine is 67 years old and still working perfectly with minimal maintenance.

that is a lot of work . . didn't know !

Awesome info Jim what flooring did they install on top of the coosa? Is there a video? Thank you in advance!

Just bought a 79 26 footer, interior is out. Need to replace floor. And ideas about all the interior. What should iI do?

I hope you hire a better welder for those gussets. Holy splatter welds Batman.

You can add weight to your coach without mileage, performance or comfort sacrifices. Serious, don’t use lead but pretty much do what ya want

One question about the gussets? How many do you do? One at every cross member, or every other one?

Would you use Coosa board to rebuild a new engine cover over the Edelbrock manifold I plan to reinstall? Last time I used 1/2" plywood to custom design the cover. It was stolen along with the engine parts, mirrors, rear bumper, radiator, air pump, front grille and more.

@@lsee6145 Regency Realty (Management Company in Orange, California) "sold" nine GMC Motorhomes from MGM GMC after they evicted the shop owner. Yes, one was mine. By California DMV law, they were supposed to perform lien sales. Instead, they collected $200 apiece to "get rid of them". I found my GMC on KZread and am in the process of reclaiming it. All of the stolen parts were taken while the coach sat in the rear storage yard, an inside job most certainly. Lawsuit next!

Could you show how the coosa floor system is built? Is it coosa board, aluminum sheeting, and then mylar bubble foil? Or is it coosa board, mylar, and then aluminum sheeting? In what order from top to bottom? thank you
