 Hi Ya Fire fighter we will come over but we will need a smaller van to tow the airstream is an awseome van just to big to tow across Australia we will look for something around 12 ft with a little bit of aerodynamics to stop over heating Most of the boys when we came across last time had heavy over heating problems on the Nullarbour probably look for another kennedy or a sunliner to clean up before then If not we will come in the 70s GMC motorhome I have had some comments at the show about the bright brass badge in the middle of the dash yesterday Lyn and I are off to the Carshow in an hour or so I will post a photo when we come home tonight all the best mate Regards Willyn

Hi Guys I have been busy doing a full restoration on my 70s GMC (chevy) RV it belonged to the San Francisco fire department and has done only 43000 miles I just finished the paintwork   The 36 chevy has picked up 4 trophies in the last three months  Long way from the turtle 4 years ago this is what I went to the states for a flxble but I came back with the GMC  The flxible was an awseome looking bus but very hard to get parts for Gmc built 8000 of these in the 70s and they assess that there is around 3000 still running in near perfect condition they are front wheel drive made from aluminium and fibre glass with a 403 oldsmobile motor Thanks Reddo sending the message on the Kennedy we were in the states for a few months we are looking for a kennedy or a sunlinliner exterior must be good not worried about the interior regards To all Willyn |

Hi Reddo and fire fighter
Lyn and I will be doing a baby boomer special show at hotels and resorts around Australia Music lighting and floorshows so we will be taking the Airstream when we go
The GMC is only 26 ft and the Airstream is 24 ft so we are going to try and coincide the next nationals with some of the shows we will be doing in NSW
I bet you wish yours was overlength Reddo just like mine
40ft long now thats a challenge Right!!! and left handed too!!
Fire fighter
The unit was a radio shack or feild unit for twenty years and has the plaque on the door recognising it as such
an old guy got it an fitted it out as an RV we are working on that presently
definately the last aquisition I only have room for a sunliner now or its divorce !!!
Willyn
