Hi - I have a custom built Barth that I've been holding onto in the hopes of refurbishing and putting back on the road; they truly are top of the line coaches. However, she's been in my backyard for 8 years without road time and I believe she deserves the TLC only a Barth lover can appreciate. One owner, custom built for a mobile mammography service in NC, I have all the paperwork including initial quotes, blueprints, schematics, and many maintenance records. I'm not sure how to post pictures, yet, so any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

mammobarthA picture of the van is my avatar. It's a 1992, custom build, 33' coach with the following:
- data plate #9206-3801-33S13
- Oshkosh MC18FG chassis
- rebuilt Allison Transmission
- front axle: Heavy duty Rockwell I-beam suspension leaf springs with stabilizer bar
- rear axle: Dana HYPOID drive heavy duty suspension leaf springs with stabilizer bar
- "Ride Rite" air bag suspension both axles
- gasoline capacity 60 gallons (but has a leak near top of tank)
- Exterior West Coast mirrors
- Interior height 89.5" - variable as needed
- built up floor in rear "dark room"
- dual generators (I'll have to get details)
- 35' shore power cord
- Two Duotherm central air conditioners, ducted (front one was purchased brand new 7/2005 before the mammography program closed 8/2005)
- HWH leveling jacks
- plumbing and wiring for x-ray machine
- toilet and 2nd water tank
- on board water capacity - 40 gallons
- lead lined walls/doors in x-ray room (back part of coach - some has already been removed)
The interior has been gutted of all medical equipment and furnishings; refrigerator, auxiliary A/C unit, and some overhead cabinetry remains. Entrance door leaks some as the manual awning was lost in a telephone pole side-swipe event. There is a leak over the driver's seat; the side cargo door/emergency exit with two dead-bolts seems okay. It was used as a storage building/office for my bicycle rental biz I offered out of my home. The exterior step - electric, automatic, was damaged when towed to current location in Gaston County, NC.
I worked for this company from October 1996 to 2006 (dissolution). I am familiar with most all upgrades/repairs, etc during this time. There are two generators - one on the left side of coach (a 15 kva Onan??) and a giant one in the back - it's a Kubota installed around 1997/98 (not sure of size, but it was able to run the whole unit self-contained including 220v x-ray machine and film processor).
Price? As is right now (April 29), $3,000 - negotiable. Like a little girl with a pony in the city, I have no where for her to go; she deserves a Barth home.
If anyone can guide me as to how to link up pictures, I'd appreciate it - I have many. Thanks

In the Map the BaRTHS data tag project I found one other Diesel Puller. Maybe Doorman, or Nick Cagle could educate us with some information from the data tag posted here.

RustyNick and I looked over a 40' Barth of unknown history parked at a local (Augusta, GA) tech school. I crawled underneath, and it had a Cummins, which appeared to be a 5.9L, awfully small for that size coach.
There is an Iveco Barth in the UK, also a diesel puller.
One of the older Barthmobilers had a FrED, but I can't recall who.
In any event, they're rare Barths.
