Revcon Class A
Anyone know anything about a Revcon Class A? It's front wheel drive and I remember GM having a front wheel drive Olds. Anyway, it looks neat.

As far as cost to work on, the older Revcon that was based on the Toro drivetrain was considerably lighter than the GMC, which meant a lot less stress on the drivetrain. The newer drivetrain, most parts can be bought at NAPA, once you know what you are looking for. As a project, it really depends which part of the project. GMCs often get all the interior cabinetry replaced, where a Revcon, there would be little reason to. The shell and frame integrity is stronger as well in the Revcon.
I see more GMC motorhomes in actual use, not often restored to vintage condition, just in usable condition. I suspect as a project, the GMC is less expensive, and there were more of them made to serve today as a supply of cannibalized parts.
