    Those GMC Motorhomes are super cool. I have seen a couple on the road and they have always intrigued me. The styling is still relevant and must have been very futuristic when they first came out. The remodeled one you saw in the museum was awesome.

    • @AbomAdventures
      @AbomAdventures  3 года назад

      That style kind of reminds me of the Delorean, they just have a sort of timeless look to them no matter what year we're in.

    Thanks for the tour, it brings back so many memories as a kid and all the camping we got to do in a 16’ terry trailer. It got kinda crowded with 4 kids. The GMC was a favorite, as you know it was the “urban assault vehicle “ in the movie Stripes. Thanks again, JB San Diego.

    Growing up we had a family about half a mile from my house that had two ultra modern looking motor homes (this was in the 70's early 80s). They were white and "similar" to that "modern" GMC. The nose was longer though and more space age looking. Though the rest was similar. They were super cool looking and as I recall super pricey. They reminded me a bit of the vehicles used in "Damnation Alley". They had a big family (I think 8 kids) so they had 2 RV's to go camping with. WOW...
