Nice job on the interior update and keeping a small patch of the original materials and colours is brilliant. A surf board mounted to the exterior side wouldn't look out of place.

You did a WONDERFUL job of the tour, the customizing, the efficiency - and I'm sorry your husband uses your passenger seat as a foot rest:) 1st of your series I've watched. Will NOT be the last. I would have liked to have known the basic cost before refurbish/customization, then the total at time of this tour. Though, I REALLY appreciate the naming your sourcing for accoutrements. (Oh, would like to know solar, too.) 35 years, Lucky man. Tell him to get his feet in order, or else! :) *Oh, you did mention wireless for boonies:) TV is satellite, I presume? And internet? How spotty, and/or where spotty? Some wireless dongle plan, or cell phone hotspot? Thanks! That was GREAT! *Apologies, if/probably many of those answers in other of your vids. REALLY good job, all around. Cheers!

Starting from before the buy, the trials & errors, all of it. What a joy.

@@ournewneighborhood581 Thank YOU for the wonderful rsource; an obvious labor of love. I've had a file on this dream for about 2 years, and am close to pulling the trigger. I can't imagine after all the due diligence you & your husband put into this, that you were ready to & did pull the trigger in the spring of 2020! Sad, but kinda of funny. Will go back and red more on how you handled it, later. I'm a lifelong drummer, music major and thinker, who will be hoping to get in with a traveling gypsy community - for safety, education & inspiration. As I plan the back room to be a small studio where i could teach, in addition to odd jobs, busking, gigs and a Java certification - security will be a big conconsideration - when out biking for groceries, etc. You may have addressed that, and I have yet to get to those tips/considerations. But, in case not, please post some tips on securing your GMC, and viz towing, ticketing, late nigt police inspections/rights, etc. I was a cab driver in SF for 9 years, and was pretty privy to whereour homeless & drug addled communities parked (mainly on the indistrial outskirts of town; and their experience with police & neighbor complaints. (Which I think have been dialed back during CoV; complete with sanctioned & serviced encampments, visible on public lands. Though, that is sure to ened sooner than later. Many, many thanks for the gold you and your husband have provided on your blog. Cheers, @

I love the look outside on the Eleganzas, but the inside looks really cramped.
@AlexSack3 жыл бұрын
If you look @ at other GMC MHs, they don't seem so cramped. (Though, relative/in eye of beholder, etc.) The GMCs are considered roomier feeling, & actually, as no drive train/a lower floor -hence, center of gravity. And roomier rep also much to do with airplane fuselage shape & large/lotsa windows -bringing in light, etc. (Not sure this video quite captured those aspects. Was great on upgrades/customizations orientation, though IMO.)

This is one of the best thought out RVs ever built. You two did a fantastic job on it. Another guy on You tube replaced the big Olds engine with a Diesel out of a Hum Vee and expects to get around 20 MPG on the Highway. That would be nice. Defiantly big enough for 2 people. Especially if you get a nice awning and have it set up to spend a lot of time outside on the good days. I wish I was that lucky. God bless you on your journeys.
