Dollytrolley Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would say 1,100 lbs as it sits, not fully furnished....... Likely so...... Imagine IF one was to 'Modernize" the unit we would likely need at least 1,100 lbs of batteries, inverters, surge-protectors, modems, sat-dish, routers, cams, and .......and.....and......ok maybe add +1,500 ......... By the time we get well along with bring it up-to-date..........we will have triple axles and must have a HDT hitched up just to get out of town...... Drive on...........(Not-so-light-after........all) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve from SoCal Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 There is somebody out there that turned a Spartan "mobile Manor" into a fifth wheel, it is towed by a 38or 39 Chevy COE. Eye Candy pure and simple. I am sure Hello Dolly knows the other product line at Spartan, for those that don't search Spartan Executive.

beyerjf Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I am reasonably certain Raymond Lowey had his eyes on one of these after he landed the design contract for Studebaker in 1936.

Just imagine for a moment pulling that rig into a hi-end-RV-park and the manager says......."well sorry we have the rule of not allowing RV's over ten years into the park"........then you could respond......"Indeed I understand that our classic design makes the late models look so classless...."
