What an odd unit. It appears that there is a Formica covered particle board counter in the wet bath? It also does not appear to have a dinette.

Yes! And it is only one foot longer than our Ultravans with almost the same kind of floor layout too.
That is why I'm interested. 
Now I just need to find someone who knows about GMC MHs to look at it for me.

Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.

Tony. You should list a contact number. I just got a call from Fred in Florance AZ who offered to go take a look for me. I told him that it was you looking for an inspection.
Thanx. David

David,
Thank you for your help.
The seller is Tom. I just got off the phone with him and he seems nice.
Tom's number is: 9TWO8-4SEVEN3-808ONE
However, the coach belongs to a friend or so Tom told me.
Tom said it is a project due to its age and how long it sat.
He is selling it to help his friend who bought it around 10 years ago, never used it, and it has been sitting in the AZ sun all this time. His friend does not want to deal with selling it.
Tom said the price was frim at $4,500.
I feel it is high for a project coach that sat for 10 years.
He also said some guy was driving by yesterday in a 77 GMC and stopped by for about an hour to look at it and talk. Wonder if it was someone from here? I wish I knew who that was.
I have the cash - but I think he needs to be more reasonable on the price. It is not doing anyone any good to sit and if it sits too long it might get past a point of no return. Then what good is it to anyone?
Anyone reading this - Please chime in with a fair/good price that you would be willing to pay - If you were looking something like this.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Tony
PS - EDIT - AD ON - I aslo should have stated that Tom said some wires and vacuum hoses on top of the engine were eaten by mice along with the front seat(s) and the main led wire from the generator was one of them too. (That is a RED flag to me - what else will pop up or need tracking down to be fixed due to the mice?)

Yet another undocumented Birchaven floorplan? I think the folks at Coachmen were having way too much fun. A little snug up front, but for two folks to travel in compact comfort... I like it.
Groovy carpet. What, late 80's, early nineties, before mauve and mallard green took over? More accurate than carbon dating.
76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center...
Columbia, SC.

Well... that's a very interesting floorplan...
A 23 footer with separate beds - nice !!
There's a spot for a table in the rear too..
If you buy it Tony - I might be interested in that awning.

Steve,
Sorry - NO PARTS for sale - This one I want for our use and I would fix up to keep it!!
Marie became handicapped/disabled(2002/2003) short after we got married(in 2000).
LSS - Thank God we finally found a doctor willing to give her a chance and operate on her.
Marie has been able to walk on her own since mid 2009.
However, it would be way too hard for either of us to climb over or around each other to get in and out of bed.
We have been looking for a 26 foot twin bed.
But I'm open to this 23 footer as it is only one foot longer than our Ultravan. As we get older it would make it much easier to drive either one of our MHs if they were about the same size.
Or I could picture us forgetting we were in a 26 footer - as we take out some pole or something rounding a corner leaving a parking lot. LOL

Bob,
Indeed this is a unique floor plan! It appears to be OEM Coachman.
The only floor plans for a Birchaven I could find were rear bath and rear dinette. Neither of which looked anything like this one.
Has anyone seen a Birchaven with a floor plan like this before?
When you go up and look at it could you please measure the rear twin beds length and width?
Regards,

I can have a look at it this weekend--it is about 20 miles from me and interestingly I camp in Superior quite often.

Hey Rob,
I already have that info.
I like the setup. (  PLEASE no one step on me trying to buy it )
The bedroom layuot is just what Maire and I need!
It would be even better if it were a 26 or even 28 foot long.
But even thought it is only 23 feet - I would have pulled the trigger and bought it today if Tom was more reasonable on his price. (A project is a project - but yet some feel their stuff is worth more.)
I will be keeping my eye on this one!
Right now he has a lot of tire kickers and I tihnk he feels he will get his price.
As for those measurements you want. This is what I was told today.
Twin Mattresses are 30"W and 6'L
Bedroom is 7' 6" wide
Front couch is 6' 4" and turns into a bed too.
Hope that helps.
