A few years back the GMC MH group had one of their 'round ups" at our county
fairgrounds.  A friend, who is into 'real' motorhomes, and I went out and
walked around looking at them for an afternoon.
There were literally  hundreds of them from nearly every state. Most were in
excellent shape; a few were beaters. The floor plan was varied which allowed
for all kinds of permutations. IIRC there were several lengths available,
depending on the year. The overall design is very space conscious and the
non-drive trailing wheels allow for the maximization of the rear floor
space. The low profile is what really attracted me. In asking questions and
being 'forced' to tour several of them we discovered the real reason why a
lot of the people owned them...the culture .  They were a great big family!
If I ever decided to go from 'camper' to 'motorhome', the GMC would be my
choice.
