Details

This is a 1946 Spartan Manor, number 830 off the assembly line the first year they were made. Amazingly the interior is about 90% original. Though some panels have had to be replaced, much of the paneling is the original ribbon mahogany and stained birch. We have added a few modern conveniences such as a new fridge, a new toilet, aluminum shower stall, and an on demand hot water heater. We also gave it a very good polish.

Work Done

As you can imagine, there was work to be done and without compromising on the originality, here is what we did: • Made new sill and some paneling • New front windows • Installed a Dometic gas/110 volt Fridge • Buck riveted aluminum shower • Toilet and black water tank • On demand hot water • New wiring • New 30A WFCO power center • New pex water piping • Solar charger • Twin 6v AGM batteries • Inverter • Installed a new gas heater • Installed a custom drop down table Original parts that we love and kept: • Aluminum double sink • Aluminum counter tops • Cabinet pulls and latches • Original Venetian wood blinds • Cabinetry • Mahogany paneling • Wood and bronze screen doors • Sconce for light • The cone style wall lights • Stove • Shaving sink • Original steps • Mirror

Work Not Done

And here is what we did not do: After some consideration, we decided not to extend the tongue, as many do. Instead we purchased an extended hitch for the truck. We did not install a gray water tank, but opted to catch it in a portable gray water tank.
