They stopped making them because they stopped selling. They were selling for close to $40,000 in 1978... right in the middle of the gas crisis and when the auto makers were reinventing themselves to survive. GMC Motorhomes didn't make the cut. Rumor has it they ended up spending over $100,000 per coach by the time it was all added up. The plant was switched over to make highly profitable light trucks. The GMC Sierra series of pickups was produced in the plan and the numbers show that was probably the best decision a manufacture ever made. It was the beginning of the SUV trend in the US.

Several companies have tried to revive production but there just aren't enough RV's sold to justify a ground up build. Current manufactures build on chasis like the Workhorse, or other multipurpose truck chasis. They are into extreme cost savings, even budgetting the number of wire connectors they can afford to use on a coach. I am afraid the cost of a new GMC today would be laughable... probably $500,000.

Anyone willing to start production? The molds are available... Molds on Ebay When bidding just remember they are 400,000 lbs and you have to pick them up :-)
