Airstream
say:
"The
Safari's
silver
curves
make
a
lovely
reflective
surface
for
moonlight,
but
they're
not
just
for
looks:
the
aerodynamically-shaped
exterior
design
lowers
wind
resistance
—requiring
less
horsepower
and
approximately
20%
less
fuel
than
conventional
box
trailers.
Monocoque
construction,
ultralight
materials,
and
a
low
center
of
gravity
make
towing
the
Safari
a
dream."

It's OK if all you want is something to show off!
But, jeez, I bought a 2 yr old Class A (beautiful) for 30 grand!!
dick k
:
46 inch wide bed!!! Way too narrow for two people.
Otherwise, I love it.
mxcoach
:
Why would someone pay over 25K - I love the unit but travel trailers that size are usually 12K max!
Claire Honiston
:
This 17 model is perfect for us we love everything about it. Agree the AC is noisy but I think it's maybe too big for the trailer. Can't they find a smaller unit?
Melissa Kent
:
We have the Safari Sport 17 and think it's wonderful. We spent a large part of the summer touring around pulling it and just enjoying the freedom. It's small but we never felt it was TOO small. The A/C is noisy is the only complaint I have about spending the summer in it but it wasn't so much of a problem.
