DW and I spent a couple of hours on Safford's lot yesterday. I talked her into making the 90 mile drive when I read that you had mentioned that they had a 25' FB Ocean Breeze Edition, Jim
It was nice and rainy which kept most of the dreamers at home - didn't bother me one bit however, since DW and I had an opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time alone inside the OB, checking out every nook and cranny (previously saw 2 OB editions at the Hershey show last Sept, but the crowds negated us from lingering {read drooling} over them for very long...)
We both agreed that the 25' FB is a very desirable floorplan - really makes fantastic use of available space and the white cabinets in the OB lightens the interior dramatically. I liked the floor material (bamboo-ey?) also which looks like it would hide dirt and marks very well. The exposed milled aluminum on the walls is fantastic as well...
The negatives: we were both curious as to why curtains weren't used over the double windows above the couch - just pull down shades. No pull down shades in the bedroom behind the curtains either - a recipe for a potential spicy nightime show
. Also, the storage cubby above the pull out pantry, which has its own door, would require a long-armed contortionist to retrieve items from the back of this space.
And the finale: sticker price of a heart-stopping $71,990
. Virginia is very RV unfriendly, so I would be paying a pretty 4% personal property tax on that puppy every year
Hmmm, think I'll stick with my 15 year 30 footer a while longer - a couple of new awnings here, a skin recoat there...
