Just some observations---- possible several new rivets under the front windshield; don't understand why the side (black area) looks so dented in at the rivet sites; no directional lights on the front of the coach (appears that the amber light on the side may be a directional, however these may not be legal in all states because they are not on the front); diamond plate under the door; also notice that the tile is cracked on the steps and it appears that the tile is heavy ceramic which adds a lot of unneeded weight to the coach.

To me, it looks like several things have been altered and should be checked out thoroughly. JMO

Here's a thought........why don't you just call and ask the guy?
I have communicated with him on two occasions and he has been very forthcoming with info.

Good grief! The guy is trying to sell his motorhome and its a Barth. How about some positive rhetoric.

Jim was just musing, which can be beneficial.

I will be doing the event at Beeville TX. Looks like this coach is just north. If I have time, (will be limited) I could swing by for an eye on it. I will not initiate contact but can follow thru for others if need be. send me a PM for my contact info.

Muse away. I prefer direct contact to eliminate any "guessing".
There have been times in the forum where folks get a little to critical and then the "hand-slapping" comments start. Just taking a positive supportive approach for the guy.

Kevin's comments where of that nature.

Hope it checks-out well and the coach finds an appreciative owner.

One of the biggest gripes I get in my PMs. I'm not a fan.

The guy is just trying to sell his coach and the market is bringing a reality check to the speed in which he chooses to sell. He can hold on for a higher price or he can choose to lower it for a quicker sell. It happens when someone sells anything like this... capitalism at work.

I think the coach looks pretty good , especially for 26 years old.
Yes, it has some flaw's , needs a couple improvements , some personalizing , and the price dropped some. (my opinion )
But, if i was looking for another Barth coach ,I would be calling the owner. Nobody know's what he will take for it , money talks .

I certainly was not trying to inject a negative comment.
As a retired law enforcement, with 40 years experience, my first observation was the lack of directional lights on the front of the coach. I was trying to be helpful in the fact this could cause a problem with a safety inspection and could present a problem to a buyer.
After that observation I just noticed several other things.

Thank you to MichaelR for getting this tag. More pictures to follow.



The best guess I've got on the vin# is

46GED0410J1041652

That comes up as an 88 chassis. Most DMVs will register as an 88 if the new owners doesn't register it again in the same state as they buy it.
