Eric,
Before I started folling with these things, I camped in a 72 VW bus with no
pop-up! You are right, after dealing with Bosch & Lucas (prince of
darkness), a GMC is a piece of cake.
Take my toll free # with you if you need any parts or help, you might also
sign up on the "Black List" and get hooked up in that way.
Congrats, now the fun begins!!!!
