For Sale through a local dealer (www.haydocy.com), but listed here on CL:
http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/3387879715.html

I was interested - but too big for the wife's liking. They claim $4K in work done - but it appears mostly small items and lots of billable labor. The dealership took it on trade from an elderly gentleman. Coach needs a good cleaning inside. Some external cosmetics (bubbles in paint on a couple of access doors, small dent/tear in skin on lower LR of coach. All does seem to be in working order except the cruise (diagnosed as bad vacuum transducer if I recall). The nice thing - all manuals/original binder is with the coach.

Rusty, does this look like a Breakaway that has more basement storage than the early models? I know you have one of the first of these. Is this vin number close to yours?

Dealer reduced the price to $13,999 - looks like it is sold to a buyer in Virginia for $13K!

I go the wife to reconsider just a bit too late...

I am new to this site but flying to columbus on saturday to pick up the breakaway...looking forward to the barth..

WAY TO GO! Smart purchase. A lot like the one I had. Good thing you found the forum.
There are folks here with abundant knowledge and experience from which you can benefit, as I have.

Welcome to a group of interesting people who like/own interesting motor coaches!

Looks like you found a very nice coach.

I'm a GM chassis guy but there are plenty of people with oil burners out there.

WORD OF WARNING: These things are addictive! I've got a bad case, can't stop working on and learning the coach, posting pictures, the GTGs are great fun...

Good luck with yours!

Looking forward to connecting with this group. This coach will be making some miles and rocking around the country. Perhaps at a barth meet sometime.. www.gerrylast.com

I wanted a solid coach that could handle some tough road trips. Cant wait to pick it up tomorrow and hit the road right away.

In speaking to him last night, he has replaced the demand pump, alternator, new flooring and updated the microwave and added a flat screen TV. Seems he is getting some pressure abut storing it at the apartment complex where he works and has decided to offer it up for sale.

Talked to glast today. This is a 4-speed, but runs fine at 65mph. Sounds like a solid Barth

glast apparently did sell the coach. The new owner has posted it for sale here:

His plans have changed (was using it to travel 5 hours and stay while visiting his son who is now moving WAY out of state. Listed as a 33' in the ad, but it is the same 30.5 coach with about 76K miles.
