I posted this before and got no answer but before I tear into it I would
like to know if there are plans, a kit and an experienced GMC 'er who has
done this.

I am going to change the co-pilot windshield wiper position and action so
that the co-pilot has a view as clear the pilots when we clean the
windshield of bugs. I'll move the windshield pivot point to match the
pilot's and attach the drive point on the bottom of the motor rather than
the top. The actuating arm has to be remade and formed to clear both the
brake master cylinder and the curve of the body.

The rest of the body preparation will be ready for painting by the end of
next week so we can't postpone this modification any longer.

Contact Ron Tase at tasemc31

Ron strecthed his coach to 31' and has done all the work himself. He also
relocated Suzie's wiper so she can have an unobstructed view of the road.
He can tell you all about it.
