Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The NEW Co-op: It’s all about how society communicates…………

I have been away from here a bit and have had frustrations with trying to help folks with their vintage RV.  You know when you do something over and over knowing it’s not a very good way to do it but hey…it works?  Well guys, the next generation has figured it out, my sons have shown me the light and if you will come with me you’ll find a new way to increase you GMC experience.

So if you haven’t guessed by now, I have some verbiage coming, strap in I think it will enlighten you.  Not too mean motorhome shots….well, here’s a few and then please lets get back on focus:

That’s the fabled 26′ GMC/ Workhorse Duramax Turbo-Diesel and it’s little brother 23dand then there is the “Great Oz”with the entry door on 1 slide, the other side deploys the same 23″and yes, we here at the Co-op have made all of these over the years.  Today, our latest delivery sets a new bar for where the vintage RV world is headingand you will not see how this machine was done on any social network , forum or that sort of communication.

My Mom retired as curator of the CDROM collection at a college, at that time “read only memory” was what was thought would be our next communication medium.  That’s all gone now, we think social networking through Facebook, other platforms of the type will give us what we need and we’ve been paying ourselves into it…….

So, you want to learn something…..you pull up Facebook and search the subject and what you find are self professed gurus arguing about thing that mean nothing to you!  How someones cat likes to sit on the dash, a guy never wears a shirt..I guess it must be something about his bare skin.  Someone asks a good question and the pile-on begins and pretty soon the thread gets onto politics and the freaks come out of the woodwork!

WAIT…I wanted to figure out why my windows leaked!  The social network platform has morphed into a 24/7 soap opera devoted to things you though you wanted to know.  Spend 4 hours on that mess and will have forgotten why you went there and are now convinced putting silly foam in the crankcase will quieten noisey lifters!  STOP, I wanna get off!

I am no longer lending support to those useless social networking platforms, I don’t care that squirrels eat from someone hands….that’s not good for the animals or for future campers…..but moreso than that I am not interested.

What I AM interested though is in helping folks get the most out of their vintage RV investment.  My Mom was a teacher and wether I like it or not…I do…I am one too.  After 28 years of tearing these coaches up creating outrageous machines with these GMC’s and other like machines, I CAN help folks with their questions and interests in this classic vehicle.  But I will nt do it for those that have other agendas wanting to pull me into the social network blackhole.

PATREON.COM is where you will find me.  Go there and search for “Motorhome Rehab Ranch”, you will find me and the information you seek.  The video education internet platform is the next way to learn exactly what you seek.  Go to video sites…one I particularly enjoy is”Techmoan”.  It’s about early hi fi music playing mediums….Sounds crazy, I mean you know about 8-track, cassette and CD…but there were other interesting formats that got us to where we are today.  Techmoan goes there and Motorhome Rehab Ranch will be where to go to learn about your GMC getting away from all that other crap you thought you had to put up with.

Too much verbage for one day.  Co-op Coffee….for those GMCers with Jamaican blue mountain coffee on their minds…we have something for you.  Patreon is making videos for you and The Co-op is here to help you with all of your GMC needs and desires.

More tomorrow, that’s a pile to digest for today…..see ya tomorrow.  Oh, sigb up on Patreon at the $5 level, call us and get your free tool box Co-op work T shirt, bumper stickers and a full year of all the Co-op bata base, videao, my personal cell phone number and anyother thing you need to make good decisions about you and your coach.   If this is what you’re looking for, you’ve found it.  If you re looking to make people look at you, and you want to rule a thread and have people think you are so cool and so knowledgable that your just so special…brother don’t come to my web site, our Patreon site and I personally wish you would just sell your coach and bother someone else.

See those that care tomorrow
