I cannot believe your extreme level of optimism! You are driving 360 miles to pick up a 35 year old motor home that you bought sight unseen. You don't know if it runs, if it has working brakes, if the tires are safe, etc. Then you are going to hook a trailer onto it, load up your Yukon (almost certainly well over the tow rating of the motorhome), and drive it 360 miles home. By yourself. In one day! Because you have to go to work the next day!! Wow. Did you really think all of that was going to happen? BTW, I owned a Barth motorhome for almost 10 years, in the 80s and 90s. They were very well built motorhomes. Good luck with your further adventures.

Looks like it has been pretty well cared for over the years. An absolute steal for $600. Especially with no obvious damage or mechanical issues. Sucks it got towed, truck stops are militant about that kind of stuff. Glad to hear you are finally going to get it home. Eager to see it cleaned up and back on the road. 👍

Definitely a nice, nice rig. No damages and ìt runs great , they always need cleaning of course. Been better off parking in Walmart or motel , truck stops are anal, even dropped trailers get towed empty or full. No respect ,just greedy fuel stops. They don't really care About people or their problems. Tow happy..

One of my previous RV units was a 37.5 foot Countryaire mh with a 454 engine, it had a gear vendor overdrive added and got between 7-9 mpg depending upon terrain and speed. The wall structure was aluminum as was the roof framing. Exhaust manifold leaks are the norm for these big block engines. Decided to tow a car trailer with the wife’s Supra on it, mileage thru Pa was 5.5 mpg, traded for a country coach asap. The weight of the newmar was apex 17,000 lbs, that steel framed Barth tank is definitely way heavier.

My last motorhome was definitely a fixer upper. I bought a 1999 Damon Daybreak with 34,000 miles for $3000. It ran but it had issues with the parking brake and tires. I bought 2 new tires and drove it 3 hours to get home. It had no power and stalled a lot so I checked the fuel pressure and it barely moved the gauge. Instead of the 50 psi minimum it allegedly needed to run it had about 4 psi. I installed a new pump and it ran like new. After doing some routine maintenance and a few minor upgrades we took it on a 500 mile trip and it did really well.

We moved to a different state and lived in it several months before we closed on a house. It served us well and we sold it for a good bit more than we had in it. My first one was a 38 foot diesel pusher which was super fun to drive but the gasser was way cheaper to travel in and parts were also way cheaper. Just an air filter for the diesel was $180

Not to be critical, but I use an approach called "hyper-realism" and it goes like this: Plan for the worst possibility and go from there. In other words, I would have already made arrangements to get it towed and would have saved myself at least the 5-hrs drive time and the fuel used by the Denali. This would especially be the case with the time restraint (having to work the next day, etc.) I know it is easy to say this now, after seeing the clip, but just to make a point, the last car I purchased was 5-hrs away, though in great shape, and I still went there with a flat-bed tow truck and did not risk an expensive breakdown. As for the hyper-realism bit, I suppose it comes from my years in the US Army, so many decades ago... In the military, anything that can go wrong usually does go wrong. :D

First was the alternator, then the tires, then the fuel pump and filter because the gas tank had not been filled in 3 years and it rusted and ruined the pump so it had to be dropped and cleaned out. The last thing was a hole in the radiator that can't be fixed but can only be replaced. So far I am into over $2k in repairs and I am not done yet, I'm sure, aaaahhhhhh

A long ride home but a fun memory for the family. the 454 is a great engine and never gave me any trouble. We had no Air while driving and the cab was always hot in the summer with the engine right there. It also didn't like high elevation and over heated climbing in the Rockies. You should have fun with this.

So did you get it home. I picked up a 1987 Hawkins motorcoach with 7 new tires All new upholstery done by a shop. Professional layer carpet 2 new ac units. New furnace. New fridge. New water pump. New diesel fired furnace and only has 24k miles on it. Runs great. Built in vacume. Blender. Water filter. Ice maker onan 7kw gen set with 127 hours. 50 amp service.. auto switch over . none of the new items had been used since installed. I have done rv repair for many years and this is amazing. This is one of the best built motorhomes available in the day. I drove it 4 hours home and ran great. I got it for $2000. The new furnace and and fridge cost more than what I paid for it. Everything on the inside is the same as your rv except I have a queen bed. All cabinets are hardwood. Floor is 2 layers of 1 inch ply with 2 inch foam core. Heats and cools easy. Probably sell it this spring and get a 5th wheel.

Actually, the reason it doesn't is because it was designed as a tractor motor. It really doesn't like to be revved high. I never take it past 60 mph. 😺
