Bubba BarthThe one thing you wish your Barth had.
Hello All I just wanted to start a topic and see what mattered to people in the Barth world.
For me so far I wish my Barth had solar panels.
Cheers

Bubba BarthI understand how. Just wondering what you wish your Barth had? More power? Washer and Drier? Video surveillance? Free Gas? Get it?
Cheers

Danny ZOther than a new paint job, nothing. Well, maybe levelers, and a satelite TV, and a new 502 FI, and new captains chairs, but other than that...

Bubba BarthOk Paint would be cool. I'm thinking airbrush the noticeable big section with the mountain view from my back porch. Besides there are a few scratches there.
How a bout an auto pilot. Like the one in the movie Airplane. Except you wouldn't have to keep blowing it up. Driving is half the fun but sometimes......

really cool. extremely early slide out.
There were many, many cool trailers back then (which the Spartan was even before mods). A mile or so from my boyhood home and elementary school was the Kozy Coach factory.
