If and when wanabees get serious about buying a GMC, the good and
knowledgeable folks here on GMCnet may be able to help. And the more you
can tell us about what you want, the more likely we'll help you find it.
First, I suggest you study enough to be able to answer the following:

1. What length and floor plan(s) would be acceptable or unacceptable? Aside
from looking at as many coaches as possible, a good source for researching
this is http://www.gmcmotorhome.com/faq/index.html where all the
originally available floor plans can be found. Hopefully you can identify
some configuration(s) you would not consider; like maybe a wet bath instead
of dry, twin beds, or 23 ft. length.

2. Do you want a coach that has already had many upgrades, an "original",
or something in between?

3. What features are "must have" or "must not have"?

4. Will you only consider a ready to drive unit, or would a fixer-upper be ok.

5. Where are you and how far will you travel to look at a prospective coach?

6. How much are you prepared to pay? That is, when you find your "perfect"
coach, what is the most you could pay?

Others may suggest different or additional criteria, but giving us a fairly
detailed description of what you're looking for should result in many fewer
inappropriate prospects. I think you'll find that most of us would be
thrilled to help make you graduate to "newby" status.

How about setting up a data base to keep track of this stuff Patrick. You seem to
have a lot of time on your hands. :) Oh wait ................. you are kind of
doing it now. In the immortal words of
