Just a new barth owner!
Hello all! My name is Andrew, and I am here in Oklahoma City, OK. I have owned several motor homes, and even looked at buying one a couple years back that was in Tulsa.

I recently found a 1976 Barth, 30 foot? It belonged to the owners father who bought it in 1992. It has been sitting since 1996.

Ok, long story short, I purchased the Barth for $1000 dollars and I am currently doing repairs to the Barth in hopes of driving it 30 miles to my new residence. She Lives!!!! Just got her to start and run on friday, moved it forward and back a few feet to test transmission.

I am so glad I found this site. I have already fallen for her, so its too late to turn back now. Thankgoodness im a skilled mechanic, and you all have the Barth Smarts!

Welcome to the forums. When you get a chance, post some pictures of your coach and take one of the data tag that has the tire size and psi and weight rating. This tag is located around the drivers area.

Welcome! Always good to hear about another old Barth being brought back from Purgitory to be put back on the road again. As a wrench, I suppose you're already on a first-name basis down at NAPA. If not, you soon will be ROTFLMAO.

Welcome aboard, Drew. We use to live out in your neck of the woods in Pauls Valley. Enjoyed that part of the country. Good luck with the coach and keep us all posted with commentary and pictures as you progress.
