Dollytrolley Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Feast your eyes on the classy lines of this 1,100 lb RV..........Towing this "RV" would likely increase your MPG...... https://reno.craigslist.org/rvd/5309074090.html PS........Maybe just tow it with a Smart and leave the HDT in the shed for longer trips Drive on...........(Classy tow.......)

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) 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.

Steve Oh Steve..........yes the class of the round engine, rich leather and mirror polished aluminum..........don't forget the roll-down side window.......the Spartan Executive owner just had to have a Dusenberg as the airport car in the hanger..........Imagine all that class and .........the only computer was between your ears.......... Drive on......(Class without......without fuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...." Drive on..........(Classic is......Class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
