I started having Barth withdrawl's about 3 hours after I sold my Breakaway. This one was in the neighborhood... well kind of.. the owner was a couple of hundred miles away and the Barth was 725 miles away (Springfield Mo.) She is a beauty!! Unbelievable interior and cabinetry. Unique bedroom design with side credenza. All corian counters, etc. etc. Will try to get more pictures tomorrow. Tried to get some of the data tag, but they didn't turn out very well. I'm back on the map!!! Big Grin So the info is:

Thanks Corey, Bill NY
I must admit, I was looking at some Vogues, Foretravels, BB's and Safari Serengetti's alot of good deals out there... but the Barth pull was to strong!! Big Grin I will try to get some interior pictures tomorrow. It was getting to dark today. Spent most of the afternoon getting it tucked away and winterized.

Gerald!
Let us see pictures of the inside! I have a 1984 Regal tag axle like yours....my data plate actually says it's a 35 foot but it measures 34 feet bumper to bumper.....anxious to compare the two of them!

K&E

P.S. Been doing a lot of misc work on mine....if you run into something, let me know and I may have already figured it out....

Sure looks like a beauty from the outside! Hey, do you notice a significant improvement in the ride with the tag axle?

K&E... thanks alot... I am sure I will have some questions down the road. I drove down to Springfield Mo. with the PO and we pulled his car back on a Demco Kar Kaddy (came with the coach!!) Since it is a little more coach than my 28 footer I was a little nervous... but after the first twenty miles, the next 700 mi. was a real pleasure to drive. I really don't know how to compare the ride to my Breakaway... may not be a good comparison. But it rides very smooth (air bags in front also) and handles extremely well, no problems with other trucks etc. There was alot of road construction so I got some very good practice in some tight spaces...one in particular was on a two lane bridge, on-coming traffic, temporary cement barricades on the shoulder, cones in the middle. Reminded me of Ice Road Truckers in India Big Grin

Could you please supply us with a data tag number/picture and one of your coach too? It would be nice to see what the entire tag says on your coach.

I know the feeling. I love my 92 30' ft Breakaway but I miss My old(er) 88 33' ft Regal SE. Maybe it was the tag axle.............

Ditto on missing the 33' SE. I loved that coach! Fortunately it is often parked beside us when camping and I even got to winterize it last weekend.

Golly, that's nice. It is a longer version of ours, but a little nicer inside. Your cabinetry is like ours, but appears to be walnut instead of our cherry.

That bedroom dresser is interesting. How does the person sleeping on the driver side get up without awakening the other person?

BTW, get it weighed and consult the tire maker chart for your tire size and rating for inflation. The tag specs might be a little low.

Underinflation and sitting are tire killers.

Thanks bill
Yes, the cabinets are walnut. I will probably sleep on the aisle side and I don't wake very easy. I think there is enough room to skoot out the bottom. I do want to get it weighed, the PO said that it weight 10 ton. So I am assuming the tag is about 5500 lbs. Is there some place on the coach that would give me that info? Can't find anything in the literature.... Thanks again..Gerald

Forgot to mention, the tire pressure now is 90 on all tires.. that is where the PO put them when we picked it up.. said that is where he always ran them.. have to check into a little deeper though
