Are parts andservice available?The GMC Motorhome Community is fortunate to have several specialty stores/dealers/service centers and cottage suppliers. They are very important to the future availability of the selection of specialty parts we need to keep our “Classic GMC” on the road and vital. Without good parts availability, the GMC would be relegated to a corner in some museum as many unique vehicles have been over the years. As our coaches get older and parts become more scarce, in manycases obsolete through the normal parts distribution network, we must rely upon and support our GMC specialty parts dealer base.Where possible and needed,do not hesitate to contact one of the GMC specific suppliers we list in this magazine, pages 27-29, and gmcmi.com. Cultivate a relationship and rely on these suppliers to help you with your parts needs. You will find them knowledgeable and eager to help you, since after all, “YOU ARE THEIR ONLY CUSTOMER”.We need them and they need us, so working with them is a “win-win” proposition. As our coaches get older, these suppliers will become increasingly important to us and our “Classic GMC” so turn to them in time of need.Did you know that there is a section of the GMCMI.com website dedicated to this wonderful community!check out...The “GMC Community” tabGMC Community CalendarA calendar consisting of dates, locations of Conventions, rallies, luncheons, etc.Compiled Lists:• GMC Motorhome ChaptersA listing of GMC Chapters and groups, also available on page 6.New in this issue of GMC Vintage RVing is a “GMC Motorhome Chapters” section, see page 32.• GMCMH Suppliers & Service List The website hosts the “GMC Motorhome Marketplace” that offers Full Service, Parts & Repair Facilities, GMC Motorhome Parts Suppliers, New Parts, Used Parts, Wanted, and Motorhomes For Sale.
