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.

I'm a Newbe and just started looking at Barth'S. Could someone educate me about them? Floor planes, models, construction, the usual.

Thanks

Hmm... how to summarize???

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...

Mark there are exceptions to this. There are no 2 Barth alike. Thus Barth Custom Coaches. With that being said you can break them down to a few general categories. chassis

Floor plans vary 19' to 40',Rear beds, center twin beds, No beds,
