After much painstaking discussion, me and Robin have decided to sell the Barth. After all the man hours that we put into it we thought we would never part with it but times and circumstances change and it needs to go to someone who will get the enjoyment out of it that we can't, I put a lot of effort into trying to have an older motor home without the headache that can come from a older motor homes. That is why we got the Barth because of the quality of the foundation they are noted for. I have tried to fix and/or replace anything that can and will go wrong not to say something will not happen as we all have to live with "Murphy's Law" at one time or another.But that is why we have have Coach.net and a cell phone. I will get some pictures together with a list of things that have been done to it. Anyone interested may call us @ area code xxx-xxx-xxxx most anytime. It is easier to tell you than write it down and I have a Ton of construction pictures. we would like to get $12,500 for it. we have a lot more than that invested, if anyone is interested let us know. Can send pictures. Thanks Richard View Slide Show

Sorry to hear you're looking to sell, we were hoping, and still are. to see you at the GTG in December. I'm sure all of the folks that were there last year will echo my sentiment that this is a very nice coach.

we plan on being there with or without the Barth we hate to sell it also but i hope whoever get's it can enjoy it and i will know all my work was for the good of the Barth Motor home and will keep one more on the road. I have often thought of starting a Barth Rescue because i have seen some scraped that i know i could fix besides i really love working on them. This is my 3rd one and will not be my last.

My wife and I [retired age 78] are in the process of recovering from rather major INTERNAL DYSFUNCTIONS! Rather than abandon completely our intent to purchase the newest large size Barth we could locate we have decided to search for ANY age medium to small size Barth in exemplary condition. It would appear that we may have found a wonderful candidate in your restoration.

When you get around to adding additional photos and/or information we would be most grateful to receive/view them.

Best wishes.

Several of us have seen Richard's Barth; the restoration and upgrades are exceptional.

Richard's an RV tech in Real Life, and he knows his stuff.

Richard and Robin, I don't know how I missed your post of 06/21/09. I too am sorry to hear that you are selling your Barth. I hope to be able to stop by the FL GTG in Dec. (Barthless) and see you again.

Kato, Richard also builds race cars, so the rebuild was not just a facelift, it's beautiful from the ground up.
Dick, hope to see you in December again. There will be plenty of chow and you are very welcome, with or without a Barth.

It appears that someone got a fine coach. I hope the buyer becomes an active forum member as well!

Richard,
I am sure that was a tough thing to do to sell the Barth, and sorry to see it leave Florida , but you never know maybe there will be another Barth in your future some day for you to restore as well as you did this one...

Richard, those of us who have seen it know he won't be disappointed. So what are you bringing to the GTG? You said previously that you'd be there even if the coach sold. I don't care if you come in a CruiseAmerica rental, as long as you show up!
