New Barth owner and love the barthmobile site. My name is Mitchell and have never engaged in an online chat, not sure what guidelines to follow but hope to get better with practice.
Purchase a 1995 front door coach from Cocoa Beach Florida and drove it home to Bell located West of Gainesville on the Suwannee River. I was told it was a breakaway but the plate above the drivers seat doesn't indicate what I have read on this site. The ID number is 9411-3941-31LA-11B.The electrical blueprints I received from the owner all have Regal wrote at the top.
It is titled as a "95" but the ID gives a date of 11/94. Hence the reason I titled the discussion "What a Barth". Can't find any info on a model LA as indicated on the ID number. Anyone who could help identify my coach, I would greatly appreciate. I am going to try to attach a photo of the coach and the ID plate.
It has a 5.9 Cummins with a 4 speed Allison. on a Spartan frame with air ride suspension. I have it in the shop getting it inspected and serviced and plan a 500-600 mile maiden voyage this weekend.

Not sure what I am doing but could only upload 1 photo. Here is the ID plate. Help with picture size on discussion page upload would be helpful

Check your Private messages Mitch. I saw your photos on the photobucket. I will send you my phone number in a PM.
There are some Barth Savvy Data Tag folks that can tell you exactly what you have purchased.

Welcome to Barthmobile!

9411-Coach was built Nov '94
3941-Sequence of the coach in the then-current numbering system
31LA-31' The LA was tacked on by Barth; no one has deciphered most of these
11B-Thought to be interior layout; we have no chart of what they are

31' is a rare length for a Breakaway.

I think yours is the closest Barth to me.

Welcome! Hope you can give some thought to joining us at the Hillsborough River Get-together near Tampa in December. It's a very laid back affair and we always have a bunch of fun. See the post under GTGs and Rallies, and let Rusty or me know if you need any help getting a site reserved.
