The "Before" Shots

Here are a few pictures that we took of the coach when we got it.  There aren't many, as we really didn't think we would change that much!  Apologies for some of the pictures...some of these were shot on film and then scanned, so the quality leaves something to be desired.

View to the front

This view towards the cab area is probably one of the only pics I have of the original dash.  You can see the old overhead cabinet above, too. 

Classic Barth

Yep..."classic".  Notice how dark those "walnut" cabinets make it?  Imagine having this wood throughout the coach!  You almost needed a flashlight in the daytime.

The original stovetop & oven

If ever there was anything destined to leave this coach, it was these two.  LeAnna HATED that oven!!  I don't think it ever produced a thing that wasn't either undercooked on top or burnt on the bottom.

Original drawers

These drawers were amazing.  When you tried to open them, they stuck, studdered, and were generally uncooperative.  But just you take a left turn slightly too fast.....

Overhead kitchen

This was a brilliant concept.  Coupling ultra dark wood with a light that a bat couldn't see by.

The original booth

I have no idea what they were thinking when they shoved this monstrosity in here.  This thing was so big, it left only a 14" asile to get into the lounge area.  The table top weighed 30lbs!!

Thank God, that's all gone!
