Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / (UPDATED ) A cold weekend in Florida means to me…..just stay warm……

January 18, 2021

(UPDATED ) A cold weekend in Florida means to me…..just stay warm……

………. My Florida wimp is showing……..Eleganza used her weekend well destroying a box…..and loving every minute of itI hope to have a bit of a surprise for you guts this week…..lets see.

I’ll be back later today with more, right now I need to get to work……see ya later

FUEL TANKS……..

Like eyeballs we each have 2!  We have 2, steel 25 gallon 4 1/2″ deep tank slung under our low to the ground motorhome.  There’s 56′ of vent line alone plus feed, return………. 4/2″ deep, making a hard long curve you might run out of gas!  What a mess!these are printed out fuel tanks, Ethanol in our fuel contains water and alcohol……..In steel tanks this causes rust.  Here’s a fuel sender out of a rusted tank….think what the tank looked like!New senders costing close to $300+.  OUch!  That means like $600 just for new senders! OUCH…OUCH…! If you open your tank and find rust, if you can find a shop to clean and coat each tank it’s usually $5–700 per tank!  Mommy, make the bad man stop!  3 unique filler hoses being held hostage to the community!

You could have $2500 in bringing you fuel delivery system to maybe a useable state.

Is that not you?  Have you been pumping fuel in and burning it out since before you can remember?  Is that you?  Understand there could be bad Juju in there!

So if THIS more like what you find.  An aluminum tank could be in your futuremost are installed here in house but we have shipped if we can talk thru the install with your tech.

And as you can see we’ve had to replace a few as you saw above…..

Abbey Normal is checked out ready to accept a program……… I want it to dance first!  Pick a song…..im thinking Bernie Hancock…..

picked up a new….old…..tire machine.  Our old one was older….and died!  One more good thing………thanks guys for the good karma!

…….So if you put a GMC on there it could be named Nautilas.!!!!!

Thanks for your attention, we are working hard for the future of our classic machine.  Didn’t think it would take 29 years but we’re there now!  The future of vacation travel will be by RV.  Hey and the GMC is the Rolex of the RV world.  It’s amazing, exciting and a pile of work!  Your coach may be the only one in the county and YOU have the Nic name of that coot with the old bullet rv……. But that’s not all there is ….im walking out my coach to show you’re not the crazy ole coot…….…….and MY headquarters…………  It’s a movement!  Still no frig but I’m getting closer…..had no time!…stay tuned!…….. See ya later…….

    Thanks!
