We have looked all spring and summer now at all brands and for the $ we want spend 4 to 8000 all the glass one are falling apart or soon to be a mess

So we are on board with a Barth or all metal unit ,so if you know of any in the midwest in that price range
Thanks Dave

Dave, look at the two forum topics: BARTH COACHES FOR SALE; BARTH SIGHTINGS and spend some time looking at what has been reported lately.

Hmm... how to summarize??? hmm

Barths are high quality orphans (68 to 98) Aluminum hulls, top quality accessories and cabinets.

They are widely variable! Due to their high cost limited numbers were made, usually to each buyer's specs. Gassers (mostly GM, later some Ford chassis) from 22 to 34 ft, diesels (MCC, Spartan and Gillig chassis) from 28 to 40 ft.

Bottom line: for older coaches they are well above average... (you can fix them faster than they break)

Search this site's archives for tons of info... Thumbs Up
