recently acquired 1965 24 ft barth travel trailer had not heard of barth until now.







plan on doing some redecorating. but is in pretty good physical shape. am excited to get started on it.

peg.

Congrats!

Looks like one of the nicest, original ones left out there.

Somebody took seriously good care of that one. Congrats.

Congratulations on your purchase - if you have the serial # we would be interested in it for our files. We are currently attempting to collect these from the remaining Barths.

It is, or should be, located by the entrance door and it'll look like this.



If not, you'll find it on the tongue area.



It should also be the same as the VIN# on your registration.

ok. i will check it out.

Wow looks like it is in very good shape. You will find this site useful I am sure. Welcome to Barthland!

A review of the states shows that trailers, by and large, have Bills of Sale and not titles. Since they are non powered most do not have a VIN. In your case a Bill of Sale and the serial number should all you need to get a plate or sticker.

I have bought a trailer from Florida and one from California, when I went to register them in the state of Tennessee I found out they both require a title.

Same in AZ.

Illinois also. Even my 4x8 utility trailer has a title here.

OK, that's four States yes and one no, so far.

Because the wheels touch the ground, NY state requires a vehicle registration with a vin#. Campers that sit inside a pickup bed do not require a serial #.

NY realizes some vehicles never had a vin# - so they make you tow it to a State DMV area (Kingston for me) and they will inspect it to make sure there is no vin# or serial # stamped anywhere on the trailer - then, based on the year you brought it to them, they'll issue you a vin# of their own sequence if it passes inspection.

They also weigh it to see what class it falls into for brakes. It better have the appropriate items for 2011 or they won't allow you to register it.

we are in iowa. our camper has a title. i just haven't gotten it out to look at it yet.

thanks for the welcome. i am happy to find barthland. there is not a lot of info out there about the barths.

will keep you posted on my redecorating progress.

Please keep this in mind... nothing is garbage. Your junk could be someone's long lost item to finish their restoration.

Todd, for example, is looking for a few items on his trailer and what you may throw out could really be useful to them. Just offer it up here first if you can.

Here is the forum we use to post stuff to give/sell or to request an item we might need. Swap Meet Central

Just saying...

Wisconsin only requires title and registration for trailers 3000# and over.
