My Father-in-law worked for Barth for many years. He loved his job and he loved Barth RVs.

Welcome to the site!

Wow, those are interesting artifacts from the past! I have never seen the lighter before. Some of our members will be jealous!

Thanks for sharing

Steve VW,
I took him lunch one day when I was first married to his son. He took me on a tour of the facility. I love looking at some of the photos here, it brings to mind walking through the factory and him giving me specs on the units. I like to think he ordered at least one part of each Barth I see.

Debi, you recall that which us owners have only imagined. I would love to see a recording of the production process.

Our coaches, as you know, are known for their exceptional quality. That which could only have been reached through the apparent pride of many like your father in-law. Be assured his pride is carried forward by the pride we feel as we operate our rigs in today's diminished era. Long Live Barths!

Thank you for posting your connection.

Those are cool. I haven't seen the lighter either.

Thanks for sharing Deb! I too was able to tour the factory in May of 1991, I may have even met your Father in Law?

Billy & Helen,
He was a purchasing agent, his name was Dick Posthuma.

Thought I might share my Barth memorabilia. Have 2 key rings? One is brand new in the plastic. I also have a 15 year Barth Employee pin. I have other things but they were purchased elsewhere I believe. A set of highball glasses. I have my aluminum Barth Logo along with the Metal Data Tag from my 1972 on an Oak plaque just because. I painted the Barth logo on both ends of my 1972.
