OK, so I have driven The Barth around town a bit but today qualified for the Maiden Voyage. An extended, 200 mile sight-seeing and shopping trip with the family (daughter, spousal unit, Golden Retriever and Scottish Terrier). We had a ball. Even with a very stiff wind and some no-shoulder 2-lane Alabama trails, I was comfortable with the handling. Navigated around the Boaz Outlet Mall parking lots with ease. Put new airbags in the front. Now I need to raise the rear! Is there a similar kit for the rear? What does the collective use for rear sag control (no, I do not intend to join an aerobics class). :-) | |||

Ain't it the pinnicle of traveling..... Check this out for the rear, I have these and as my daughter would say "they rock", actually I guess they keep my coach from rocking.. http://www.hellwigproducts.com/newprod.html ------------------ Shortcuts Always Take Longer | |||

The Old Man and No Barth |
One man's experience & another option. (not on a Barth, but a GM P-30 chassis clone) Had the same problem. Existing steel auxiliary springs, (a la previous post), had sagged too. Tried Timbren rubber springs (timbren.com). They're not pneumatic. Raised the rear OK, but original springs were flat. They needed to be replaced. Bought new springs from Benz Spring Co. in Portland, OR. Out the door for $460 the pair. Installed locally for $160. My advice: Unless the original springs are in great shape and only a few years old, spend a little more and get new ones. Springs do get tired. | |||
