Hello!
i just bought a 1973 Barth motorhome. it is in the shop for a very detailed inspection. provided it passes, i will want to take it on the road. i have some questions.
(1) anybody know if there is an owner's manual available for a 1973 Barth?
(2) know where i can find some good detailed pictures of what this should have looked like in 1973?
(3) know where i can get some original furnishings to replace some of the "renovations" that were done? specifically cabinets, doors, seats, light fixtures.

thanks!

Smiler Smiler Big Grin Welcome to Barthmobile. I have sent you by email the 1973 brochure for the entire product line. I have also sent you a Motorhome Magazine ad for 1974. I don't think there was any change at all in those years.

As far as replacing the furnishings. Think, orange,yellowand brown and woven wood shades.. I love'em..

Better yet, contemplate how many SOBs of that vintage haven't been turned into mulch.
