Thanks for the input...I agree about the bunk bed option...you can still get a bunk over the full size bed in the 19'...I was thinking about a fold down bunk above the dinette in the front but I'm not sure that would work...we had one of the first 30' Safari Bunkhouse model that was made...it took me 18 months to sell that unit...the first and last one that I had. I too think it was to long and heavy for most.

I think I will start a thread just for improvements ideas for the 2007 Dealer Meetings in June and see what we can get accomplished.

It just seems silly if you don't have this, the only option is to pour a few gallons of the pink stuff in the FW tank.

Yes, yes, yes to this one. I bought my own but to mount it I need to remount the pump in a different location in order to avoid the wheel well. For a premium priced product this one should be a no brainer.

Well up and down satelite becomes a little more iffy since the expense for this service isn't cheap. In addition doing an uplink (dependent upon power output), is not something that any person should be setting up.

The cell phone is here and now and for the masses, that would be a great option.

I like the idea of the Camco valve...we have installed a few of them ourselves...once again, it seems it would be much easier at the time of production...

We have added storage under the refer in the Safari by making a removable panel and slide in container...somethings like that I'm sure lots of you have done but it just never hurts hearing it again.

I also agree with the previous post about the drawers sliding out during travel...escpecially in the nightstand in the twin bed floorplan...I will address that one again at the DM.
