linesaverOlder Barth Continental trailer
Long story short. Purchased some land a few years back, and it had two old trailers on it. One is a Barth Continental. Trying to find information on it led me here, but I need to know anything I can about this trailer. It's in pretty decent shape, but does need to be gone through. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

olroyThe Barth Continental was top-of-th-line in its day. We bought our first RV in 1969. The dealer also sold Barths for about 4 times what our first rig cost. Definitely above my pay grade then, but it was what first turned me on to Barths.
If you want to restore it as a labor of love, have the best trailer made in its day, still equal or better in basic construction to today's best, and a wonderful magnet for conversations in RV parks, go for it, but don't expect to make money on it.
