New owner - total newbie to the GMC motorhome ..aargh!

[Rob]

I rode the motorcycle down to Cook St. Village today - I found (I think!) the GMC, but it’s under a cover. I found it on Google street view - but it’s hard to see any details! Maybe in the spring! I’m curious to know if I recognize it.

I went by with a friend today too Rob, saw they'd tarped it over. It's a 23'green one that's about all I know.

The Karma thing is even worse. No one has ever paid attention to it and someone or multiple people, in fun, have been voting a couple people into to
the negative range. I saw one recently at -77. So ignore it as it is useless. I have never even looked at my rating.

Welcome to the group. There is a great bunch of people here.

Welcome. Low mile preserved originals are rare. Start by reading the owners manual. If covers the automotive and furnishings (RV) side. If
unchanged by PO most of the info will still be pertinent. Some things like octane ratings, oils and fluids have changed with time. No stupid
questions. All good to ask. Pay attention to how the fuel tanks function ( brilliant engineering once you get it) and how both 12 and 125V systems
work.

concern as we run a GMC shop and supply all parts for the coach.

John, I emailed a few pix to Shawn over in North Van and from what he could tell there are quite a few upgrades on the coach, on the exterior shots he
could see the wing mirrors were not factory but had been upgraded to larger black ones that he said gave better visibility.

The blue/black/white "flash" vinyl wrap - well, that's certainly not original either!

From the interior shots, only the rear bedroom retained the original PB green plaid upholstery. The driver's and passenger seats had been upgraded,
Shawn suggested possibly Honda Odyssey units although they could be custom too. The other seating including the pullout had been changed to match and
(from what I can see) the dinette looked like it might have been modified also. The seating definitely had and looked like the seats on that side
swiveled.

The headliner had been replaced as well as the carpet along with a newer fridge and an upgraded roof fan.

That's what I know so far!
