The latest episode features Larry and Miranda exploring the pros and cons of replacing the factory engine fuel delivery system with an EFI replacement from FiTech in a classic GMC RV, but the same principles apply to any owner of a classic vehicle.

BY Jim Bounds—I know it’s hard to believe but there was a flaw in the chassis circuit wiring in our coach. I say flaw, actually every GM vehicle of the era was wired exactly the same so I’m not sure exactly why our coaches are more susceptible to this problem but it looks like they do.

BY Jim Bounds — Many people ask me, “What is the best way to tow a GMC Motorhome?”. Thats a very good question in that the coach is so low to the ground. But this question is also relevant for any front-wheel drive campervan or rear-wheel drive RV that are also close to the ground. Let me explain…

BY Marco Kathuria—Another episode in a series featuring interviews with GMC Motorhome owners and members of the GMC Motorhomes International leadership team.
BY Mercedes Streeter–American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson is often quoted as saying “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” While this may be true for most adventures, many drivers of large RVs would rather just get where they’re going than continue to handle their whale of a coach.

La Crosse Technology 5, 15, 30 or 60 Minutes Cube Timer (White) ($11.95)
reviewed by Marco K.
We love our little cube timer and would recommend it to anyone looking for a discrete and reliable timer for a countertop, shelf, or table.
I attached a small Velcro square to the back and to the back edge of the countertop in the galley to keep it in place while driving our 1973 GMC Motorhome from point to point.
My morning routine is to turn on the water heater, flip the cube timer so "60" shows on the top surface. I then prepare coffee and breakfast. When the cube reaches zero, there's a long, loud beep to indicate time is up. I then flip the heater switch off and flip the cube timer so the "0" is facing up. The perfect morning ritual.
It's a wonderful little gadget and works like a charm.

Canon EOS M50 Mark II + EF-M 15-45mm IS STM Kit (Black) ($699.99)
reviewed by MyMHL Team
We use the Canon EOS M50 MK1 as a "C" camera here at mymotorhomelife.com.
We use the Canon EOS M50 when a small and portable setup with minimal rigging is needed. A full rig is attached to the EOS M50 SmallRig cage which sports nato-style attachment points. Occasionally, we'll connect a hot-shoe mounted BeachTek 2-channel audio mixer. Video monitoring is either through the built-in EVF or depending on the shooting situation, using an Atomos Shinobi monitor connected to the Canon EOS M50 with a high speed HDMI cable.
This test footage was shot using the Canon EOS M50 in both 1080p HD and 4K modes using an SLR Magic Anamorphot-50 anamorphic adapter attached to a Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM taking lens which itself was attached to a Canon EF to EOS M Mount adapter. Overall, a very heavy lens setup! This lens configuration was held in place with a SmallRig lens support which itself was attached to the camera rig via 15mm rails from Zacuto. The test footage was edited in Final Cut Pro and quickly graded with Film Convert Nitrate.
The Canon EOS M50 Mark II is only $50 more than our trusted EOS M50 MK 1 but offers a significant upgrade: clean HDMI out for livestreaming or when sending the signal to an external recorder such as the Atomos Ninja V. Canon have improved the autofocus and eye detection on the Canon EOS M50 MK II, but in every other regard they are identical cameras.

Tempaper Removable Peel and Stick Coverings for RVs and Campervans ($35.99)
reviewed by MyMHL Team
We really like the TemPAINT, TemPAPER, and Oxdigi solution because the products are shipped by the roll, allowing for easy unpacking and application. What’s even better, is that you can experiment with different color choices to see what works and what doesn’t.
We applied 6 different colors over the space of a year or so and finally settled on three primary accent colors. We’ll be revisiting the interior accent colors of our 1973 GMC Motorhome next year to experiment with some new colors and treatments.
Using TemPaint is so much cheaper (and easier) than having to constantly repaint!

Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller with 20’ Mosquito Protection Zone (Blue) ($39.99)
reviewed by MyMHL Team
Easily the most effective and convenient mosquito repellent on the market.
Placement is key, so you must take wind direction into account, as the product description mentions. Additionally, having a rechargable device is far more reliable and convenient than relying on the availability and monitoring of a fuel cell.
I found that by placing a pedestal fan a few feet away from our seating position and allowing a slight breeze to pass over us -- but perpendicular the Thermacell e55 -- its effectiveness was improved.

AutoLine Pro EVAP Smoke Machine Leak Tester with Built-in Air Pump ($129.99)
reviewed by Rich Williams
I used this to check for car exhaust and intake vacuum leak. It only to a couple minutes to fill duel 3" exhaust with x pipe which was a surprise. It appears I could do 2 or 3 more cars with the amount of oil supplied. Another good point is you can also use baby oil. I do wish either the hose or power cables were just a 3-4 feet longer, but it worked great, no issues.

Good product. At first I ran into some problems with the power cable. I contacted the company and they replied very fast, very polite and very helpful. They offered to send me a new power cable, an extra smoke fluid bottle, no cost!!!Everything working perfectly now. Highly recommend!!

This item works very well. From day 1 of purchasing this product I could tell that the owners behind this business put every piece of effort into keeping the customer satisfied.Have used this about 3x already to smoke out problems on cars and it helped to find stuck evap vent valves, leaking vacuum hoses, and found a leaking gas tank filler neck. Unnebeatable price compared to a snap-on or other tool. If you're a car mechanic this machine will pay itself off after 1 or 2 uses max.

I thought it wasn't going to work properly, since i tried on my daughter vehicle change the Gas Cap that was the only place a noticed smoke coming out, need to work on it once again. I was looking for the Air line connection and realized it had a built in compressor that was even better!!!! worked on my jeep and was able to find that small emission leak code. Overall!!! It works ASWOME!!!!!!

I will consider amending this review depending on company's response. I received the product Saturday morning via overnight shipping because it is a long weekend and I need this tool to diagnose my car this weekend.Opening the box everything looked to be of sturdy material. the instructions were easy to follow and the assembly went very simple. I hooked the device up to a battery and followed the instructions on warm up and use. It worked perfectly and i was very excited for the car to return from being driven that day to find my evap leak.when the my car returned i eagerly went to attach the unit again and get a quick test before it got dark. NOTHING! No power, no heat, no fan blowing. I swapped out the provided extra fuse eventhough the original still looked good. Still nothing.Im beyond frustrated at the prospect of it being friday night on a long holiday weekend unable to diagnose/fix my car as intended. I emailed the seller and as expected only received an automated reply. MyMotorhomeLife only directs me to contact the company.I will break out the multimeter and see if i can troubleshoot but this should not happen on day 1!!UPDATE:Company was very responsive considering it was a holiday weekend. I would give 5 stars for them as a company for this reason alone.They sent the suspected replacement parts and they were received 09/06/23. They also included an extra bottle of fluid for no charge. A quick test of the new part and it looks good for now!! I am changing my review to 4 stars because i cannot give 5 based on what happened. However, I will say that if i hadnt encountered the issue i had i would have gladly given 5.I am grateful for the support I received and i would give the company a chance again. My thoughts may change if it breaks again lol
