Richard,
Please allow me to chime in here with a big "ditto" to all that John
said. When I first got infected wih the GMC bug last spring, the first
place I called was Cinnabar, from an ad in my brother in-law's FMCA
magazine. No coaches for sale, didn't know when, etc. etc. Then I called
Max at Buskirk-Rush. Also no coaches for sale at that time, but he
invited me up to Sandusky to see their facility. Took a trip up and Max
spent over two hours with me, showing me coaches that were in for
service, the incredible renovations that were possible, what to look for
when inspecting a coach (ie. rusted frame by bogies, etc.) I decided
that when I did find "my" GMC, I'd bring it to Max to have it checked
out. Been going there since July when I finally found "Roy".
I would like to point out that I have nothing against Cinnabar, I have
spoken with Ivan and he seems like a good guy. (He and Max both used to
work at Xplorer motorhomes) My sense is that Max is willing to do
repairs with your wallet in mind. For some parts we go to NAPA, others
have to come from Cinnabar. Of course, Ivan would have to do what Wes
recommends, and with Cinnabar parts.
Bottom line is, I doubt you'd go wrong with either one. Like John said,
have a visit with Buskirk-Rush and then you can decide.
BTW Richard, did you happen to buy Rod Boyes' Palm Beach? I test drove
that at Cinnabar last spring. It had a very impressive maintainence
schedule.
Sorry to prattle on, but Michigan State just won he Big Ten Tournament
and I'm feeling a little giddy!
