We're classic GMC owners and enthusiasts!

GMC Eastern States is an affiliated chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association. Members of GMCES are dedicated to continuing and building on the legacy of the GMC MotorHome as a recreational vehicle for the ages.

If you're looking for a motorhome that offers timeless style and design, you can find it in the GMC. If you'd like an RV that is sized right; not too big and not too small, it's there in the GMC. If you want a boulevard-like riding and handling experience, the GMC has it. If you want a vehicle ready to be customized to fit your personality, a GMC is waiting somewhere for you. Or, if you're looking for friends who are also proud owners of these classic coaches, there are GMC owners anxious to meet you and share their experiences with you. Just like the vehicles we own, GMCES is many things to many people.

Stay in Touch through Google Groups

At the recent GMCES meeting in Delaware, Ken Henderson agreed to create a mailing list to facilitate dissemination of information and announcements to the membership. A secondary reason for creating an online membership group is to provide a way for members to exchange GMC MotorHome and GMCES-related information. For several reasons, that task has been delayed until now. Read more about the creation of the GMCES Google Group and how to join at the Membership link.
