Not cheap, but look at this baby. I forget how old SD's little gem is, is this a contender for the oldest Barth? http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/rvs/2291081601.html  Formerly: 1997 Barth Monarch Now: 2000 BlueBird Wanderlodge 43' LXi Millennium Edition DD Series 60 500HP 3 stage Jake, Overbuilt bike lift with R1200GS BMW, followed by 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” | ||

$4800 seems pretty cheap to me, for a completely restored classic like that. What do these usually go for? I think it's just about the cutest little trailer I've ever seen! I wonder what the weight would be on it, i.e. what kind of vehicle you'd need to tow it. | |||

You're 100% right, it's a great deal if done right. We're used to seeing unrestored ones for $100 is all! You could tow that rig with any vehicle that can handle a 3500lb hitch. Most SUVs and full size cars would do the trick or better yet, a 1/2 ton pickup.

I held out till Doris said it, but what the? I have the ugliest creation Barth ever came up with and I still wouldn't let that thing in my yard. Sorry! Just a matter of taste. 79 Barth Classic | |||

Painting classic bare aluminum is akin to painting lipstick on the Mona Lisa.... It should be a felony, punishable by 30 days in the electric chair  | |||

Personally I think the color is awesome, it's really a "period" piece that fits the 1960's perfectly. That was a popular car color back then, and I can just see it being towed along by a shiny new 1965 Chevy Impala or similar. I've always loved classic cars so the visualization is easy for me.  | |||

Some things should just shine and sparkle not be covered by paint. Now I could see a shiny aluminum body with a yellow trim line or similar to match the tow car. Aluminum IS classic, see Airstream, old airplanes etc As is it reminds me of a Hippie Bungalow in the Carribean. 1999 Bluebird Custom 33' 8.3 Cummins diesel pusher Former owner 1989 Barth Regal 25' | |||

BTW you would never paint the chrome on a classic car  1999 Bluebird Custom 33' 8.3 Cummins diesel pusher Former owner 1989 Barth Regal 25' | |||

I gotta stick up for Scotty. It looks great in yellow. It's always a Barth. It's still aluminum underneath that pretty yellow paint. Think of it not as yellow paint, but long term aluminum preservative  Formerly: 1997 Barth Monarch Now: 2000 BlueBird Wanderlodge 43' LXi Millennium Edition DD Series 60 500HP 3 stage Jake, Overbuilt bike lift with R1200GS BMW, followed by 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” | |||

You mean like this?  and this?  With cabin fever at its height in Michigan right now, this looks kind of inviting. Besides, we know there is aluminum under there. Lou | |||

I can certainly appreciate that as well, as part of what I love about classic cars is the chrome. I'm no body shop expert, maybe it was easier to paint than have the aluminum exterior stripped and shined? A message to the seller may answer that question. | |||
