Bob and Doreen transformed a 2014 Class C Mercedes chassis Sprinter van and Forest River Solera RV into their dream 1950 Spartanette RV

the original Forest River Solera RV underwent a dramatic metamorphosis, replacing its cabin with a 24-foot 1950 Spartanette travel trailer. Clever engineering preserved the slide-out and bathroom, maintaining practicality amidst the transformation.

Salvaged lumber from vintage trailers adorns the door fronts, complementing the old-growth aesthetic. Trimwork crafted from 150-year-old Michigan white pine barn wood adds to the vintage allure.

it took them 19 months to do the work, 7 days a week, and they did this during Covid.

not often I see a Biscayne (where did they get that name I wonder) and a Spartan trailer?

Where did Biscayne get its name? Biscayne Bay? It in turn was named for either the Bay of Biscay, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean north of Spain, or an early explorer called El Biscaino, who came from the Spanish province of Biscaya.

it's goofy, and I like it

Spartan Royal was renovated by a Nashville musician who first wrote a song about a trailer and the freedom it symbolizes, then decided to buy a vintage one

The song he wrote inspired him to get this 1949 Spartan “Blueberry” Royal Mansion. He already had the perfect spot where the old Spartan could start a new life as a AirBNB vacation retreat for vintage lovers. Together with his wife Stephanie, he owns a 40-acre farm near Nashville

68 years old... that surprises me, as I still think of these as a lot newer. But there it is, 68 years old and this Spartan Manor just sold for 351,000 dollars at auction
