The leading online hub dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and education of classic GMC Motorhomes.
ABOUT THE RANCH
GMC Motorhome Rehab Ranch exists for one reason:
To keep every classic GMC Motorhome on the road stronger, safer, and better than the day it rolled out of the factory.
For over 50 years, GMC has had one of the most passionate ownership communities in RV history.
But owning a 1970s engineering marvel comes with a challenge: no dealership, no shop, and no manual can teach you what decades of hands-on, experience can.
That’s where the Ranch comes in.
The Ranch is a community of Ranch Hands where GMC Coach owners learn why their GMC works the way it does, how to diagnose and fix it, and how to bring these coaches back to life with confidence.
From transmissions and engines to cabinetry refinishing and everything in between, we turn complexity into clarity one video at a time.
