Homes like this 1955 Spartan Royal Mansion that we are sharing today have long been a favorite of vintage mobile home enthusiasts. There’s just something about a Spartan trailer that makes it a stand out among other vintage mobile homes. Whether its the bright, shiny exterior, or its ahead of the times style that attracted homeowners, these homes were the must have’s of the 1950’s.
Over the years we have brought our readers several different styles of the Spartan trailer, including:
We aren’t the only one who loves this 1955 Spartan Royal Mansion remodel, it’s been featured on sites such as House Beautiful, Country Living, and Tiny House Talk. Initially renovated to be part of a vacation destination in North Carolina by a company called Backyard Bunkies (be sure to check them out!), this vintage beauty ultimately found it’s home in Kentucky to one lucky owner.
This 34-foot long trailer has two entrances and has been completely transformed with all of the modern conveniences, but still managed to keep it’s original retro charm.
It’s not easy to keep the exterior of these vintage beauties shining. But the finished look is well worth the effort!

I lived in one of these as a child, from 1959 to 1961, I have been looking for original pictures on line, ours had bunk beds in the hall, the furniture from the thing followed us around after we left it, as mom sent what was in the trailer to Turkey when Dad could finally have us there with him in 62, the one we had burned in 64 or 65, so it is gone, the interior in ours was almost a white color, I have seen it some pictures I have seen on line, the place for me was huge at the time as when your three ft tall the world is a big place. Our door did not have the round window, it was a rounded square, I am trying to determine if ours was a 55 or 56, the front curb side corner matches this perfectly except for the round door window. I am trying to determine if ours was a Royal Mansion or a Royal Manor. I would send you some pictures if you want.
Hello,
Our names are Joyce and Debby. We are two single women over the age of 60 who are looking for two vintage trailers to restore and make into our own homes. WE prefer to have just the shell and ideally, we would love to have a couple of airstreams. We live in WA state so would need to arrange transportation to our site for restoration as well. We both are wanting to have at least 31 feet of space.
My daughter and son in law are looking to purchase a sizable piece of property and have invited us to bring our “tiny” homes and live on their property with them where they will assist us as we continue to age.
I understand that your company deals in used/vintage trailers and we wanted to reach out to see if you could help with finding something suitable for each of our needs.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Joyce Barron
