May 1999 I bought the Barth in CA – Helene Thompson Rangers #524 - to pull my track car to various tracks from mid-west to Florida, stay at the track. I have the original owner's manual. I drove it back to E. TN without any problems. Later in 1999 I replaced the radiator, water pump, oil pump, electric fuel pump, new refrigerator, numerous maintenance items like belts, gaskets, batteries, etc. In 2000 a valve job, pistons rings, main, rod and cam bearings, gaskets, starter and exhaust headers. In 2001 rebuilt the carb, replaced the gas refrigerator, deep cycle batteries. I have the original owner’s manual, all receipts for work done, In 2014 recovered all the cushions/beds. That year a tree blew over, fell into the rear corner putting dents in the exterior but no other damage. I straightened it out best I could. A good body guy could make it look like new. All the exterior awnings need to be replaced. I have the awning (Carefree) owner’s manual. I had a seizure in spring 2015 so I’m not allowed on the race track, have to sell everything. I have a number of pics including a scale drawing of the interior layout. I can't figure out how to show them here but you can email me. I'll reply with the photos. johnhouvenagle@gmail.com

Thank you John (Sparkman) for offering your Barth to the fellow members here. I will request the data tag from your email information. Could you also please include a contact phone number? Most members prefer to talk the seller.

Since 'Sparkman' lives in my home town, I'm going over to help him take some pics and with Kevin's help, will post them on the site. Will be my first time with FB Jim
