I think the Barths were all aluminum.

This is so funny...I just saw this on Craigslist this morning! Looks like some sort of homemade unit??? It is definitely not a Barth...

That's what I thought, so I spent some quality time with Google, and found that there were some ford based motorhomes about 1970 era named Condor, but could find no pictures of them.
That looks like a late 60's Ford arrangment of shape and turn signa arrangement, but the slats in the grill don't correspond to anything I remember. My dad owned a 67 for a few years, and I think that's close to it in appearance.
Whoa... How's this for a matching grille?

Not a Barth. Definetly not a Cortez. Condor was like an ugly Winnie. Either one of those mfrs. that only built a few or an Avco. Not a superior .

Dave, I believe you are correct that it is a Travco.
Here is one identified as a '73 Dodge Travco.

There was a series of 35 ft DPs that were more or less stretched FMCs on an MCC chassis with DD engines. 81-83. By 84 they had aluminum skin and body structure.

Doesn't look like the Travcos we are used to seeing. They are more egg-shaped.
Would a Travco with a Ford grille be considered a Travesty?
