Awesome looking GMC Motorhome! I was way too young to drive during the time they were produced.

So; I just purchased a '76 Glenbrook (26') that's been off the road for a while. I've got a question for you, you mention a roof pod...
Did you just purchase a stock Yakima/Thule/etc, or did you find something more RV specific? I got half a roof pod with mine (common), think it's time to replace it. ;)
The beauty of the GMC being low is it's storage downfall.... I know I'm going to need the room!
Thanks again, and glad to see another one (a 23' no less) on the road!
All the best...

Welcome to the GMC Motorhome world! We love ours! The roof pod came with ours. It's a space saving lifesaver for sure... we can even fit our portable gas grill up there! Our is in decent shape, but we did repair a few cracks and upgrade the strap with some strips of leather. Good luck, enjoy, and reach out with any other questions!

Welcome to YT! Please invest in some decent microphones 🎤. Looking forward to more videos.

Thanks! Yeah... we've got to work on that audio! We have the equipment, so I definitely think it's a learning curve for us. And filming beside a river didn't help!
