Spartan 1245

[ependydad]

I'm fairly positive we're going to pull the trigger on a Spartan 1245 by Prime Time Manufacturing. I have a few immediate upgrades in mind (adding a 3rd A/C, slide toppers, and vent covers). But overall, it seems like a very livable unit.

Thoughts? Comments? Witty commentary?

I found this on their site -

Spartan Suspension Package - -

“EZ Flex” Rubberized Suspension
Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers
Eight Point Greasable “Wet” Bolts
Long Lasting Brass Bushings
Long Lasting ½” Shackle Plates
7,000 Pound Axles (Most Models)
"EZ Lube" Axle Hubs
16” Aluminum Wheels
8-Lug Wheels
Upgraded G-Rated Radial Tires


Not sure exactly what that means ?? I cannot imagine that it would have 5200# or even 6000# axles with 16" X 8 lug wheels.??

I looked at them online and they appeared to only have 6 lug wheels, 5200 lb or 6000 lb weight rating on the tri-axle models which indicated to me they were already underbuilt in my opinion. Typ of a lot of manufacturers is to just barely use enough to get by.

Do you happen to have a link?

I didn’t crawl underneath but this one is supposed to have 7,000 lbs axles and 8-lug wheels.

Looks good inside and out. Are the OME tires good?

Sailun S637, so we're good there. Plus it has shocks (presumably Lippert, but hey- some shocks are better than no shocks).
