Our Story
Spartan trailers are widely considered to be the originator of the tiny house concept. Oil tycoon John Paul Ghetty purchased the Spartan Aircraft Company and commissioned the construction of these lavish houses on wheels to host his investors on oil drilling expeditions. It wasn't long before a go go 1950s America followed suit as this new concept of luxury and travel began to blossom during this period of time. The Spartan model that we chose to restore is an exceedingly rare two door "Royal Spartanette". Less than 600 of this design were produced during the 1950s.
My wife I had discovered Spartans one day while researching possible ways to accommodate overnight guests coming in from out of town to work with me at my recording studio here in Joshua Tree, California where I work as a music producer and engineer. We were immediately attracted to the robust build quality and striking presence of Spartan Trailers. After a few months of scouring listings online, we eventually found the perfect one for us to buy and begin restoring.
Shortly after purchasing our Royal Spartanette, we were faced with disappointing news. Without warning, the owner of the house that we were renting decided to put the house up for sale. This is where our journey into "living tiny" began as we considered the idea of renovating our Spartan to live in ourselves.
