GMC Motorhome part 1

We just bought a 1973 GMC Motorhome on a whim. I was looking through a local internet site and came across what looked like a good deal. I don't know anything about Motorhomes but I managed to get it home. It was a harrowing experience as the engine is not running good. Also, it has no dashboard lights, gas gauge and temp gauge don't work. It is leaking coolant, battery went dead, but miraculously started, and somehow I made it home. She even started to run better the closer I got to home.

You bought one of the most beautiful motorhomes made. Congratulations. It'll be laborious, but hopefully a labor of love

Beautiful looking Motorhome. I'd buy one if I had someone to share the experience with and responsibilities that come with owning and operating a bad boy like this. 🙂

Congratulations.
Here in Germany one was recently sold that also had the symbol. This was used to transport NASA astronauts from the base to the shuttle. Always have a good trip 👍

Welcome to the Cult of the GMC Motorhome! I've got a 26 foot GMC "Transmode", also a "Glacier" National Park model, nearly identical to yours. I'm in North Alabama, I think maybe not far from you! GMC International held their National meeting in Murfreesboro two years ago! Mine was built in the last week of November 1973, an so was registered as a '74. Your's appears to be an earlier '73, with either a 472 or 500 Cadillac engine. About 5,000 are known and still on the road. There are huge and active clubs, such as GMCI and the local Dixielanders.

Congrats on the acquisition! And yes that looks and sounds like a Cadillac engine. Bigger and maybe more guts than the stock Olds 455.

"Almost looks like an airplane or something"...
There is a reason for that. The body/fuselage was designed by Boeing.
