could someone please list the models and wheelbases above the 30' Breakaway's 172"..?

Breakaway, Regal and Regency..say up to 36' overall body length? Interested in mainly Cummins pushers but want to see what else is in that length realm..

Does the Barth CD have all this info AND is it still available for purchase?

just trying to get educated...(no matter how much of long shot that might be Smiler )

Tnx, Mike W

lets try this again re: wheelbases of units from 32' to 36'..

Does the chassis manufacturer make a difference in WB length even though both body lengths are, say 34'?

were the WB's different also, if the unit was built, say in the 1990's?

I saw only one ref to WB's ( that I could locate) and that was 198" on a '90's Regency w/ a Gillig chassis.. Others?

There are Spartan, Workhorse, John Deere, Gillig, MCC, and GM (and probably others) chasses.

Go to the Ad, Brochures etc, and the Barths for Sale (there are threads for several models at the top) sections; you should find some info scattered among the threads.

For the 32 to 36 range there were only a few GM chassis used. During the 80's the coaches over 31 ft had Neway tag axles added. They used the longest wheelbase available at that time, 178 inches.



By 90's most of the gas coaches were the John Deere/Oskosh chassis. I'm not sure what wheelbase/lengths were used on the Barth coaches. There were a few coaches up to 33 ft and one at 36 with a tag axle.
