I've been a lurker long enough to know that I want, no, I NEED a Barth.
However, they are pretty rare. Are there other motorhomes that are made the way a Barth is made? That is, no glue, staples and 2x2's?
Thanks.

Hi Pebblepoint,

A hardy welcome to the website. Look around and feel at home.

You can find other coaches that have the same structure of the Barth, however, they don't come in the shorter and sometimes more handy lengths like the Barth and they start at $125K. when you can buy a 28 foot Regal under $20K and get this quality you can hardly pass it up.

These are some recently acquired photos of Barth construction




This is a Winnebago skeleton;



I am no expert, but I see a difference here. Check out the Barth's for Sale there are usually more that there are now, but they have been selling at the rate of a couple per week. Spring I guess....

Impressive pics of construction that you posted. Actually, MUCh better than I expected. Which Barth did pics represent, year, engine type, or doesn't that matter? Were all Barths made like this from 1969 to when they quit business?

These images are from a 1987 Regal, which is for sale, actually the one you mentioned in your last email to me Bob.

This image is from a brochure in the mid 70's Barth had the same construction from the beginning. Pretty cool, huh"

DAve, those images appear to be of two different coaches.

Perhaps Jerry will let us know their source.

You are absolutley correct Bill. And this have I poped off about accurate info. No where did Jerry tell me that these photos were from his coach. Since they were supplied with his other "For Sale" pictures I assumed and that is always a big mistake.
