This amazing machine was bequeathed to me by a my friend, Meric before his death this last summer. He went by the name BubbaBarth on this site. It is time for Bubba to find a worthy partner so I'm offering him up in hopes of finding him a good home.

New pics to come soon. The photobucket pics represent the outside of the coach very nicely but the inside dining and cab areas have been remodeled. Thanks again

I was not aware that Meric passed away. sorry to hear that. His last post seems to have been August last year. For the year or so that he was in this forum, he was an interesting contributor. If he meant for you to enjoy the Barth he had, too bad that is not in your future.

I wondered about what happened. He was a site regular until the end apparently. Sorry to hear he is gone.

Good luck and hopefully we'll find that coach a good home.

Yes, sadly Meric is no longer with us. He lived here with me for the last year of his life. He was my best friend for over 10 years and is missed daily. The Barth is just too much machine for me. He was the Gearhead in the family sort of speak. I think he would be cool with me selling it knowing that I will use the money to pay off my student loans and keep the farm that he loved so much alive. Thanks for the sentiment y'all. Tell you friends about BubbaBarth. The price is negotiable Smiler

if I understand correctly, the interior is now incomplete, and with a desk sort of thing where the coach used to be, right?

Are we referring to Meric Christopher Hovind who was only forty something?

I always found BubbaBarth a good and interesting contributor. I went through his post last night and he must have been a good spirit.
I hope the sale of his barth spreads his goodness

Yes we are talking about Meric Hovind. The interior has been modified, yes. I know where the original parts (hideabed and two smaller benches) are and can access them readily.

Dave -

If you don't need the hideabed or smaller benches, I might be able to use them... I'm assuming the benches are probably dinette seating?

Thanks for the response Don. At this stage I'm going to hang onto them in case someone would like to reinstall them. If it winds up that I still have them after the Barth sells, I will let you know for sure

Would it be possible for you to post the DOT date code from one of the tires?

Are the Alcoa wheels and the tires, shown in the slide shown pictures from a few years ago, Still on the coach.
Did the P.O. provide any service or repair history with the coach, when Meric picked it up?
Thanks
