Thats right, I got so excited I might have peed a little!

Saddly the yard was closed and will not open untill monday so I could only peek from the locked gate.

Seems to be about a mid 70's 21 footer. Steel bumpers. small window in the rear, two large windows on each side.

I saw this Barth around town once before, was being used as a chip wagon. never saw inside. Owner said it had a 350.

Anyways, I'll go take a closer look at it on moday and report back again with pics. I leave town on tuesday for 2 weks so this will be cutting things close. Spread the word of this RV and let me know what parts people are looking for and I'll see if its there.

There is also one sitting in the wrecking yard in Yuma but it is in the section that you can't go into.....looks like it only has a flat tire. Confused

Ok, I just got back from looking over the Barth and snagging a few parts for myself. About a year ago it was used as a working Fifh and Chips wagon until the owner passed away. Been sitting since then. Boy oh boy have the rats moved in !

She's a 1975 20' Barth. bathroom in the rear. I'll see what I can do with putting some Pics up here.

The wrecking yard was just going to cut her up in a few days, but I worked out a deal. Paid a lump sume and I can strip anything I want thats NOT drive train. So at least its on Hold. I have a month to take what I want before they start cutting. The body of it does seem tooooo bad and I am sure some one could save her. If not, post here what parts your after and I am sure I can pull them for you and work some thing out. The dash is in rather nice shape.

I would strip as much as i could,.....sooner or later somebody is going to be looking for odds and ends. Are the windshields any good? Headlight trim? Knobs and handles? the door? the list goes on. Smiler

The steering wheel looks pretty good, and it comes off with a regular puller, and when you have it off the turn signal lever comes off with one screw. I don't need any of this but when I did I had a heck of a time finding it.

The rear corner caps are the only exterior pieces that have a compound shape....They'd have value to someone who has bashed-in their originals......

I need a headlight switch knob so I could use the headlight switch if that is feasible for you.

I couldn't see the speedometer but if it is in good shape someone could most likely need it sometime. I just replaced mine and they are not easy to find. I would think that it would also be good to snag the ignition switch.

Thanks

Poor old girl!!
Interested in the following:
1. Any interior square light covers, not cracked or broken
2. Light handle bar if it's marked Barth
3. Would like to have the front door if it has a screen door, but don't know how I could get it from you, your in Canada right? You ever come to the States? If nothing else the door handle.
4. Head light beazles if they are not pitted/corroded

Hello again !

Well I am back at work and in town with the 20' Barth. I'll be spending a fair amount of time at the wrecking yard and pulling what parts I can.

I'll have a look at the head light switch, though I know some one that is after the Whole front dash panle. It also has a screen door.
