Guess I'll be the first in here
For me it would be a bluebird in my Bluebird! That would be too weird!

And wouldn't it be a black-bird if all sooty???

lenny and judy
when we were looking for a coach we had three Barth,Bluebird but older,and a bus.Would have been happy with any one of the three.lost a bluebird did not see many busses. Happy with the Barth.I know that you would say to others that I paid too much.and We all paid what we wanted or we would be very unhappy with what we paid .I KNOW THAT IT WAS ON THE LOT FOR A WHILE still love it .If I could not work on the coach I would not have it.It would run me dry as they all do .Have boats before same thing, the last was a 28 foot cris with 389ci. with 400 horses and that one sunk me.Know that our club is special and wantI to keep it that way.My only question is .Are Barth owners the only ones to join or can anybody join. I would like some diversity as it is now but not any more Blue Bird Barth and Newell THEY LOOK ALMOST THE SAME.Also can we bring guest to a gtg they might see what we have and start looking.If this not welcome on the site please state so and why

From the Forums masthead:

" Although owning a Barth isn't necessary to join our community, expect us to try to talk you into one... or two!"

I think the only prerequisite should be that we honor and respect Barths and the quality they represent.

I was once a wannabee, then a Barth owner and now a past Barth owner. I grew to enjoy Barthmobile as an integral part of my social existence. Many people here have become my friends and many more have my respect although I've never met them.

The most interesting thing I've learned here is how little of the questions, problems, and advice has to do with Barths alone. Due to the nature of RVs, most of the things that go wrong are specific to many, many brands - rarely to just one.

I hope this membership grows and grows. This would be a fitting legacy to a brand that cannot now grow on its own.

It seems that many Barth owners are like their coaches: interesting, diverse, rare, unique, getting a little older all the time (but worth maintaining!) and above all TOP OF THE LINE! Rock on and keep 'em rolling!

Sounds like Lenny might be selling his Barth and wants to know if we'll still allow him in our secret society. Big Grin
