Randy Grubb and his wife were on the way to Scottsdale in the "Decoliner" today. They spotted the GMC 49er Lucky 13 Rally in Red Bluff, CA from the freeway as they were going by and stopped in. It was cool and they were very gracious. We had access to the upper deck and all the doors were open. It's definitely an "Art Car". Big fun!

GMC 49ers "A White Elephant and More" Rally

2011-05-22T06:59:00.000-07:00

by Doug Norton

The food is good, the company too
Unless you wanted to see Mr. MaGoo.

Over thirty folkses
all but Manny with coaches.

Jim K boiled his fluids
to show off the vaporlock trutheds

Many did not do a presentation
but Deo did a craft session.

The white elephant session had a blue hue
with stuff most definitely not new

Only one of the three off color gifts was a hit
and a face or two turned red a bit.

A newbies couple from San Jose parked by uses
and a couple with coil springs paid first time dues

If a bell doesn't ring you can shake it
If a word will not rhyme I can make it

But that will prove one not a poet
ask me why cause I know it

There is a big flea market or farmers market in the morning
a short walk from our places of mooring

The breakfasts have been rather fruit filled
but the BBQ stuff had our guts filled

I have a camera but no pictures
Perhaps Sharron can share with u hers

I might take shots of some coaches
and feeders at the morning eating sans roaches

This is a clean spot with a heated pool here
we failed to bring golf clubs or swim gear

We loved the chance to take naps
but the wind would blow off our sun caps

It was cool but not cold and great for sweatshirts
too many people only had teashirts

Full hookups are a bit of a bonus
and the trains close by were not onerous

Manny is a bit behind his promised timeline
due to a shock that tore up his breakline

My new hubler front end moved from Monday'
so I will come back to see him on Tuesday

On Wednesday I will join those much poorer
and will remember the pain in my sholder

If the install goes well with the front end
we can do our trip via South Bend

to see relatives north up Winnipeg
but we will burn oil by the megakeg.

The Wi fi here works quite well
but the speed that it has is not swell

No motors blew up on the way here
not much else would make a Jim K cheer

Jim came sans coach and just talked
Many was sans coach but stayed and watched

I am all out of ryhmes and getting tired
I keep your hours - thats nuts for those who are retired

Irene is doing well and she would enjoy life
a bit better if you were here with your wife.

The winds carry grass pollen and whats next
Is we will run out of Kleenex

I wrote a lot but the truth may be hidden
between lines if I was a poet real driven.

We had 33 folks if I counted right
with two kids with Bill Boulton who spent one night

two first timers and a Jim K who blew in and out
We had one SOB and it stood out

What more could I say without a doubt
I know my words have all run out

There you have it in a nut shell
But I regret I can not rhyme well

Doug Norton

As most of you know, the Reitz and the Friedman's have volunteered to host our January rally in conjunction with the Western Area FMCA rally in Indio. Having been contacted by several people, I felt I should pass on the following info to the group and hope I am not stepping on the Reitz and Friedman's shoes.

The form for registering for the FMCA part of the rally can be found in your FMCA magazine (Oct, Nov, or Dec) or on the FMCA website www.fmca.com. You can register via mail, email or by phone. The pre-reg date is up to 12/30/10 afterwards you can still register, but it will cost you $10 more.

ALSO HERE
http://gmc49ers.com/feb07/next.pdf

If you have any questions about this, please fell free to contact the Reitz, Friedman's or me. The information regarding the 49ers part of the rally will be coming to you from either the Reitz or the Friedman's.

Hope to see everyone there

ALAMEDA RALLY TECH TOPICS

2010-11-29T17:06:00.000-08:00

A new Skirt Lifter Kit was introduced at the GMC 49ers 34th anniversary Harbor Holiday Rally at Alameda, California.

If you have installed the quadra bag system, you need to check out the new Skirt Lifter Kit which allows you easily hinge open the OEM GMC skirts anytime to inspect, adjust and clean your quadra bag system.

This complete kit was developed by John Chalfant for his 1978 Birchaven and has been road tested for over five thousand miles. The kit utilizes stainless steel continuous hinges to attach the top of the skirts to the coach, and a special magnetic latch assembly which holds the bottom of the skirt firmly in place. The magnetic latch is rated to hold 16 lbs.

The kit is available from Applied GMC for $149.95 and it includes complete installation instructions. It takes less than two hours to install using simple hand tools.
http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/1029

Now you can lift your skirts and show em what you/ WEve got! Check your line and airbag pressures, twist your valves and rinse off those airbags anytime!"

TI TECH TOPICS

Even though there were no tech presentations, there were a lot of impressive tech topics

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT
Carlo and Stephen (new owners since Auburn) have a newly installed (by them), - rebuilt engine. During one of the moves at TI, the engine quit. A bunch of GMCers helped push the GMC into a parking space and this amazing Duo, ( with the help of DougJ and others) located the problem as a mechanical fuel pump failure (a new unit) and the young owners, attacked and replaced the pump while the Blue Angles flew over their Coach. Way to go, and a nice technical presentation at the same time ;>)

GMC BRAKING AND AIRBAG SYSTEMS - AT AUBURN

Chuck Aulgur, JimK, Rick Flanigan, friend and Mechanical Designer.

AULGUR --REACTION ARM --BRAKE SYSTEM

Rick offered to take his personal coach with the Aulgur Reaction Arm System and the Limited Slip Differential .to the Crusiers rally. We were able to do a panic stop, but the Park staff made us quit as we
went over 35MPH and violated the 5 MPH limit. JimK

Read here to see what they will be talking about at Auburn.

There will be a small fleet of GMCs with the Reaction Arm System at the rally,
maybe you can score a test drive?

Auburn fairgrounds has a relatively large parking lot where JimK will demonstrate the difference between a good stock braking and the reaction arm system. Jim tried this at the rally at Morro Bay last weekend and and was almost thrown out of the park for exceeding the 5MPH limit. This doesn't have to be a high speed comparison. The difference between the stock tendency to have a front end dive and a rear rise vs the reaction arm level braking is quit evident.
Come see it. FrankC

AUBURN -- NUBIES ---

2010-04-22T18:24:00.000-07:00

there are a bunch of Left coast Nubies. I have sort of lost count, and a bunch of them are Lurkers. You are a Nubie, if you feel like one , (I do, and I have been at this for over 10 years;>)

I don't know how many were at the GMCMI ( since they don't report anything about the rally;>) but the rumor is it was more than 10)

there is a lot of FUD factor that goes on here, on the net,and we often scare off the new folks we want to stay.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD)

A few of us,(the vocal, technical, types) do most of the posting on the net, and yet, there are 7,000 other owners out there , not on the net. It is often lost, about ; "what am I getting myself into?" that has always plagued the new owner.

THERE IS MORE TO GMC LIFE THAN THE GMCnet) - not for me, but for lots of new folks.

So I am inviting your to come to AUBURN - meet the real folks, ask the experts, and see what people are doing and using their GMCs for... fun and learning.

http://www.gmcws.org/events.htm

This is where you: find GMC things, find sources, see things, meet GMC folks, meet each other, it is a real learning experience.

Have you ever looked a (one-name person like "Manny" in the eye?)

I hope you come, and I hope you learn
