Welcome to the Barth Community! cheers A friend and I both bought Barth coaches in early June and drove them back from the mid-west to Seattle without incident. Hope we can cross paths soon. Where is home?

Wow... and I thought my adventure was notable. Midwest to Seattle? That is impressive. Home is east of Everett.

Wow, looks like we are getting a pretty good west coast collection of the Barths. So 200 miles from Portland huh. I am just over 150 miles in Belfair.
We just might have to have a west coast or just a Washington get together sometime.
Welcome to the club. This site is awesome with tons of knowledge and advice.

Thanks guys. Yes, I've been doing some reading about upgrades, parts availability, etc. I'm in the information gathering stage now. Wondering if anyone has successfully upgraded any older motorhomes (particularly MCC) with S-cam style air brakes? Seems like a good way to eliminate some potential trouble... but a significant challenge to piece it together.
