Your secret is good with me and our 4004 members. Some of which are pushing up daisies. May they rest in peace.

Photobucket may have hoodwinked us but it still cost less than what I tip the barista for coffee at the coffee shop.

Good luck with your sale Dana. Good luck to the frugal Barth purveyors that are searching for that special Barth. You may have found it.

Don't snooze or you will looze it.

Does your Barth have a propane water heater or has it been updated to propane/electric?

Also does it have cruise control?

How much propane do you use when running the AC's off the generator.


Have the bumpers always been white or did someone paint over the aluminum finish. Asking because the paint appears worn or stained in the some of pictures.


Dana, still trying to find a solution.

Jim,
It is the original water heater. It is propane but it has an electric rod that is threaded into the drain hole. We have only used the propane very little. I have never run out of hot water. The rod is 110 and plugs in at the base of the bed.

Yes it has cruise. Not original. It works great. not sure of make without going thru the paperwork. It is the reason for one tail light being still normal and not LED. The cruise will not work if they are all LED. Everyone who has done the LED conversion has done something to keep their Cruise working. It was the easiest fix for me.

I have not ever paid attention to the propane usage while running. Most of the time we don't need to run the generator because I like running early and late because of less traffic. I know I don't fill often.

Bumpers good question. I never asked the PO why they were white and a little blotchy. That is one thing I was going to investigate at some point. I assume they are chrome underneath the paint. Not sure why they were painted. I don't believe I have seen another one with painted bumper. Didn't know if that went with the Aristocrat change??? Best answer I can give. I don't know.


As I have stated I am being as transparent as possible I don't want any surprises. Good Questions!

Your coach is a gem. A true driveaway with lots of new stuff. I am surprised it isn't gone by now.

We see a lot of coaches come and go but yours is surely above average and I think it is priced fairly. I suspect your remote location may keep you out of the mainstream market.

Hang in there, it will be a keeper for someone soon!

Dana that is a STEAL for your coach. I am surprised and disappointed it hasn't sold yet. This is the best deal I have seen on a coach in years. Good luck.

There are several nice turnkey Barth coaches for sale presently. Buyers, and wanna be campers, quit trying to beat up the sellers and make your move. I have seen stick and staple boxes sell for more.

Such a contrast. I had installed a larger heater, insulated windows and an extra engine heater in the 86. Would be thinking of winterizing soon...

Meanwhile, Alan and I didn't spend much time discussing winterizing. (In Austin he'll just need Rusty's sweatshirt) He did mention getting a 3rd air conditioner, though.

Upper 30's here last night. Getting close. Good luck with your sale.

Wish it would work for us. Tere and I are actively looking for something to replace our 22' Minnie. It's a very nice motor home but it's too small for us. I think we're going to have to stay in the 28' range and something less than 11' tall so we can put it in the shop. I won't leave a motor home outside--just can't do it. Can't seem to get in touch with Roger Pence about Old Blue, but a 28' Regal would work. Problem is, I can't do a project anymore. It will have to be ready to go.
Jim

We looked at a very, very nice 1999 Fleetwood on a P37 chassis. But it was 11' 8" tall and I would have had to spend several thousand dollars to raise the roof of our shop and re-insulate it.

we would drive it in, put the bumper on the back wall, give it a little gas & then just a little more & voila, we can close the garage door

Dana, the problem is the height. I think DBarth is more than 11' to the top of the a/c.

JIM & DANA,
Doesn't the 5th picture on page one of this post under "Specifications" state the overall length & height? 34'4" long & 10'10" with A\C height. Just sayin'
Tere

Dana,
Glad you didn't get hurt measuring.

I researched motorhomes for months, happened upon the Barthmobile site and decided nothing within a realistic price range compared to the quality of a Barth. I waited close to two years for what I wanted(coach size,engine/tranny,chassis), to become available for sale(my Breakaway XL). I have even sold it once and then bought it back again a few years later
Point being that there are others that have discovered the uniqueness of Barth's through their wading through the masses of MH offerings out there and are currently waiting for that particular Barth to become available that checks off the items on their wish list.
Your coach is a bargain as priced. Don't sell it in desperation or devalue it by lowering the price drastically. A buyer WILL find you.
Hang in there!

Owning the only twin to this coach, I can say for sure that this is a great coach.

Hi we are previous Barth owners looking to get back in another. As the last post was a while ago and you had interested parties at that time please let us know if it is still available we could fly down to MSP to check it out. Thanks Steve 403-542-1361 sbcross@telus.net
