1946 Spartan Manor Model 25 Travel Trailer

This 1946 Spartan Manor Model 25 travel trailer was purchased by the seller in 2022 and subsequently refurbished. Work involved repairing the body, polishing the exterior, installing holding tanks, insulation, and a climate control system, and replacing the windows, wood paneling, cabinetry, flooring, plumbing, electrical system, appliances, lighting, axle, and brakes. The trailer has two entry doors, and the layout features a forward lounge, a galley, a bathroom, and a bedroom with a queen mattress. Amenities include an Isotherm refrigerator, a Dometic cooktop, ceiling vents, a water heater, and blackout curtains. This Spartan Manor is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Spartan travel trailers were produced by the Spartan Aircraft Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma, between 1945 and 1962, and their designs were influenced by aircraft construction techniques. Featuring Art Deco styling by G.R. Schutes, the Manor model was offered in various evolutions until 1962. The aluminum exterior of this example was repaired and polished during the refurbishment. Additional work involved replacing the windows, weatherstripping, screens, and screen doors. A five-pole awning with a striped canopy covers the porch area, and other features include LED taillights, street-side and camp-side entry doors with porthole windows, boarding steps, and Spartan badging. The trailer weighs approximately 4,000 lbs. and measures approximately 25′ long and 8’ wide.

A Dexter 8k-lb axle was fitted during the refurbishment along with steel wheels, black wall tires, and electrically actuated drum brakes. Other equipment includes two propane tanks, a seven-pin trailering electrical connector, and a manual tongue jack. Connections for water, waste disposal, and electrical service are positioned on the street side. The outdoor camping accessories are not included in the sale.

The interior is outfitted with woodgrain vinyl flooring and gray-painted walls along with wall sconces, recessed overhead lighting, and residential-style power outlets. A three-pane panoramic window is up front, and the lounge area is furnished with a sofa bed upholstered in gray cloth, a swiveling chair, and an area rug. The wall art and decor are not included in the sale.

The galley has composite countertops, walnut cabinetry, a pantry, and a stainless-steel sink with a nickel-finish faucet as well as under-cabinet lighting, a Dometic two-burner propane cooktop, and an Isotherm drawer-style refrigerator and freezer. A RecPro climate control system is mounted overhead, and other house equipment includes a Progressive Dynamics power converter, passive ceiling vents, a 6-gallon Stiebel Eltron water heater, a 12-gallon black tank, and a 37-gallon grey water tank.

The bedroom houses a queen bed with a memory foam mattress, three windows, a closet, and a dedicated exterior door. The wet bath has an aluminum surround and is equipped with duckboard flooring, a Dometic ceramic toilet, a shower with a tethered sprayer, and a power-operated overhead vent with integrated lighting.
