This post, Craigslist & Barth Rangers sites call it a '79, yet the owner listed it as '73...
If it's a '73, that's a nice looking square headlight modification.....(For me, the front end design of early P30's is an acquired taste, and the square headlights are a plus.)
If it's a '79, when did the rear bustle go away, as several '79's I've seen are without it.
Inquirying minds need to know......

GunnerIt's a "73: driver's chrome "flipout" ashtray (on the wall to his left) and the steering wheel are early 70's. Bustle is the clincher.

bill hMy 84 has wall ashtrays like that.
I believe the bath is opposite the kitchen.
I have visited Bill and Ann in their coach, and it is a good one. Bill is an excellent mechanic and takes good care of his stuff. He has done some clever improvements.
I think you're right Gunner......Maybe......
Being a slow day here, I pulled up the '73 & '74 Barth brochure pdf's on Dave's CD....Here's what they show:
1. 1973 was the last year of the narrow windshield and 1974 was the first year of the GMC Astro-cab windshield. This one is clearly a GMC piece of glass,
2. 1973 doesn't list a 34', but '74 does, and with what looks to be the correct floorplan (INCLUDING a bathroom, Mary Ray
I guess this helps verify that things could change ANYTIME in Milford Indiania back then...
At any rate, I hope the seller offers up some more info about this coach and its history...It's a fine example of Vintage Barth!

Mary RayWent to the Barth Rangers site and found the bathroom, what a relief

Dave BowersNotice the square head lights. I bet that is a recent upgrade because they look so shinny and I think 1973's were round.

Dave BowersThe owners daugter emailed me and this is a 1979 coach.

bud@YXYTo just add a little to the discussion of when the change in shape of headlights happened, we have a '77 20ft, with round headlights.

LovestogoI also have 79 but mine has round headlights.
It is in the Barth CD [shiny Barth]

californiacool9Bill called me this morning to inform us that this lovely coach has been sold. Thanks, Don and Heidi

Shadow manAh! thats why it disappeared off the lot in the last couple of days. I thought that since it has been getting warm and late in the season that he had probably put it in storage or taken it back to Wa. for the summer.
