This gorgeous turnkey GMC motorhome was the late Mr. Wes Caughlan's (founder of Cinnabar Engineering) personal motorhome. After purchasing from Wes in 2013, we contracted with Cinnabar for a complete stem to stern restoration and renovation. No expense has been spared as we continued with meticulous maintenance and upgrades from Cinnabar and other GMC craftsmen over the years. It is now time for us to sell her to another GMC afficionado to continue and share the pride of ownership and enjoyment we had traveling in this classic and beautiful motorhome.
