Way cool, these old GMCs are great units and this appears to be in good shape. One concern, the low hours on the generator are not a good sign. Gennies should be run, under load (AC, etc) for at least one hour a month.
While it may start, I wouldn't count on it. That said, throw a couple of solar panels on top and it looks like a sweet ride.

Not just the gennies. When I was selling motor homes we would see this stuff all the time. People would bring them in on consignment and they looked like they just left the showroom. Only problem was that every seal, or rubber anything was bad and had to be replaced. The undercarriage was rusty and/or rotted and sometimes the drive shaft needed replacing too because excessive non-use lets em sag and then they wobble when you dwive dem. Low use can be just as damaging as over use in this case. I wouldn't buy iy unless I was just going to use it as a planter or paper weight.
