I'm not impressed with the drive but surprised that it handles better than I thought. the brakes are wonderful. cabin is very quiet. I would say it is quieter than my 08 Wrangler. A bit swirly I think the genset, lp tank and fresh water are placed back too far but I am not sure if there is an option.

I looked for one several years ago but they were all 25 grand. A Clean GMC was offered to me as a trade for a 6x6 last month , that got me started up again on a search. I looked for a unit that was turn key but not rebuilt . I got this for 10 grand in Oklahoma 10 to 20 is the going price now.
Tires were 5 to 7 years old so I put on a new set on last week and dropped the old 6 on a low deck equipment trailer. I scuff the trailer tires up real quick usually in less than two years. LP Tank is 38 years old so I removed it and sent it out to get new valves, gauge and fittings at an Amerigas dealer. pulled all the rubber pigtails off the lp appliances and had new sets made. I need to work the dash. I would like to just replace all the gauges with some of the hot rod gauge sets but I am not sure what is available.

I actually continue to want a PT40 '89 '90 classic to leave back east for use with RainbowRV and hope to replace my pt94 with a lxi slide for the West coast. This GMC is more of a Day Cruiser or standby fun weekender.
