This past weekend we became proud owners of 1975 23 ft Barth Motor Coach. I'm thrilled to get started on this project and for our trip. What are some great websites for information/parts? Also, how do we become involved with the rallies? Thanks :-)

Welcome to the Forums!

In the Tech Talk Forum there's a Barth image at the top; it's interactive, providing links to threads about the part.

At the top of the forum are several pinned threads, a couple of which list parts and tech sources.

I made a few errors on our first post and I cant edit them. The title should have read Proud owners Smiler Also, our Barth is actually a 1975 and 23 ft rather. Opps! We brought this beauty home Saturday and parked her. We haven't really gone thru her but we know we love her. This site has really amp us up to getting started being we're first time Barth owners. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures and information. I look forward to visiting this site often for ideas, parts, and the get togethers once shes done. I'll be sure to post pictures soon!

Heres another. So I've got to ask, I'd like to remodel the interior and give it a updated look but is it better to keep the original look?

There are no awards here for originality or authenticity. Do what makes it suit your needs and desires.

You can edit your own posts by clicking on the pencil eraser icon, far right (which is how I added this ps)

Genie and Josh, I also have a 1975 Barth and except for new curtains, upholstery and a new kitchen sink faucet it is original. All except the faucet are the handy work of the previous owners.

Like Mogan David said the choice is yours. Make it suit your wants and needs.

There has been talk of a Rally or GTG (get together) in Chattanooga, TN, we are still trying to set a date.

We often take the grand daughters to Starved Rock State Park in the spring and fall. Lets see if we can't get a small GTG in the spring for those in Illinois. All who wander are not lost.

I fixed the typos. At the bottom of the each post is a folder/eraser icon which allows you to revise that post.
