According to Bill Bryant, GMCMH Historian:
On January 3rd, 1973 at Anaheim Stadium in California, the GMC MotorHome
was introduced to the news media representatives. Over 100 newsmen and
women watched a demonstration of the vehicle’s performance capabilities;
rode and drove the motor homethemselves, and participated in a news
conference with top GMCexecutives. News articles across the country said
things like, “GMMotor Home to set industry on its ear“, “GM has built the
proverbial better mousetrap”, “If any product seems destined for success,
it would appear to be the GMC unit”, “GM’s new motor home scoreshigh in
demonstrations”, …..and many, many more.
