This 1978 GMC Royale by Coachmen

is Like NEW!

---

After 43 years of motorhoming (including three GMCs), we're hanging it up. We're selling our beautiful 26' Royale. The coach was built on July 11, 1978 as a transmode and converted by Jimmy Motor Homes (a division of Coachman) into its current configuration. It was delivered to its original owner in Bakersfield, California on April 26, 1979. This low mileage honey was one of the last GMCs produced (TZE368V101585). All the original paperwork is included.

We have many records from the beginning and have the original owner's manual and operating manual, as well as many maintenance manuals and service manuals, including several books of information on this specific coach that I put together myself.
This coach spent most of its life in California. It was originally delivered to Bakersfield and, when we bought it in 2013, I drove it to Texas from San Louis Obispo.

We've greatly enjoyed the Royale. It's our favorite of the three GMCs. The cab A/C and heater are by far the best of the three. They got it right in 1978. It drives and handles very well. It's in great shape and we would not hesitate to undertake a major trip in it.
