New Owners of an '82 MCC

Hi, my family just took ownership of an '82 MCC. We were so excited to find this forum as the internet seems to be pretty dry on any Barth information. I spent a better part of the day searching through posts, nice to find a forum as friendly as this one!
If anyone could help us find any info on the MCC we would greatly appreciate i.e. wiring diagrams, parts, etc. And we are in great need of a windshield ASAP!
Thanks
Matt, Ashley and Nathan

Welcome to the forums!

I can't give you any help on the MCC, but there are several owners of MCC-chassis Barths (but the early ones with the MCC shell are quite rare).


Rusty


MilSpec AMG 6.5L TD 230HP; built-to-order by Peninsular Engines:  Hi-pop injectors, gear-driven camshaft, non-waste-gated, high-output turbo, 18:1 pistons.  Fuel economy increased by 15-20%, power, WOW!"StaRV II"

'94 28' Breakaway: MilSpec AMG 6.5L TD 230HP

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not.
In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Ashley, what part of CA are you? There is a place that specializes in FMC and MCC chassis in Morgan Hill CA. They (RPS) have been a help for parts with my Breakaway!

I still remember when they came out with the MCC motor coach. It is a unique coach. Interested in what drive train you have in it. looked at 1 several year ago that had a 440 Dodge engine with a 727 transmision. I read post on MCC chassies. Claims of one great handeling and riding motorhome. I know Patch likes his MCC.

Would you take a few more images and snap one of the tire tag and axle ratings inside your coach. The tag gives us a little more insight in to your vehicle history.

We've only been able to catalog 3 of the MCC by Barth coaches via tag info - your input is appreciated.

Thanks everyone for replying! I had a feeling these were pretty rare by the lack of info on the internet, but had no idea that rare! We live in Norco, CA. The motor is a V8 turbo charged Detroit diesel with a Alyson transmission. We're having some electrical and generator issues but she's a pretty solid driver. I think after some work its going to a be a great coach!





Thanks!
Matt

BTW: You never need to make the images smaller - you can send them as large as you want - they will never be larger than 800x600 when you get them off of the upload site.

Actually Olsen is a buddy of mine, and still owns it. It lives in my backyard and I am trying to get it restored so we can use it.
