I think I am beginning to be able to spot these things, I would be willing to bet the data plate would prove that is a 33' Breakaway trying to be sold as a 34' Regency

I couldn't see where it's called a Regency, but it's most likely a Breakaway (propane generator). The longest Breakaways were 32' (apparently nearly 33') except for a one-of-a-kind '97 34', which was nothing like prior Breakaways...

I tend to agree that it is a Breakaway, 230 HP Cummins is more then likely a B5.9, There are quire a few comments that aren't really true in the add.

I see claims about MPG all the time, but 12 MPG @ 70 MPH Ummmm don't think so! I struggle to get 11 MPG and I am sure that I am much lighter being 30 ft.

The other thing about the 33 foot Breakaways is they used 22.5 tires and the trans will probably never shift into 6th until 75. Darrel Moore has one and that is his report.

Keep in mind the location is Canada and their gallon is about 5 of our quarts. Bigger gallon equals higher MPG.

The issue of "What is a Breakaway or what does it have" seems to be recurring and just to make matters worse, the one I just bought has at least two features that are at odds with what are commonly found on them.
Mine is a 1993 that is 36 ft long and has a diesel generator.

Hi All, Wow!Thanks for implying we are liars..Regency???? Sad!It is our Barth for sale in Calgary! Sadly financial situation forces sale.Far as I know it is all true....especially the m.p.g. Gary was right Imp.gal = 4.55 litres....U.S.gallon = 3.78 l....do the math....10 mpg for you guys is 12.037 mpg for us....has 22.5 rubber....also goes into high gear around 62 mph if not full throttle....I guess it is probably a 33 ft.breakaway after reading on here....it has 33BS-1B in vin....hard to find info other than on here....Thanks

I would guess this is the Scalzos' former coach. They traded it for a larger SOB in '06. It was based in west central Florida (Apollo Beach) for a number of years.

Just curious, Is that Canadian or US dollars?

In Steve & Lori's defense, I can't see anywhere in the ad where they claim Regency. The length could very well be off by a foot, and we've been over this before regarding bumpers, so cut a little slack there.
I've seen this coach when Don owned it and it was very nice. The milage and tranny issues should be worked out if anyone is serious about this coach, but in this particular case, maybe you should do your own homework and not be too swayed by the "pundits" around here.
Now that I've P-d off some loyal members, I'll just say sorry, but I think these folks were done wrong, and if I'm wrong, well it won't be the first time!

Danny Z - you are right on the money.....I don't see either where they said Regency, so, maybe I'm wrong, but given the data tag limited info, I also believe it must be a Breakaway.

I, for one, appreciate and respect all the knowledge shared here, and sometimes it's easy to jump to conclusions, or read something that just isn't there.

Hopefully Steve and Lori can understand that most of the Barthers (and future Barthers) who come to this site are somewhat like family....we all speak our minds freely, share our successes as well as our frustrations, and generally do all we can to help each other.

I was originally very interested in buying this coach. The problem I ran into was with the dealership in Nashville. He would not provide very basic information and was beyond rude. I believe I posted those results here. As you know, I ended up buying the Stagecoach.

Hi again, Thanks for the support......true the Nashville guy didn't know much about Barths...it seems to be the same model as here on gallery page 10 top 3 pics....which claims to be 34' ???also....same floor plan also.....however; thanks to wealth of info on here......33BS-1B....mfg. Feb.11/93. will post complete tag info.after next visit to storage yard....haven't had any trans. problems???Drove Nashville-Florida-Calgary problem free....according to service records;original speedo seems to have been replaced around 41 K miles...Thanks, Steve

Steve, have you ever been called a "one man paparazzi show" before?

I thought I would point out an older post to you.

How dare you force that man to eat MickeyD's!!! That's right, we've known about you for some time now....

But seriously, do you have photos that you can send me of these two Barths together? bill_ny@barthmobile.com

The funny thing is, my wife says I suffer from CRS aka Can't Remember "Stuff"
