What is my 24' 1969 Barth Continemtial worth?
I replaced all vents, new wall to wall laminated flooring, all new outside running lights and have all original documentation of appliances including Barth Magazines, original sew on "Barth Member" patch and more. Restored in 2012.

Now THAT is a classic trailer! Do you want to know its value for selling purposes, or for insurance purposes?

It's pretty hard to value a lot of classic "vehicles" for selling, since it would really depend on finding the right buyer. Restorations are even harder to price for selling. About the only value guide we consumers have for RV's is NADA (www.nadaguides.com) and there isn't even a listing for Barth under the Travel Trailer category.

For insurance, I would add up the total value of the restoration (how much it would cost you to replace everything), and then maybe add 25%. You'd want an "agreed cash value" policy. Always better to have more cushion than less, and the premium probably wouldn't be much more for added coverage.

Either way, you might want to find some prices on classic Airstream trailers for a ballpark figure - although that brand is more well-known, sought after, and would likely be valued higher than the Barth.

And on a side note, we'd love to see some more interior photos of the restoration!

Welcome to the site. You will find that the people on here are like family and interested in anything Barth related.

I am interested in your question because I have a 1968 Barth Executive trailer that is about the same size as yours. I have done some work on mine but not a complete restoration and it had no appliances when I bought it. The worth is not material to me as I have no intention of selling and insurance is not going to pay what it is worth to me.

we would love to see pictures of the interior/exterior and a little history, when did you buy it etc.

If you are interested in selling it there are many places to do so, ebay, craigslist, Tin Can Tourists and many others.
