Buses
don't get traded in every couple of years. . .
Neither
should Motorhomes. . .

When you build a
bus that has to cover millions of tough,
over-the-highway miles, or make hundreds of
thousands of stops and starts on crowded city
streets, you have to do one thing: You
have to build it tough.
And the big buses with the GMC nameplate
on them have, for nearly 50 years, earned their
reputation for strength and durability that
lasts. Year after Year.
We used a lot of what we learned from building
buses when we started designing the GMC
Motorhome.
Like you, we think a Motorhome should be a
lasting place. So, on top of the wide steel
chassis, we put a complete cage of heavy-gage
aluminum ribs and stringers; like an aircraft
fuselage.
Then, on top of this tough substructure, we bond
skin panels with the same techniques used on
jumbo jets. The lower skin panels, as well as the
nose and rear sections, are molded fiberglass for
an extremely fine surface finish as well as
resistance to corrosion. The roof and upper side
panels are mirror-smooth aluminum. Tough and
light. |
