1977 Birchaven
Goshen is a 23' Birchaven. Most of the 12,921 GMC motorhomes manufactured from 1973 to 1978, were made entirely by GMC at their Pontiac, Michigan plant. They came in two sizes - most were 26' in length, but a few, like Goshen were only 23' long so they could fit in a standard parking space.
Making Goshen even more unique, is the fact that the Birchaven model had their interiors fitted out by the coach company Coachmen, instead of GMC. Premium changes Coachmen made were to use cherry wood throughout the interior, and they even included a mini-bathtub in their bathroom layout.
Goshen can sleep up to four on its three beds. The front dinette becomes a double bed, and the rear couch becomes bunk beds, with an upper bunk that kids love, and a double size lower bunk.

The details
A desirable 23' Birchaven in VERY original condition. This coach had a bunch of work done by Sirum GMC a year ago:
* Engine was replaced with a freshly rebuilt one (engine provided by Sirum GMC, who also put it in) less than ***2,000*** miles have been put on the newly rebuilt engine. Receipts available for this.
* The sewer system was also completely replaced and a macerator added.
* all fuel lines were replaced with ethanol-safe fuel lines.
* built-in Power Watchdog surge protector
* built-in pressure regulator on water inlet
* soft-start A/C upgrade.
* Has original Onan generator, but output voltage need adjusting
* Original roof rack/ladder
* Ragusa entry step
* Backup camera
* choke converted to electric - intake manifold exhaust crossover blocked off permanently by having our local machine shop fill the passage with molten aluminum
- There is some wear (sun damage?) on the base part of the driver and passenger front seats and on one corner of the dinette seat - See the last 2 photos below for details.
67,062 miles on the clock, but less than 2,000 since the engine was replaced with a freshly rebuilt one supplied and installed by Sirum GMC
