Hi

My friend recently purchased a Barth and says its the best way to go.

Since I'm just starting to look at RV's, and I know my friend does his homework, I'm going with Barth.

I'm wanting around a 33 footer and am planning on towing about 6,000 lbs across country several times.

What minimum strength engine would ya'll recommend for that load?

Thanks,

Richard

If I were to tow 6000 lbs I would definately look for a 300 CAT I don't know what your budget is but I would go for something like this 32 foot Regency https://www.barthmobile.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000195.html

It has been for sale for a little while I thik the guy would deal...

Or for a little more I would leap at this one...

I was interested in the 32' Regency/8.3L Cummins but, after reading the info. about the 1989 Cummins engines with pervasive engine block cracks; I think this price is way too high. I believe a coach with an inherently bad diesel engine is about $20k too high.

Here's a 34' Regency with a CAT on RV Trader. It might be a good deal. http://adcache.rvtraderonline.com/3/6/4/54121264.htm

The 38ft.in NC was offered to me for 50,000. 6 weeks ago. I have not seen it though. They have had it along time so who know one might shoot them a 40 number and see what happens. The salesman kept going back and to his sales manager before he would say yes to 50. Funny thing they were so slow that they finally called me on our cel and we were driving our just purchased 1991 Gillig home from Houston. Dave probably knows a few stories about sales managers. Right Dave?
