It was one heck of a motorhome for its time. The Winnies were boxy, assembled atop truck chassis and drove like overloaded trucks. The GMCs were designed and built by GM using a front drive Oldsmobile Tornado arrangement. I towed a couple of different 18' outboard boats a couple hundred miles each way to lakes in NM. Due to the front wheel drive I put an additional trailer hitch on the front end just to launch the boats on steeper ramps.

Here is an old GM sales brochure. https://www.gmcmi.com/wp-content/upl...s-Brochure.pdf
