Barth trailer construction question re floors
Hi all.
I live resonably close to where Barth Travel Trailers were made before the company was sold and converted to a MH company. Every now and again I see a Barth trailer pop up for sale, but often not particularly close by.
I'm still on my hunt for a 24 foot or shorter trailer and was wondering how the floor on the Barth trailers might be attached. If it is like the Airstreams/Argosys where the floor is an integral part of the frame, I'd just as soon go with an AS or Argy. But if the floor is not part of the frame, and is more readily pulled out and repaired while keeping the integrity of the trailer, then I will make an effort to take a peek or two. I'll assume that just about any pre 1970's trailer will have at least some rotten floor to address. the question for me is how difficult will the repair be? Currently looking for a Streamline, Silver Streak or Avion, but have yet to find one that was priced right for the condition. thinking of adding Barth to the list, but am very curious about the floor before taking a peek.
thanks for any insights.
