Mike this is one very nice motorhome. What pride in ownership. For someone who wants the finer things in life and at the same time travel to those little place a big coach can't get to this is perfect.

Mike:

That is one nice looking little rig. I wish I could afford a 2nd. You should have no trouble moving this unit. I'm going to email your post to some rifle match friends of mine, many of which live near Wetumpka.

I lust after you exterior finish look. It is how I dream of my 84's exterior. Was it originally an unpainted (airstream look) finish?

Yes it just had the same stripping it has now just different colors.
Took a lot of work to get the shine and really needs a little more work in some areas.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to Barthmobile.com... Mike should email you soon I am sure. Cool Band.. Are you looking for a band bus? I bet this could sleep four and pull an equipment trailer behind it...

I like your music also. We have a few musicians on the site here. We have Hawk a CW guy from southern IL, Jerry (Stringman) Aull from Atlanta, big time jazz guy with one of those huge Gibson ES archtop babies.. I bet he even uses flat wounds. I am a PRS Santana guy with a CW gig but will play anything anyone requests..

Wish you the best, this looks like a really nice coach...plus it is sooooo cool looking..

Thanks Dave!
Mostly I'm looking for a family vehicle (we have two small children), but the band does occasionally play out of town and it would sure be nice for touring!

I'm proud to say that I'm the new owner of this Barth Beauty. I purchased it yesterday and I'm taking my time driving it home to Florida. I'll be traveling the country / full timing with it starting next month. Mike was great and he and his family did a great job fixing it up.

P.S. this site provides a great service - thanks!
