• Model: 1973 Barth Motorhome, 25 feet long.

• Engine and Generator: Chevy 454, currently disassembled, but all parts needed for reassembly are present and stored inside the RV. The majority of these parts are new. The generator works.

• Previous Owners: The previous owner had big dreams of rebuilding the engine off the vehicle, and while he made progress, he sadly passed away before completing the project. The parts meant to be reassembled were stored away in cupboards for a few years. Unfortunately, after his passing, his wife fell into a deep depression and filled the RV with trash and cat waste. We’ve cleaned it up significantly, but there’s still some lingering odor, and it needs a lot of love. We also ripped out the flooring, I am debating what exactly to do or not do with the rest.


• Ins and Outs: The RV’s exterior is solid, besides a little this and that to make her pretty, and fix the rust, but it’s clear the inside needs work. Whether it’s a full renovation or just some aesthetic updates, there’s potential here.


• Registration: Expired last year; it’s $300 to renew. No title, but I do have the registration papers. It’s on non-op.

I want to do right by this motorhome, but I have to be honest with myself—I don’t have the time, resources, or expertise to take on this project, I’m incredibly grateful to have it now but I’m also aware that my focus needs to be on rebuilding my life, not just this RV.

It was a gift I received in my search for stable housing. I’m open to selling or trading this Barth, ideally for something road-ready and livable now. I believe this RV could be something truly special in the hands of someone who can appreciate and invest in it.


I know the engine and the generator alone are probably worth a few thousand dollars, but I’m not interested in parting it out. Instead, I’d like to respect the vision of the previous owner and see if I can pass this on to someone who can bring that dream to completion.

I’d greatly appreciate any advice on what I should do next, what I should be asking for it, or if there’s anyone in the community who might be interested. I’m eager to hear your thoughts and would like to make sure I’m approaching this in the best way possible.

Thank you in advance for any guidance or interest you might have.
