KenshanShipping a Barth Questions
Hi, I have a 1978 Barth. We were given it & we never found the Tag to know the model. It is 24ft long & didn't have any plumbing anywhere to be an RV. We think it was custom built for someone to be cargo or something. The last guy that had it did a mobile photography studio. I have turned it into a dog grooming salon.
Anyway, we are now moving from WA to MT. My husband says we can keep it "if" it's reasonable to ship it. Does anyone know how much a 24ft Barth weighs? Has anyone shipped a Barth before? Any good shipping companies you trust? I've only looked at one shipping company so far & it feels way over my head.
Thanks Shannon (kenshan)

Steve VWI checked the Data Tag forum. The 24 ft coaches from 77 and 78 all had GVWR of 12,000 to 12,500 lb. I am not sure about these older ones but many coaches, when fully fueled and loaded, are near their full GVWR.
OTOH, you have a nonstandard floorplan. From the sound of it your coach would not be as heavy as the fully completed ones. Certainly less than 12,000 but how much is a guess.
Try it at a truck scale. Let us know if you get it weighed. Good luck.
the most economical way will be to go with a "Gooseneck Trailer" go on "USHIP" and request a shipping quote.

Marvin+DorisThe height matters more than the weight. How tall? Remember over 13'8" it is too high on top of a trailer. You might need a so called "Landoll" trailer to load it.

KenshanOurs is 9foot tall, with the vent lids probably another 1/2inch.
