The novelty has worn off, I guess. This is a GREAT coach and we have had a lot of fun with it. As the listing says, it runs great and looks great. Everything works well.

Thanks, Mary, for adding the link.

Mogan David, I don't understand your critique.

Barth motor home construction was simply a carry over from (patented) Barth travel trailer construction. Motor home construction was not what is was for the purpose of gas mileage or rust prevention.

What really matters is it's not stick-and-staple. Let's stay on topic, which is that kokoken's Barth is for sale.

And to extol the merits of the Barth Motor Coach. We should all do whatever we can to promote the value and sale of these motor homes. They are truly unique and our comments should focus on that

We saw Ken's coach at the last Milford GTG. It's a nice one.

Ditto.
surprised nobody has posted an opening bid. But, it is not over for another week.

My beloved Barth has a new home in Harvey, ND. A nice retired Marine is on his way in it back to North Dakota.

Congrats on a completed sale. Nice coach, for sure. Do you/he still want your spot for Milford III? Let me know!

I will ask him if he wants to attend Milford but he lives a long distance away in North Dakota.

Please open up my spot to anyone, though.
