Hello all, my name is Chip Gremillion and I live in New Orleans, LA. I have
been a Wannabe GMC'er since they were introduced. I now have the time and
the resources to take the plunge. I have followed the posts here for a
couple of years and continue to be amazed at the wealth of information and
comradeship amongst owners.

I am a computer guy at a local bank and a very capable mechanic in my spare
time. I also build reproduction furniture when I get bored. I have looked
at a couple of GMC's advertised locally in the past year or so. They were
either too pricey or had major chassis rust problems. I have hit all the
usual web sites, GMCMI, Golby, GMCMOTORHOME, etc looking for a mechanically
sound fixer upper with no success. Does anyone know of any 26 footers on
the market in the low teens? I would like to keep as much as possible in
stock condition, but I am not afraid to make "improvements" where required.
Thanks for your help.
 
You can call me a lurker, I seem to have trouble
getting the list to accept mail from me. I have a
question or two which I am sure someone out there can
help me with. First someone please tell me that the
GMC manual I have is wrong because if it is right I
need to remove the oil pan to get the front cover off
to do the timing chain and gears. Further the way it
is written it looks like you have to remove the final
drive to get the pan off. Yikes. I hope I am reading
this wrong. Second, Does anyone have a Napa part
number for the oil pressure shutdown switch for the
6000 watt Onan? Thanks in advance. I am looking
forward to getting this work done before I go to FL in
Feburary starting tonight, lets see it's gonna be 15
degrees tonight and no garage, this ought to be fun.

Ray,

Good luck, guy. As slimy as ramps are I'll bet it would be tough. Not to
mention what it would do to your genset, flooring, etc getting wet if you
slipped too far back.

Last year early spring I was on flat ground w/ about 1/4" bit of unthawed
slippery mud on top or the ground and I had to really work at getting it
rolling. Took 15 minutes on flat ground! I thought I was stuck for good.
Unbelieveable. Just food for thought and just my luck.

Subject: GMC: Towing a boat?

Anybody have experience towing a boat? My question is, is there a
problem launching or pulling a boat & trailer up a common boat ramp.
The ones in my area are fairly steep. I'm concerned because I know that
some traction is lost on wet, inclined surfaces. What's your
experience, anyone?
