FOR SALE: 1950 Spartanette Tandem 30'

Known Issues - Please Read:
Tires are older - should be replaced depending on distance to tow
Trailer brakes were recently, partially inoperable and have been disconnected - I planned to replace axles and never ordered them.
Rear Marvel window seal leaked and damaged rear panel behind head of bed. Leak has been temporarily sealed. This window style is known to rust out over time. An original replacement glass frame has been sourced and IS INCLUDED
Few interior drawers need very minor repairs and/or adjustment
Bathroom walls could use repaint and reseal - I stopped using the wet bath shower years ago as I just found using the bathhouse at RV parks was more convenient to use.
