Hey Guys,

I'm not an old hat, but theres a Barth on EBAY I've never heard of.

Regal, Front engine, Cummins Diesel, Oshkosh chassis.

Looks real nice.

Thanks for the link....I'm not that techno-savy

Moved to Barth Sightings.

It looks like there is sticker under odometer stating it was changed out at 55,000 miles...so 73,000 total

I don't know of any Cummins 5.9L rated at over 230 HP unless there are aftermarket add-ons. The 8.3 was in some cases rated at 240.

I don't recognize the shifter; it's not a C6 (3-spd). The braking system would be interesting; it doesn't seem to have been coverted to air.

14k-16k GVW Cummins 5.9l with hydraulic brakes - based on 2 vin# crossovers.

Wonder what fuel economy one would experience with a FRED? Would the Cummins weigh more than a 454? I've never seen an ad with so many pictures.

Another drivers side door! An interesting mixture..proof positive that Barth would definately build it anyway you wanted!!

Considering the size of the doghouse on this one, a driver sided door probably involves no more climbing than getting into the driver's seat from inside.

With both a picture window and a skylight, this has to be the brightest bathroom ever seen in a motor home.

Looks like a nice coach. Would be nice to see data tag. Floor plan looks like a 28' fp3, can't see where the extra 4' of coach is to make this a 32'

I just got off the phone with Matt, the salesman for this coach - he is going to grandma's house with the kids - will return on Monday. I have sent him an email requesting pictures of the data tag.

Will post what he has to say then.

What I know so far is...
- He doesn't know for sure what the HP is - guess/assumption from his diesel mechanic based on the "feel of the engine".
- Picked it up at a bank auction with a bunch of other rvs.

I also included a link in the email back to this post so if you have any questions, post them here so he can see.

here is the link to his website where they have it listed for @ $17,998

I also do not think this is 240HP engine, getting the engine number off the timing cover would tell.

Wouldn't be a C6 behind a Cummins,

A 8.3 is MUCH heavier then the 5.9L and don't think that would be in the front of this coach.

I was guessing the OEM engine was a Ford 7.5L; a C6 would have been common.

That makes sense and would answer alot of questions.. but if the vin #'s say 5.9
