We have had our 1977 GMC motorhome (Edna) for a couple years and are documenting our experiences repairing and upgrading the coach and occasionally going camping too! My educational background is in electrical engineering and I'm an amateur mechanic and very hands on so this channel documents my adventures as I try to make improvements and learn a lot along the way. I hope you enjoy and learn a few things!
GMC Motorhome Winterization and Water Line Blowout
It's time to put Edna to bed for the winter and a big part of that is getting all the water blown out of the fresh water tank, water heater, and the lines. There are a few other things to take care of while we are at it.
Here are some links to the parts and supplies I used.
Air line adapter:

GMC Motorhome Oregon Coast Trip
Переглядів 8662 місяці тому
This was our long trip for this year. We drove about 1,200 miles all together and had a great time staying in a great RV resort and exploring the Oregon coast. Here are a few links to places we visited and we would recommend to anyone who visits the area. The campground we stayed at: seaandsandrvpark.com/ Tillamook Cheese Factory: www.tillamook.com/visit-us/creamery Devils Punchbowl: stateparks...
GMC Motorhome Cracked Exhaust Manifolds
Переглядів 4863 місяці тому
On our last long trip I started to hear a new noise from the engine. I was afraid it was an internal engine noise but after removing the fender liners, I found a big crack in the right manifold. I guess it's time for new manifolds. I got some used manifolds from a member of the GMC motorhome community and had them resurfaced. I sourced all the other parts from various places online. Here are th...
GMC Motorhome AC Service
Переглядів 5654 місяці тому
When we got Edna the dash AC worked great and it was really nice to have some cool air to balance out all the heat coming from the sun through the front windows. Well, after the first winter, it didn't work any more and I didn't really know what to do because of how old the system was. I decided to get a recharge kit from Ebay that was made for old vehicles and included some stop leak. It worke...
GMC Motorhome Macerator Adapter
Переглядів 5575 місяців тому
I stalled a macerator a few months ago and it's been awesome! Super fast and easy to dump now but I still had a problem with in an RV park. I wanted a way to stay hooked up all the time and dump when I need to. I found this handy adapter online and made some minor modifications for my hose and it works great. Here is the adapter that I started with: amzn.to/3Yd5gFf
GMC Motorhome Spark Plug Wires
Переглядів 2485 місяців тому
A mouse started chewing on our plug wire boots and my records indicate that the wires are about 10 years old so I decided it was time for a new set. I got the same type that the previous owner had used because they lasted well and seem to be great quality. I got them from Applied GMC: www.gmcrvparts.com/product-p/gm8-006-58.htm
GMC Motorhome Fan Clutch Install
Переглядів 4476 місяців тому
We have had an overheating problem ever sense we got Edna and I haven't solved it with the couple things I've tried so far. This project was replacing the fan clutch so I'll keep my fingers crossed that this helps. It's not very hot right now so I can't give it a good test until the weather warms up some more. Here is a link to the fan clutch I used, Haden 2747: amzn.to/4dVyRs3
GMC Motorhome Macerator Install
Переглядів 9857 місяців тому
We recently replaced our black tank and decided to install a macerator while we were doing sewer upgrades. It took a bit of work to get it installed but it works great and is much easier to use than the stinky slinky. We got most of the parts from Applied GMC. We got the entire kit option and only had to get a couple things from our local hardware store or auto parts store. www.gmcrvparts.com/p...
GMC Motorhome ADCO RV Cover by Covercraft Review
Переглядів 4998 місяців тому
We got this ADCO cover 3 years ago and it has held up very well. We get snow, rain, and lots of wind over the winter and it has held up well. It would probably make it another year but I'm starting to see some tears and leaking and I found a great deal on a replacement so I decided it was time for an update. Here is a link to the cover I got: amzn.to/3xSwLsq
GMC Motorhome Black Tank Replacement
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 місяців тому
We have been having a problem with the black tank leaking when it's almost full and sewer smells when driving. The black tank seems to be original so I decided to replace it. This was the longest and worse project I have done yet, mostly because I made a few mistakes along the way. I hope if you ever have to do this project it goes better for you. Here are some of the key parts and tools I used...
GMC Motorhome Collection Walkthrough
Переглядів 22 тис.Рік тому
We have a friend and fellow GMC owner who recently acquired three GMC Motorhomes and we thought it would be a great opportunity to walk through a variety of floor plans and conditions. All three of these were fairly inexpensive and will require some work and money to bring back to useable condition. Any of them can be a great starting point for someone who wants to restore one of these motorhomes.
GMC Motorhome What It Costs to Own
Переглядів 16 тис.Рік тому
This is our third summer of owning a GMC motorhome and I thought I would share what she has cost us so far. Lots of people are looking for a deal on a cool old GMC motorhome, sometimes a good deal can cost you a lot. It helps if you are handy and can do much of the needed work yourself. In the end, this is probably not a good investment but it's a fun hobby and a great way to go camping and mee...

We decided to take Edna to a car show. It was amazing how many people had never seen a GMC motorhome before. Several people remembered them or wanted to know where they could get one. Lots of people were very surprised to hear that we drove our motorhome on the road and took her camping.

The trim piece above the bunk bed was missing when we got Edna. It has always bothered us and now it's finally fixed. I really like how it turned out too!
