My guess is that it's a Spartan Manor... Not 100% sure though. That trailer was once a beauty - it will take a lot of elbow grease and $$$ to bring it back to life. I hope he's able to sell it or at least give it to someone.
I like the guys sense of humor, kind of like Monty Hall with a bit of darkness.

That's a Vagabond, even rarer and if possible cooler than a Spartan.
Here is what they looked like new.
1953 Vagabond 35
Note the resemblance of the interior as well as exterior.

Oh man, that yellow one is pretty sweet! Look at those windows! I wish I could head up to BC and rescue that other one from the black bear right now

Yeah look at the second last picture, who picked those colors fuschia chartreuse and putty green.
But they are authentic, check out this ad from when they were new.

I think those colors are what I love most of all! All the RVs today are so conservative and boring, why not brighten up the park with a putty green mobile mansion?

$900 sounds a bit steep and I don't know if the local halflings carry that kind of change in their pocketses. I hope the seller is flexible enough on the price to find a new owner.

That has got to be the best trailer ad I have ever read. No sugar coating or "A little TLC and this will be a showplace" stuff. This person should get some kind of award for this ad.
