identify the trailer in my sketch?
OK, I saw one of these in rural FL in back of what someone called home. I had no batteries in my camera so i hope this sketch i made from memory is enough for someone to tell what the heck it is. whatever it is it's very interesting. it's got to be 50's vintage kin to AS, right? Help it's driving me crazy!

Looks like a Spartan double-end 2 bedroom trailer. We've got one in the shop being worked on. I'll try to snap and post a photo of it tomorrow.

Definitely looks like a Spartan to me. Those things have unmistakable lines, and are my 2nd favorite among all vintage aluminum.

WOW, i found it in Lee's link and when i came back to post it a bunch of you already nailed it! it's a spartan i'm sure of it.
the front end is unmistakable. it leans outward at the top elegant lines. the first one i saw really caught my eye about a month ago. it's wasting away in a "backyard". just last weekend though we were at Myakka River State Park (a truly great state park) and ate nearby at Welcome to Yoder's Amish Restaurant of Sarasota, Florida! ( a must eat at in sarasota BTW). there was a spartan was across the street from yoder's.
from memory, i think they are both 50's vintage. i'll post more picks of the one in need when i pass through that part of FL again. thought it was in pretty good shape. i only saw it from the street. looks like a real worthy restoration project. bill, the 46 you posted is incredible. thanks to all!

That looks very similar to the one in our shop. It's a '54 Royal Mansion.

Double Enders are the best! Nothing else like them and probably never will be.
Here's an interior pic of the restored '57 Royal Manor pictured above. It was done by a friend of mine here in OR. Just amazing!
