>> I bought my first GMC in 1997 and attended my first GMC rally in 1998 at

>> FLorida to purchase a 1978 center kitchen Royale before the end of the

>> our new to us center kitchen Royale. It didn't sleep well; it had a full
>> size bed going across the back of the coach and when the one sleeping
>> against the rear window had to go to the john in the middle of the night,
>> it was not fun. So we decided to purchase a third GMC, a 78 Royale rear
>> lounge model, which I converted into rear twins. I sold the center kitchen
>> model that summer. My first coach I kept for 20 years and eventually sold
>> it for $5000, half of what I paid for it (and that's not counting the 7
>> Alcoas, the heated Ramco mirrors and the Fantastic fan I put on the
>> coach). I just needed to get rid of the 77 transmode because I needed the
>> room in my Oregon home shop. I have been on the GMCnet since the 1998
>> GMCMI rally. I rarely post. I sold Ramco mirrors at wholesale cost for 5+
>> years (2000 to 2005) and put together a group buy for the Howell FI system;
>> that was back in 2007 best I recall. Anyway, I plan to move to my Oregon
>> home this fall, going home after living and working in NC for the last 50+
>> years.
