Hi Marlene...
Glad there is another female that is willing to post occasionally! I think there are probably a lot of women who have just as much interest in their house-on-wheels, but may be intiminated by
this testosterone zone (a joke, guys...that's a joke...^_~)! I can relate to your comment about Bud not doing computer: I've been on-n-off this net since it's early days, and used to drag Tom
over to read and reply to it....but he just hasn't got the patience to sit in front of a computer, he'd rather be working on cars or the house. So I gave up, do the reading and writing myself,
and run to the garage when I need his expertise!
Anyway, we've had our coach since 1985 and have rebuilt it once already, inside and out. The PO had put in a really ugly, uncomfortable dinette set made of wood and orange cushions. We
replaced that with a used set, one that folds into a bed. Found it advertised in a GMC MI newsletter, had it shipped to Houston and re-covered locally. I mention this as an option to save some
$$..
Our coach is still at Coop in Fla. for paint and interior (I wasn't going to tackle that inside a second time!) and we are anxiously waiting to get our baby back.
You can see our lastest pics at http://gmc76.tripod.com/paintbase.html ...I really want to see it 0_0 out of that booth and get the whole perspective on the color scheme...!!
