Asking $93K, This Completely Overhauled Spartan Camper Is One of a Kind

Less than 600 Royal Spartanette travel trailers were made—and this one has been rebuilt from top to bottom with a wooden interior and a rooftop solar system.

Location: Joshua Tree, California

Price: $92,999

Year Built: 1953

Manufacturer: Spartan Aircraft Company

Renovation Date: 2025

Renovation Designer: Thomas Dietrick

Footprint: 280 square feet (1 bedroom, 1 bath)

From the Agent: "This one-of-a-kind travel trailer offers modern updates to a classic design while keeping true to the Spartan legacy of 1950s America. The model that we chose to restore is an exceedingly rare two-door Royal Spartanette. Less than 600 of the longer, more spacious, Royal versions were produced between 1950 and 1953. Our beautifully restored Spartan tiny house was lovingly rebuilt from the ground up over a five-year period. If you are bored with the sterile, uninspired, boxy tiny houses on the market, this beautifully crafted home might be just right for you! This is a turnkey, move-in ready trailer which offers everything you need to live fully off grid."
