Stepson gave his mother and I this Barth. I have not seen one like this on the site. Mainly the two rear axles. We are going to need a lot of help as we are first timers.

I resized and uploaded to photobucket - Rusty

Cool coach! The step in the roof line is unusual.

You will be glad you have the extra "tag axle." It contributes extra load capacity, more stability and more braking.

Search the site archives, there are many relating to the GM 454 engine, transmission, chassis and documents (some I put there)

There are several members here who are mechanical gurus, they will usually help with questions. Good luck. Thumbs Up

Welcome to the Forums! Any additional pix, please resize to 8" largest dimension and email to me. Thanks. (Attachments take up expensive website capacity)

thanks Rusty. I spent some time trying to figure out the photo bucket thing. I apologize that I couldn't. Everyone else thank you for the warm welcome. We live in South Hill, Va. Looking forward to the Barth experience. I will bedriving her home next Tuesday.

Welcome, April and Eric cheers
GREAT looking Barth!
tag axle not so unusual, but bumped up roof is, unless it is converted from a commercial vehicle.

From the dual gens and square rear corners this coach looks like a commercial conversion. Nice looking coach.

Nice looking coach indeed! I'd love to see more pictures. Don't feel bad about the photo bucket thing you're not alone. Welcome to the world according to Barth!

Let us know how your trip home went.

I'll save you the trouble of downloading the pictures to Photobucket. I have them right here.

I went to see this Barth and took pictures. I was too slow in getting to the bank and he sold it to you guys before I could bring him the cash. That thing is sweet. Good Luck with it.

Could that be twin generators in those compartments with the screens in the doors? Very nice!

I think that is what Doorman meant.
