I live in a 1953 Spartanette. #136. neighbor gave it to me if I would move it... you can buy the door handles but be careful because there left and rights... I had broken windows so I had more water damage. ..missing the refrigerator but other than that it's all there I had to replace the front window. I used thick pexiglass ...I found its the perfect place for a air conditioner because I did not want to start removing the rivits.... this trailer is much much better built then anything you can buy today. you can easily find the wood and stuff to repair the trailer at a home Depot

It's the smaller and sleeker version of the Royal Spartanette both made by the Spartan Aircraft Company. And then there was all the larger blockier park models like the Spartan Manor and the Spartan Mansion. I believe there is a Royal Mansion as well.

We don't gut trailers. We gut fish. Trailers are not designed or built like houses. In houses, the walls hold up the cabinets. In trailers, the cabinets hold up the walls. All of the structural integrity is in the cabinets, where they are placed and how they are fastened. Unless you are an engineer with decades of designing trailers, you should not GUT a trailer.
