I would also like to check the width of the Barth Bodies, pre 1974, that were produced with the shorter style front windshield.



Just like our own little "Data Tag Project", this too is a worthwhile task for the BarthMobile site and by extension it then becomes a resource for their owners.

Obviously I had a lot going on in October? Not sure how I missed seeing this as I check by often. 1 degree outside tonight. -11 projected for the am but because I think it is important I will try to remember to tape mine out being one of only 2 Aristocrats we know of. Dogs are already to bed or I'd have run out tonight. I expect it to be the same as Breakaways.

Maybe we can get Snakedriver to put a tape on his 72.

Okay it was bugging me so it is now zero outside so I didn't ask Lynn to go out in the bright moonshine and help me measure the outside. I measured inside at mid-height in 3 different spots. There are few spots where you can span inside.

To the rear of the door frame 93"

At the rear edge of the drive seats. 92 1/2"

At the back over the bed 92 1/2"

The spec sheets say 92"

Interesting I had a gallon of -50 degree RV antifreeze sitting in the sink (Pink stuff) and at zero it was nearly solid slush. Not what I would expect from -50 antifreeze. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The rv juice "protects " not antifreeze it won't freeze and expand until reaching the -50. It does expand but squished down the tube.

98" was the legal width up until the feds changed it to 102" The only exception to this are mirrors, not lights, bumpers, nor awnings. A couple of states (WY, MO) oked awnings. Many of the mfgers dropped down to 100" to meet European widths.

My Breakaway is 97" measured to the outside edge of the drivers/passengers side windows. Each window frame is 1/4" beyond the skin. Mirrors extend 11" out each side. Awning rolls extend 3 1/2" out on both sides
