Welcome to our website Craig

In case they want a backup, this Barth (similar) has been for sale on the Tampa CraigsList for a year or so. Older, but low miles.

The Barth in Tampa is down to $4,000. now, but I had a bad experience trying to check it out, for every 5 questions I e-mailed he would answer one, a week later, it is his fathers coach and the seller knows nothing about it, I asked for his or his fathers phone number so I could get some answers, he finally sent me his number 3 weeks later but not his dad's,
Question: does it have a trailer hitch ?.
Answer: I don't know, never looked.

This went on for 3 weeks,one answer at a time or none at all, I finally decided to go see it and set it up to meet him, after a 650 mile drive I called him in the morning when I checked out of my hotel room to tell him I'd be there in a little bit, left a message, when I got to New Port Ritchey, I called again, sat on the corner of Hwy 52 & 19 for 2 1/2 hours waiting for a call back, I finally called and left a message that I was giving up and heading home, he called me back that evening when I was 200 miles North to tell me the coach was on Hwy 52, in a campground with a blue sign, he didn't know the name of it, or the address, or a cross street, and in that part of Florida there are hundreds of campgrounds all over the place, I told him it was getting dark and I would have to drive back South another 200 miles, then wander around looking for an unknown campground in the dark, I wished him luck with the sale but said no thanks, and let him know I had brought cash. I tried.

Sorry you had a bad experience but thanks for updating us on the outcome.

We've been watching that Barth since at least March of 2009.

We have better pics at this link.

I live only 25 miles from there. If you want I can try to look at it for you.

Corey, Thank you very much for the offer, but after my 1,300 mile, $500. trip hauling the empty tow dolly and the seller not being available I don't want to try again on this one. I'll keep looking.

Manuel, that's enough to p*** off the good humor man. You've handled it far more gracefully than I would have. I'd have probably called my New Joisey friend 'Guido'.
Jim

Well now the tall 30' in Tampa is down to $2,500.

I had a couple guys stop by a few weeks ago because they saw our Barth sitting in the driveway and they were on the way to look at this one. He had a price of 3g at that time. I gave them the benefit of all my Barth wisdom and they were on their way to buy this monster. I never heard back from them and haven't seen this thing gracing any local driveways so I guess it didn't go well.

I think it has finally found a new owner, listing removed by seller, I would enjoy seeing what they do to it, I had all sorts of ideas, maybe they will share their progress here ?.
