Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / Supply issues are causing production problems…….

May 20, 2021

Supply issues are causing production problems…….

……… Seems like main production parts are back orders with the timetables say “on the water”.  I guess it stood they don’t say “not in production” .  That has caused troubles.  Aluminum 16″ rims are on backorder….on the water.  Roof AC units are backordered……… Internal engine rebuilder parts……… Rebuilder parts production is 6+ weeks Bridgestone tires are out of availability…… Had to wait 2 days for a set of Firestones!

See, it’s not just us backlogged…… Many distribution lines are really messed up, as more folks coming out of their Covid cocoons looks for stuff……stuff will be harder to get…..sorry.

rechromed bumpers are part of that problems too.

It was amazing yesterday….. I stayed on the phone pretty much all day.  We have a couple of you guys getting the Serpantine belt system…..i tell ya you shouldn’t have to worry about throwing fan belts anymore…..whats it worth to say that!

A new product warning.  Here’s a factor of home design and materials changes.  New laminate floor progress is going to really long, wide planks and large pattern colors.

Hate to tell you but our GMC Motorhome floors are not flat.  The bigger boards assume it’s being put down on a flat surface…. The floor joints bow and will not lock in and even pop out when put down.

Plus the wide stripes makes the tight interior seem smaller!  No pad backing these new designed panels cannot work well in our application.  Smaller planks, a tight lock, smaller color patterns and a foam or pad backing……. Be sure NEW STYLE doesn’t burn you too…………

In the last 2 weeks, we’ve been able to halo 2 couple find their GMC, we have one purchased up in Minnesota I think…..its being trailers down and an other couple is looking at a 23′ coach for the 2nd time…..meeting them at 10am……you guys are really come on to these machines……didnt think it would take 30 years but I’m happy for all the interest…………

See ya tomorrow
