Classic RVs to rally in Big Bear - Big Bear Grizzly
The GMC Pacific Cruisers Club, a chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association, is in Big Bear Friday through Sunday, Aug. 7-9, for its Into the Woods Rally. GMC only manufactured motor homes from 1973 to 1978, making about 12,000, with about 9,000 still registered worldwide today, according to Ben Price of Sugarloaf. He organized the Big Bear rally along with his wife, Mary. “It’s kind of like people owning Harleys,” Ben said. This is the first GMC motor home rally in Big Bear, but Ben said hopefully it won’t be the last. The gathering of classic RVs takes place at the Convention Center at Big Bear Lake, 42900 Big Bear Blvd. , Big Bear Lake. Admission to the event, including a camp spot for Friday and Saturday nights, is $120 for a one-person coach and $140 for a two-person coach. 1, but there was still room for late registrations as of Aug. 3, when about 10 RVs were expected to make it to the event. There are at least six GMC motor home owners living in the Big Bear area, according to Ben, but not all of them plan on attending the rally. Activities scheduled for the rally include beer tastings and a visit to the Fun Run 2015 car show on Aug. 8 in the Village area of Big Bear Lake. And for those who don’t happen to own a classic 1970s GMC motor home, the rally will be open for members of the public to come by and check out the RVs. Source: www.bigbeargrizzly.net
