Hi Jim and your team: Why hasn't someone carried on manufacturing GMC. Seeing it was designed for the future (Just like the 747 Jumbo). What a master piece this vehicle has become. Such a shame. But thanks to you and your Team for giving them a new lease on life and happy camping. I sure enjoy your videos.
Coosa board good stuff, pricy. I used it to rebuild the transom in a bass boat. I used two 1/2 inch pieces with fiber mat epoxy between the two and the usual fiberglassed in. You will not find anything stronger and lighter. Actually maybe overkill
My brother welded in a gusset system last year and it helped a ton! I had a pretty good bow going. We put in the gussets and installed the new subfloor (I went with advantech that I painted with exterior paint) and my floor has no noticeable bow any longer.
No precedent for any manmade device to last 45 years? My commercial espresso machine is 67 years old and still working perfectly with minimal maintenance.
Jim, I love what you're doing. Would love to show you what I've been up to on my coach. 230 1974, full frame off restomod, learned so much from you. I can't find any coosa where I'm at unfortunately
Could you show how the coosa floor system is built? Is it coosa board, aluminum sheeting, and then mylar bubble foil? Or is it coosa board, mylar, and then aluminum sheeting? In what order from top to bottom? thank you
Would you use Coosa board to rebuild a new engine cover over the Edelbrock manifold I plan to reinstall? Last time I used 1/2" plywood to custom design the cover. It was stolen along with the engine parts, mirrors, rear bumper, radiator, air pump, front grille and more.
@@lsee6145 Regency Realty (Management Company in Orange, California) "sold" nine GMC Motorhomes from MGM GMC after they evicted the shop owner. Yes, one was mine. By California DMV law, they were supposed to perform lien sales. Instead, they collected $200 apiece to "get rid of them". I found my GMC on RUclips and am in the process of reclaiming it. All of the stolen parts were taken while the coach sat in the rear storage yard, an inside job most certainly. Lawsuit next!
Look it it, they have outlets….. I have 8 sheets in Utah, we’ve decided this floor and bulkheads can still be used. If your coach is apart though and your floor is bowed….. why not.
OOf!! I know this is an old vid, but dang, that is an expensive mod... 1 sheet of 3/4" Coosa (96"x48") is nearly $400!! I can't imagine how many sheets the new floor would have taken!
@@jeffshadow2407 "4x8 sheet 1' thick around 500 bucks" @ 8:58. They are $611 per 4x8 sheet now. And that's before shipping or taxes. Sticker shock indeed.
True and we’ve decided Chads coach doesn’t need to go down that far but if his interior was completely coming out and his floor had been compromised we were ready. Watch because we are doing this build without going Coosaboard crazy! Btw, if you need to do it….. I’ve got some material in Utah for ya

It’s all about the money…… it’s coming though, stay tuned

Tensional Strength is the force when an object is pulled from each end not bent .
Ive heard great things about this RV. I still want one❤❤❤
Appropriate upgrade to make this last another 45 yrs, thx Jim and associates

This is great as always! I would love to hear more about the gusset system. Thanks Jim!
There’s an into video, call me after that until we can get more info out . Thanks for asking
Love all the info. Thank you so much!
I would love to get ahold of one of these.eventually
Awesome info Jim what flooring did they install on top of the coosa? Is there a video? Thank you in advance!
The B-52 of motorhomes....still going and going and going.
With updates and adding new technologies… you no longer thump gauges to get a reading……..
Just bought a 79 26 footer, interior is out. Need to replace floor. And ideas about all the interior. What should iI do?
Hi have you looked into fiberglass honeycomb panels very strong and light weight and used in aircraft
That's my question too!
You can add weight to your coach without mileage, performance or comfort sacrifices. Serious, don’t use lead but pretty much do what ya want
Jim during your presentation, I noticed that the windshield glass has got air in it and now there foggy. What does new glass go for?
I live in Utah, I have 5 or 6 sheets of CoosaBoard. 3/4". Sell for $267 per sheet.
Jim, I love what you're doing. Would love to show you what I've been up to on my coach. 230 1974, full frame off restomod, learned so much from you.
I can't find any coosa where I'm at unfortunately
Got some in Utah if you need it. We’ve decided this coach doesn’t need it
One question about the gussets? How many do you do? One at every cross member, or every other one?
We were never lucky enough to get these motor homes in South Africa.
They fit on the deck of a boat….. don’t let that stop ha….. that means though I’ll have to get a passport!
that is a lot of work . . didn't know !
Could you show how the coosa floor system is built? Is it coosa board, aluminum sheeting, and then mylar bubble foil? Or is it coosa board, mylar, and then aluminum sheeting? In what order from top to bottom? thank you
Thanks for the question, we did a video on he process and why, take a look at that and stay tuned……
I hope you hire a better welder for those gussets. Holy splatter welds Batman.
I’m not selling “fish” anymore, I’ll show you how to fish….. you weld them up. We’ll have a “kit” to help you though
@@motorhomerehabranch No fishing needed, just better welds.

Hate to point fingers, but your thief was probably an owner of one of these :>(

any more information on how you do the wall/roof insulation?
Thanks for the question, stay tuned, I’m doing that on Chads coach coming up
Jim, where can we buy this Coosa Board for our own rennovations?
There's a place called coosa board you can buy it from

Takes 5-6 sheets. If your floor is compromised it’s the best way to make things better
No precedent? Have you ever heard of a little machine called the B-52?
Look at their updates and maintenance done over the decades to keep it viable…. Doing that to the GMC is what we need to do
Wow $500 a sheet. Bit of sticker shock there. But does sound worth it in the long run.
Four sheets for $500, from the video.
