Page 24: Promoting The Gmc Tze
As GMC owners, we are all interested keeping these great machines alive and on the road for many more years to come. Byron and I believe it is in every GMC owner’s best interest to be ready to promote these coaches when the opportunity arises. To that end we are providing a business card template available for download that shows the web address to the Internet Idiots Guide for GMC MotorHome Information. - Page 25 Out of respect for other material in existence that refers to the product as “GMC Motorhome” we have retained that term which refers to any configuration of GMC chassis and body regardless as to whether it was finished by GMC or other upfitters such as Coachmen.
