52 seems way high for sure. I'd want to see a lot more photos of the interior, but it doesn't sound good. Sad that the roof is slopped and even sadder that a newbie canned ham fan might end up paying. In more ways than one. Sigh.

As the vintage market gets more known, the number of unmolested campers seems to be dropping. I've even noticed it from a year ago. People think they can glue an extra birch panel here and there, stick on new tiles over old and paint with a $39 spray gun to make it "restored". More often they're right because the camper is worth 500% more after they do it. You have to admit, cutting a whole 3' by 3' to carry in a frig is creative. Tragic, but creative. |

Where are you all getting the width for the 1400? The later 1400 models were wider but the early model was 6'6" as far as I know, just like the 1500. The only difference between the 1400 and 1500 at that time I believe, was the length.

Judging by the models that are listed there, that spec sheet was published in the later-60's or early -70's. The Starflyte and Stratoflyte models didn't exist in the 50's and early-60's. I am inclined to believe that the 50's models were much closer in size. They were based on a couple models with only minor differences in their specs. The later model of the 1400 was designed as a shorter version of the 16SC, looked like this:  |
