Hello, got my eye on a 75 24' Barth rear bath unit. It's on the P30 chassis. Runs great, 83k on speedo, needs work here and there, certainly a project, but has great potential.

Wife and I are looking for a smaller coach, we had a Bluebird Wanderlodge and it was just too big and too many things to go wrong with.

I can work on most anything so I am not afraid of that. Think the chassis parts will not be a problem. Most everything else looks to be standard RV things.

Would love to hear any comments about this vintage. Any others in the Sacramento Ca area?

Thanks
John

Yup. that's pretty much it. A particular advantage of the smaller Barths is that they seemed to have the best floorplans. Some of them indeed managed to put a quart in a pint pot.

A short Barth with a good 454 is like a hot rod after driving a bigger coach.

Didn't know where else to put this, but wanted to show some pics of the 75. These are from the ad, I will get some of "The Brave Little Toaster" at home tomorrow.

If this should be posted somewhere else please let me know.

Thanks
John
