I will try and remember questions that I've been asked and provide the answers.
This page too is a work-in-progress so come back soon.

If you have questions that have not yet been answered, drop me an email.


About this website:
I'm not just looking for a buyer, I am truly looking for a good home for my GMC. It is with that goal in mind that I'm trying to do my best to describe my GMC in an honest fashion on this website which is now dedicated to finding my GMC a new home. Of course I'm hoping that as a side benefit it will cause you agree with me that my asking price is good value.
  • Why are you selling?
    The GMC was more Office than RV for us. Before the Internet we would travel to trade shows and do occasional on-site demonstrations of our computer software. Since the advent of the Internet we can now do the same and never leave our office.

    Border crossing between Canada and the US used to be fun but since 9-11 it is far from it so we now think long and hard, as in: do we really have to or want to go there? In most cases the answer is no so the GMC sits and sits and sits.

    Sitting is not good for any piece of machinery, whether it be computer or vehicle, so I decided to find the GMC a new home. I know I will not get what it is worth, especially to me as I know what has been spent on it, but I will know that it will be able to do what it was designed for, making its occupants comfortable.

  • Why all the gauges and switches?
    I like gadgets. Perhaps comes from my background as a corporate pilot, perhaps just natural curiosity. Long story short, I like gadgets and being in the computer business only enforces that like.

    Many of the gadgets are extras, I.e. the motorhome works great without but they provide information which might just help to prevent a break-down on a deserted stretch of highway.

  • Some comments re the upgrade to ported fuel injection
    Not sure what Ported Fuel Injection means? Most of todays fuel injected engines have the fuel injected directly into the cylinder, at the right time of course. I.e. Ported Fuel injection.
    Ported Fuel Injection differs somewhat from the Throttle Body Injection (TBI) method. A major difference is that fuel is delivered to the ports at a constant pressure. Fuel not needed is returned to the fuel tank(s).

    The GMC proved a bit challenging due its two fuel tank design but treated as one. To make the system more suitable I had baffles installed for the fuel intake in one tank and a dedicated return line to that same tank. That basically means that 3/4 of the total fuel is available without switching tanks. If the balance is required a transfer pump is available. Probably some room for improvement, but it works.

    The fuel pump supplying fuel at the required pressure is electric. Two pumps are installed in parallel with one running at a time. Should one fail a flick of the switch turns on the other one. Micro filters are installed in the supply lines to give best chance at only clean fuel reaching the engine.

    Components used are stock, I.e. pumps and injectors are current and usually available at your local parts store.

    Electronics are of the Accel family: http://accel-ignition.com
