Seller Write-up
1977 GMC Royale Motorhome
This is your chance to own a Man Cave on Wheels. Why build one when you can just drive in and hook up? You can park it at the house or take it camping or tailgating. This is a 50-year-old motorhome that was ahead of its time and is in great shape. You’ll be the envy of your friends, neighbors, and other GMC’ers.
It has beautiful walnut walls and cabinets, with white leather captain chairs and two matching barrel chairs. Fridge to keep the ice, beer, and snacks cold, a built-in bar for your favorite beverages, and a small functional kitchen to make your favorite snacks.
Best of all, it has your own bathroom—no wandering back to the house or across the parking lot. If you need a nap, there are two twin beds in the back. This is a complete Man Cave.
Located on the south end of Whidbey Island, WA.
This is a well-maintained motorhome. I’ve enjoyed it for the few years I’ve had it. Time to let it go so I can concentrate on my 1976 GMC, and I’m too tall for the twin bed.
This motorhome has never failed at getting attention from other GMCers and the general public. You can see that in the pictures.
It’s ready to travel, all systems GO. I just took it on a shakedown trip to the Columbia Gorge (330 miles) after the rebuilt Manny’s transmission was installed. It performed beautifully with no issues.
Full disclosure: the Onan generator runs great but does not produce power. I never used it anyway.
