Hello, I am new here and thinking about purchasing the 32' Barth currently for sale in Southeast Missouri and listed on this site. I am new to motorhomes as well as 1000 miles away, so would like a trusted and qualified mechanic to inspect the Barth for me before committing funds. Does anyone know who might be a good candidate for said inspection? Unit is near Cape Girardeau, in Wappapello, MO. I expect to eventually spend double the purchase price bringing her up to speed, but in my ignorance I do not think it prudent to drive an unknown unit 1000 miles with no toad to get her here where I know local tradesmen I can trust. Any advice is appreciated. thanks...jon

Run a quick site search here for "buyers checklist" there are several versions.

Gas or diesel? Length? approx. miles?

Good luck with deal. Wish I could advise on a mechanic but I know only a few I would recommend and they are neither close to SE MO or to me, for that matter.

check my PM. Keep in touch, good luck with your inspection and purchase.

Steve, I think this is a twin to your Barth. Check out the pictures in the 'For Sale' forum. It's a tag etc. I suggested that John send you a PM since you've had so much experience with that model.

Slightly different floor plan, twins vs queen bed but mostly the same.

My coach was constructed in July of 1986, marketed as an 87 model. Later in the 87 model year (I thought about November) they changed the front roofline to the later style with the drip edge. Even though my coach was an 87 model I refer to it as an 86 because it has the "pre 87" roofline. Yet this coach was made in April 87 yet has the older style roofline like mine.

Another Barth enigma!

John did contact me. I am trying to give any help I can.

Just hope we can find a good home for this Barth. It looks like it can be a fine motorhome with a little TLC. If I were 10 years younger

This does look like a nice one. My experience shows the tag axle to be a very nice upgrade, for sure. Miles are fairly low, too.

I would suggest going on Yelp for that city and searching for a truck mechanic. Most issues for the trip to your house will be chassis issues. The P30 is a Fritos truck chassis, and is very similar to the GM 1 ton pickup. Any decent GM truck mechanic will know what he is doing.
