I was hoping that some of the old GM dealer employees that post here might have some memories of the Discoverer.

Looks years ahead of its time
I don't recall ever seeing a Discoverer on the highway or at a dealer's lot
Clohecy Pontiac sold them? I lived near them, don't recall seeing any motor homes for sale there.
The most common 'class A' motor home on a GM chassis had front wheel drive [[a Toronado/Eldorado powertrain) and 2 rear axles. Still see some of those on the road, they held their value well.
But I know nothing about that futuristic looking Discoverer 25.
[[I Did not work at GM dealers until mid-70's)
Added- Googled the Discoverer, incredibly it had a Dodge truck chassis, yet was designed for fuel economy. Strange engineering- it had a pump from the holding tank to the exhaust to incinerate sewage?

Hello there, that waste-destruction system you refer to was the Thermasan system produced by Thetford in Ann Arbor. Ironically, Rectrans had a 27 foot model that utilized the FWD Olds Toronado drivetrain back in 1970, before the GMC was produced. Only one of these lower FWD units were manufactured, here's a photo:
