Danny ZI like the marble kitchen treatment but that is one ugly bathroom. Mine had the spindels under the cabinet, but a PO removed them for some reason. I suppose I should replace them but the cabinet hasn't fallen off the ceiling yet.
I think this could be a nice coach, but it's going to take a lot of rehab after sitting that long. Tires, hoses, brake lines, belts, plug wires and cap, front bearing repacks, tranny service at minimum, drain gas tanks, and a bunch of other things befor even thinking about serious rehabbing the coach part. Still, a guy could be going down the road for under 5 grand if he does things right, so not a bad deal.
I think a little TLC and it would look great. A wise young person would realize this is much better buy than any other RV they could buy for the money.
In the bathroom, you could update with new formica and wallpaper and it would look great. Same thing in kitchen, new formica, remove the dated spindles, new carpet and new vinyl.
I just finished all new carpet, new vinyl, some minor rebuilding around the engine cover and it looks incredible....I have come back SO IMPRESSED with the build quality of a Barth...I think Barths are the Packards of motorhomes....

For decades, the Packard slogan was, "Ask the Man who Owns One."

olroy"Ask the man who owns one," indeed. Of the 40 plus cars I've owned in 63 years, I really miss only three of them, & one was a '53 Packard.
