Is this unusual, a Breakaway with the door located midship?

No...Breakaways had doors in front or amidships.

I think that this is one of the real beauties in these Breakaways, because you can have a shorter diesel pusher with beautiful appointment's, great floor plan and side entrance, which was a $500 option.

This one is still for sale

I bought the rig last night. Mr. Hardaker is a real gentleman. Thanks to all of you who helped answer my Barth questions.

Wow, way to go Rick. I bet this is going to be a great coach for you and there will be many many adventures in the future.

I do have to respectfully correct you in one area however. A Barth Custom Coach, (especially one like yours) is NEVER referred to as a "rig". They are "coaches" as a preference. motorhomes, periodically, but NEVER RV's or Rigs.

Wow, that is one nice coach...

Rick, in 36 years, I've owned 12 floating and rolling vehicles with living accommodations, ranging in length from 18' to 45' . Some rollers were self-powered, some towed, but the rollers were all rigs, and the floaters were all boats.

I remember once mooring my 45-footer between an 85' boat, and a 24' yacht. The distinction was the size of the operator's ego, & the elevation of his nose, not the level of his experience or the quality of his equipment.

On the road, the old-timers drive rigs, the neophytes & wannabes drive coaches.

"O thank God, Olroy doesn't think of me as an "oldtimer". And I am a wannabee, I wannabee just like Olroy.

OT ALERT! The best name I ever saw for a yacht was in the late '50s in Norfolk, on a 42' Richardson: "$52,412"

A couple more boat names noted while cruising - "Shebrokus," & "Lotta Doe."

one more ODAT
OH, **** another thousand

I gotta go with Dave on this one. I've gone from a long body conversion in 72 thru two class C's and finally my Barth and to us they've all been "coaches". None of them has had a bulldog on the hood and pulled a huge SS trailer full of consumer goods. That'd be a "rig". Olroy is right on when it comes to toys of the floating kind, and this means no disrespect to his choice of terminoligy. But if after 30 plus years I'm a neophite-wannabe, how long does it take to be an old-timer?
