In 1977 my father purchased a 29' Barth 454 Chev in Red Deer Alberta. For 11 years it was the pride and joy of our family, seeing many wonderful trips to the west coast salmon fishing in the summer and to the southern USA in the winter as well as all the local camping in my teen age years. In 1988 the Barth was sold to some family friends after my father passed away. For 17 years the new owners loved the Barth as much as our family had, always keeping it in top shape and updating it with new upolstery and carpet and installing a new 454 and transmision. In the last couple of years the Barth saw little action and the decision was made to once again find a new home for it. When I heard that it was up for sale, I put my Family on a plane (we live in Langley, BC) and headed off to have alook at it. Two days later it was back in the family. I now look forward to as many great times in our Barth with my family, as I had as a youngster. When I have time I will post pictures, new and old, of my pride and joy. I also have all of the maunuals for this unit, and could copy them if someone is in need. Happy Barthing, Brad Weldon, Langley BC
