GMC Motorhome Tour with Jared Kohl (Ep. 04)

Another episode in a series featuring owners of the #gmcmotorhome discussing their experience of buying, upgrading, and using this unique vintage RV.
#Summary: Jared Kohl, GMC Tidewater Crabs president, takes us on a tour of the interior of his GMC Motorhome. Jared shows us the custom upgrades and heaps of additional storage space in his coach and describes some of the key features that make his 1975 Eleganza a pleasure to travel and live in.
#Background: Built by General Motors using automobile assembly techniques, 12,921 GMC motorhomes were produced from model years 1973 to 1978. Over 7,000 are currently listed at the GMCMI.com international registry. Estimates suggest that at least 8,000 to 9,000 of the original production run are still in operating condition.

Cool! Thanks for the tour!

You bet!

Sufficient sleeping arrangements for 2 adults and 2 children, but it sure has a lot of storage space. Probably kind of warm in the summer but love the fact that it has so much window area.

[@MyMotorhomeLife]

We own a 26 footer which comes with additional sleeping for another two adults. Very handy.
Yes, it can get a bit warm but many folks opt to install two rooftop AC units instead of the standard, one. Also, custom blinds with solar shades are invaluable at keeping the temps below intolerable levels. Finally, we have two sets of awnings (left and right) which make all the difference, esp. on super hot days. But then again, we're usually out-and-about on such glorious days anyway. :-)

@@MyMotorhomeLife Yes. I saw another video of another owner. It appears this one had a bed removed to install additional counters and drawers.

I just couldn't finish this. He said "um' so many times, I was hypnotized!
