Asks Suzie if the Barth is for sale! Are you freaking kidding? He says he's only seen a couple, but he knows they were made in California.
He's from Travel Time RVs just south of us, and I would assume it's a buy cheap sell ridiculous outfit. I always thought Barths were made in Indiana. Oh well, live and learn.

He might have mistook it for an MCC by Barth. Some of those were built in California.

The early FMC-looking MCCs were partly made in CA, and the chassis and fiberglass body components were shipped to Barth and assembled by Barth in Milford. The accurate version is in a motor home magazine road test that I sent Dave or Bill or somebody a while back. I think it is on the later Barth CD.

I have a copy to send if it can't be found.

I doubt it was mistaken for an early MCC. There is a superficial resemblance between the nose of that MCC & the Euro, but that's as far as it goes.

The guy may have a superficial resemblance to someone who knows anything about RV's, but I think he just didn't know what he was talking about.

The actual discussion was; "Do you know anything about Barths?" "I know they were made in California." So it wasn't mistaken identity. Oh, and Suzie told him no, it isn't for sale.
