Kent,
I think the Revcons and Travcos have pretty much the same drive line
configuration. The Revcons are certaintly well finished, much higher
quality that nearly all of the new ones and most of the GMCs I've seen.
Having said that though, trying to find someone to work on them is a
definite problem and there is not the support for them that there is for
the GMCs. I watched a windshield get replaced in a Revcon and the only
facility here in San Diego that openly declares that they work on them.
The entire fiberglass cowl must be cut away from the coach, (the coach is
bult around the windshield)the glass removed, new glass reset, then held
in place while the mastic sets (1 week) using tie-down straps that wrap
around the entire coach. The glass is part of the structure of the
coach. After 1 week alls the fiberglass has to be redone. Incidentally,
1 week after all the repairs and paint work, the glass cracked again on
that particular coach.
Don't be too alarmed by the posts you see here. They only represent a
about 1/10th of the GMCs out there. The support here is great but to put
it in perspective, maybe you should just read the invaluable info on the
web sites and keep a selective eye on the net. If you buy one there are
folks in nearly every state that will help you inspect it.
There are some real beauties out there for sale that most likely will
only require routine maintenance and upkeep to keep on the road.
Hope this helps,
Steve
