Hey guy's I didn't as of yet get to the numbers on the casting (because I was working on my pool over the weekend)but I did check out a few things.Under the hood I noticed it has a small I.D.plate and it claims that the W/base is 157 upon measuring from axle to axle I came up with almost 159 the plate also says she weighs 9000lbs.Also the vin.under the hood has a different number than the one above the drivers seat.Is there one for the p-30 chasis and one for the completed barth? The original owner had left some instant photos(KODAKS)of when she was once hit at the entry door with some minor damage at the step pullout as well as to the left and right of the entry door,(he did tell me about it) and he said that the door was replaced with a slightly bigger one.To the left side of the door there is a 25(still there) and below that the aluminum is a darker limited where they made room for the bigger door thus they must have removed the limited sign.You can only see one of the rivet holes thats left.Also the back of her has no hump which are evident in the pictures that Dave had sent me.I am going to try to copy down the casting numbers today to see what engine is in her . I am a little confused at all the conflicting information I am finding out about her,Any Ideas? Thanks in advance!!!!!

The chassis has its own vin# and Barth gave the completed coach a vin# too. I think both of them are on the build plate above my driver's side window, but the coach is in storage so I can't check it right now. You might take a closer look at yours, and see if they're both there.

The vin# under the hood is definitely the chassis vin. The "orange book" manual shows that as the location.
