Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The Co-op: Oops, had too much fun today………

Gotta start getting used to that!

So as promised let me start a conversation about my bet close to half of the Facebook threads are about coaches that are for sale…..how to figure out is one you are looking at is any good and “what I want first is to feel confident a coach is a good platform to build on”.

I hear ya…….. Literally I field calls every day folks trying to figure out enough fast to be able to recognize a good and not so good of a coach.

Actually every coach has value, the thing is to recognize the positives, the negatives and how to improve that specific coach……what what will that cost.

I have counciled enough folks by now and can tell you most first say they are looking for a mechanically sound coach……….hate to burst your bubble brother but that’s pretty hard to find.  You can spend big buck even flying out to look at a coach……..they are from coast to coast so your investigation could be expensive.  Plus, when a new owner looks at a coach there’s many things to consider on a 45 year old home AND truck!

Yeah, I know ….long winded again……here, we are going to begin a focus on getting viable coaches to folks looking for them.

NO, I still don’t want to conjure up that “car salesman” thing.  What we are talking about?  We see many coaches offered up, many are exceptional coaches in the rough.  We will evaluate each coach mechanically and living area functions.  We will produce an interior and exterior video so folks wanting ” that stable platform” can have a bit more input to make that selection decision.

I hear ya…..THATS a salesman!  The profit we seek in these sales is more focused on creating work for the shop.  I mean you can take it home just like they are or decide what you would like an experienced should should do.  Half of our work is in full restorations which means half of our business IS focused on updating survivor coaches.  So lets create more of that business.

Getting new folks into these classic coaches is the key to keep them alive…..we want to help that happen.

Give us a bit to get things formed……we currently have several coaches we can help you get into if it’s the right one for what you seek.

Ok I’ll stop but maybe through all that maybe you can see our cloud in the sky.  Lets get it down to earth.   There’s just too many new enthusiasts out there, we need to do more.

As soon as I get smarter, I’ll give you a link but for now I’ve done several videos on coaches for sale……for now, pull up YouTube and search for “Jimbounds”.  They are all there……….I’ll figure it out soon!

So stay tuned for more on this and if you are interested in picking up one of these classics give us a call…….407.857.5777

Talk to ya later, thanks for dropping by
