We do just a little . The owners of non Barths are knows as SOBs which means "Some Other Brand" or "Something Other than Barth". We do have several members who own orphans or are just looking for a site that isn't like the IRV2 site.

Thank you, yes we do have a great group over at Barthmobile.com. I wasn't sure how you would take my posting over here, thanks for making me feel welcomed.

I left your entire post in our forum for membership comments too.

Would you direct me to one of your post that goes into detail on the frame and construction techniques.
