Welcome to the Forums! When you get a chance, please post the data tag from your coach. It'll look something like this (Although this one's from my Barth):

9302-3852-28LE1

And, additional photos - especially of the interior - are always appreciated, since no two Barths are alike. You can send to the Administrator, Bill N. Y., if you have a bunch.

The original plate is on the cabinetry above the drivers seat, but doesn't contain anything that looks like the 'data tag'; it shows the date of mfg as 9/13/78 with vin#578092530MC34T-FP2B.

Closer examination will show the first number 5 is actually the letter S.

7809 stands for the year-month of completion for your coach... or September 1978.

2530 is the number of coaches sold including travel trailers and pickup bed inserts.

MC is a Motor Coach... It would be a different designation if it was a trailer.

34T is a 34 foot Tag Axle coach.

We are asking for this information because anyone who sells a 33T and claims it to be 34 Foot unit would be mistaken. We are trying to insure proper reporting of what is being sold from our site. So yes, you do have a 34' coach.

FP2B is your floorplan designation.

If you send me additional photos, I'll get them up on our site for you.

Here are the common floorplans for a 34T

The first thing that strikes me is the headlights... It appears that they changed these out to something else.

Yes, they were installed by the previous owner, a Barth Ranger named Bill Molena (not sure on the spelling). He sold the coach in Yuma about a year ago, I believe.

Bill is very knowledgable on machinery and did excellent work on the coach. I believe it appeared on this site with some follow-up information right after the sale.

The coach lived in WA for years with winters in AZ, and is now in OR. What is it with the Pacific Northwest and Barths?

I believe that there is a picture of this coach in the posting of pictures of the Quartzsite Barth Rangers Rally of either 04 or 05. I also used to see this here in Yuma the last 4-5 years.

Most all the pictures are the same pictures posted of this coach at the 2007 Quartzsite Rally. Note many of the pictures are labeled 1/25/2007.
