I'll try to post some interior pictures soon. The gally wall is exposed aluminium. The rest of the trailer interior walls are covered with something that looks like corderoy but more plush... Anyway, here is another picture of the trailer parked at home.
DPope,
Looks nice, we will be glad to answer your questions. I do have one for you though. Looking at your picture above, I noticed that the stone guards seem to have a different shine to them. Is the plastic that they cover them with still in place when you took this picture? If you look close at the picture of me on the left you will notice the same color on my guards. I took this picture just after the Safari was delivered to the dealer. The stone guards at that point were covered in a light blue plastic.

I was told by the dealer to leave the stone gaurd plastic covering on until the temparature was warmer. They said it is very difficult to remove when cold. It has been way too cold yet to even try...
Pahaska,
Thanks for the 3M tip. I'll keep that in mind if it starts to sag.
About ready to order a new 25' Safari LS w/ twin beds. wife wants dinette instead of sofa up front. Any pro's and con's on this? Retail is $40 (ouch!!)but dealer says he will deal at $33 does this sound about right?
Until you mentioned it, I had not seen that option on the Safari. Is that new?
Obviously some people must like it or it would not be an option. We have a 25' Sovereign with the front couch, and without it we would have little use for our trailer. We use it to relax, and there is no way we could relax, watch tv, or read at a dinette. But your needs and wants may vary entirely. I know some do not like to deal with folding tables, and can understand that. Again, for us, the folding table is a plus, not a minus. We find it quite convenient to use, or not use as we see fit.
Is there one you can go and just sit in for an hour or so? That would probably give you your answer.
It probably would be a rough choice to make. We have a 27' unit with the sofa. My wife does miss the dinette but we also like the sofa too. My gut feeling is if we had to do it over again, we would stick with the sofa. The fold down table is pretty handy and we normally leave it up in its minimal position once we arrive at our destination. At dinner we open it up to its full length.
We went round and round since the 25' Safari had both dinette and sofa. We ended up with the 27' because of the double wardrobe closets.

The problem with the sofa and dinette that is in the 25C- 6 sleeper is that you end up with a bed in the corner and a small bathroom. Only the two of us but it is nice to be able to play cards or have dinner with other folks at a dinette. As far as I can tell, the only way to get a larger bathroom and bedroom is to get the sofa or dinette option up front.
Very true, the bed is also a bit smaller in width on the 6 sleeper.
Still, if I recall the specs I had in the literature, the side dinette is a fair size larger than the front dinette. I have the Bambi front dinette and I believe it is very similar in size to the Safari's front dinette. It looks the same on the website floorplans. You could easily seat four and sleep two 6 foot adults on the side dinette in the Safari 6 sleeper, but not the front one. The front one sleeps only kids really and can seat 4 adults, but not as comfortably as the side dinette can. The bathroom is a bit larger in the non "C" Safari, but how much time do you plan on spending in the head? Me, I get in and then get out! One other thing I noticed about the 6 sleeper is that the black tank is smaller than the rest. If the website it correct, that seems a bit dumb. I mean you have 6 people that could be in the unit as opposed to 4 and the tank is bigger for the 4 than the 6? MMMM... Then again, my specs and window sticker on the Bambi say the black is only 8 gallons and that isn't true.
I like the non 6 sleeper rear bedroom config. I think that is a really neat setup. But for me, I'm willing to not have a seperate bedroom or two twin beds for the ability to sleep 4 or 5 very comfortably. Listen to me though, I too only have the girlfriend and the dog, so sleep four I won't do unless I bring the guys on a camping trip for some reckless abandon guy time!
The 25' Safari 6 sleeper's dinette is tight for 2 adults, and made into a bed it is best for 1 not-too-tall adult or 2 kids. It is nice to have both the sofa and the dinette though!
The six sleeper is great for 2 people - you can have the bed, dinette, and sofa - just like home.
The corner bed is fine except when you try to put the sheets and stuff on - it's tough to get the sheets under the mattress in the rear and curb side! I'm thinking about giving up on that and just using sleeping bags.
