I own a mint 1976 30' Citation Motor Home with 50,000 original miles sits on a GMC chassis with a 454 cu. in. picked it up for 3000 bucks certified, a couple of years ago, what a steal of a deal, i can drive it into the ground and have a big block for a project car, gas should be about 5 bucks a litre when i'm ready...

This is my 1976 GMC 26' motorhome. It is powered by an Olds 455 and is front wheel drive.

This was taken last October down on the Keys in Florida.

The tandem axle gives you more room inside and the front wheel drive eliminates the driveshaft, so the whole unit sits lower. I love them.

If those trailers go up for sale let me know I am interested in the first two. I am a R.V. tech and may be opening a R.V. restoration shop in the future. I am going to be looking for Restore able single axle trailers up to 20 feet. We have a trailer so we can haul them away.

We are restoring a 1970 BlueBird Wanderlodge 35' pusher. It originally came with a 534 Ford Industrial gas engine, we have a 5.9L Cummins and an Allison 3060 6 speed auto in it now. Another year or so and I hope to have it finished and on th road smile

 I am pretty sure that is a Flxible bus (no "e"). The vintage is possible late 40's, early 50's. They are very cool. Google Flxible, you will see lots of nicely restored examples
