    The family of one of my friends in Junior High had one of these in 1974. I really liked its futuristic appearance that still looks contemporary today. How this never became immortalized in styrene plastic kit form by AMT or MPC is still a mystery to me . . . .
    Thanks for sharing this with us!

    So wonderful to see! We had one! Wonderful memories. I drove it, age 18, through South of France.

    You don't buy a GMC Motorhome, you adopt them. I have a lovely 1973 Canyon Lands

    Wish I had one! I've had a large motorhome which I thought was too big. I wasn't very comfortable driving it.

    Boy do I remember the Shasta Campers. All the neighbors had one in the driveway! I would have loved one, but our family had a cabin instead. Needless to say, we didn’t do allot of road trips 😅

    How do these things tow? They're FWD so I wonder if launching a boat would be a problem.

      I have a Baja 190 and a 77 gmc. I don't feel confident I could launch the boat with the motorhome.

      @@markst.germain9286 especially not one with front wheel drive. I used to have a 19' O'Day trailer sailor. Kept it on a pier with a ramp. No need to step the mast. Used a Plymouth Voyager to launch and pull out. Once the tide was too low. I asked a guy with a 4X4 if he'd help. He pulled the boat out and parked it for me. Very neighborly in a small NE seaside town of about 6,000.

    Why didn't GMC convert it into a 12- 15 seater mini Greyhound ?
