OH - 1976 Barth class C in Dayton
Yes, Route 4, duh!
I almost stopped and asked if they were interested in selling it about 2 weeks ago - but considering my past success with such inquiries (none!), I decided to drive on...

Good luck with the project!

I am glad that you got this Barth because I know it is in good hands and will be taken care of and used.

Any chance that your son is old enough to drive and this is his next ride? Big Grin Tooling Along

A little history on this one. I use to pass this Barth about once a week. It was about a mile from home. Thought about stopping in and seeing if they might give me a call if they were to sell it.

Next thing it was gone. About a month or so I saw it again. Stopped by once and no one was at home.

It had been givin to Goodwill, Auctioned off to a used car dealer,bought by one of there employees who then took my offer on it.

Made money for Goodwill and a 2nd life for a Barth.

P.S. I sent two pics off door handle with broken lever. If some one could post them under swap meet, looking for parts.

Thanks

Update on Class C.
New dual exaust on.
Coach batteries work but on end of life(2 behind step)
Chassie batteries(Has 2 under hood), 1 on pass side to starter, driver side only has 8g or 10g wire only.Starts as soon as I turn the key.
Fridge is 12v only.
Interior lights all work but 1.
What I thought was a painted coach is 90% patina aluminium.(I see a polishing job comming.)
water pump making noise. will be replacing pump and fan cluctch.
Tires were made sometime in last century.
Gen turn over. wont start
Has auto heat hot water heater.
Have not checked out propane system yet.
Engine feels strong, tranny shifts good, fluid looks good, brakes feel good. Steering feels tight.

Happy with it so far,
