This is a very nice top of the line coach. This is not a fiberglass and plywood motorhome, but aluminum walls and aluminum skin. Excellent running and low mileage Cummins 250 h.p. diesel engine. 6 gear Allison transmission. 3 cylinder Kubota diesel generator. This coach runs and shifts perfectly, drives down the road great!. All 6 new Bridgestone tires, six new batteries, 2 propane furnaces and a diesel fired furnace. Very nice condition but it is almost 20 yrs old. I would drive this anywhere today. All fluids and filters changed. engine has 97,zero miles. 2 roof airs, nice and cold. Lots of storage, flex steel captains chairs, couch pulls out to bed. Corian countertops, No water leaks. Great dependable rv.

Posted last year.
I went to inspect it for a member.
thought it had been sold.
Here is the CL ad from DEC '13

They might have a hard time selling with no photos. Even so, and even Barth, getting $22k for a 20-year old motorhome may be a stretch, and any potential buyers should beware if the rig has been sitting unused for over a year now.

I sold my '94 "stick and staple" motorhome for it's fair value of $8k two years ago, and it might be worth $6-7k now. I don't know whether Barth construction (solid as it may be) would be worth 3-4x that amount or not.

That said, I wish the seller the best of luck. Mogan David, what was your impression of the rig when you inspected it last year?

Yes, it is worth much more than the usual cracker box RV.
Earlier ad(s) had several photos.

Kevin, I did not inspect your coach with an eye toward purchase or sale. The one in Algonac had considerable compartment corrosion. Center windshield was cracked. The floor of the shower was cracked. There was some minor collision damage. Exhaust pipe was cobbled (muffler held up w bailing wire). HOWEVER, driving it (8.3L & 6 speed Alli) was a joy compared to the Breakaway I had.

IMHO the one in Algonac, MI is worth $18K. I know owner turned that down.
