Ed, I think Tere wants to rent you for a month or two. Everytime you do one of these neat things to your Barth, she wants to do the same thing. I think I have to go rob a bank.

Somewhere, I have a pan similar to the Hughes.

It looks like cutting the round protuberance off the back end of the pan behind the drain plug and then welding a flat plate to cover the opening would avoid removing much material from the cross member. I am reluctant to cut the cross member too much because there is a gear vendors hanging on the back, which adds more stress than the OEM designers were looking at.

Thanks Bill- this sounds like good advice from a true fabricator.

I'm looking to purchase my first motorhome, preferably a Barth, is this unit still available.

Yes, it is.
